• DRBD merged with kernel 2.6.33

  
  Kev009.com — Authority: 103
  DRBD has been a long standing external patch in many distribution kernels.  It has finally been merged in the 2.6.33 window.  Colloquially the “Distributed Redundant Block Device”, this piece of code allows you to mirror blocks of storage across multiple nodes. This is primarily useful in high ...

• I know you missed them: virtualisation ranting goes on!

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  While I started writing init scripts for qemu I’ve been prodded again by Luca to look at libvirt instead of reinventing the wheel. You probably remember me ranting about the whole libvirt and virt-manager suite quite some time ago as it really wasn’t my cup of tea. But then I gave it another try. On a very ...

• Opening up the tinderbox

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  As I said before, the tinderbox is hardly parallelisable but on the other hand, it can yield much better results if multiple instances are being executed, independently, by more people. Of course, this also requires that the executions are somewhat coordinated so that they don’t execute the exact process over ...

• Why the tinderbox is a non-distributed effort

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  In my previous post about a run control for the tinderbox, Pavel suggested me to use Gearman to handle the run control section; as I explained him earlier this evening, this is probably too much right now; the basic run control I need is pretty simple (I can even keep using xargs , if Portage gave me hooks for ...

• Rockhoppers and Tussock

  
  Welcome to the Quark Expeditions Community — Authority: 128
  I saw for the first time in my life today a Rockhopper Penguin – the mad scientist of the penguin world. I was surprised at their size – tiny in comparison to Gentoos and Adelies. I did not see them rock hopping, rather they were standing upright or lying prone among Black-browed albatross nest. One observant ...

• Needing a run control

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  You might not be familiar with the term “run control” even though you use openrc; guess what the rc stands for? This post might not be of any interest to you; it’s going to delineate some requirements for my tinderbox to be expanded and streamlined. So if you don’t care to help me or know not of ...

• Gentoo service announcement: keep clear of GNU patch-2.6

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  Some people already know what I’m talking about but I’m pretty sure most won’t. But trust me first, and go sync or mask patch-2.6 locally and downgrade it as soon as you can . The new version of the utility messes up when using -p0 and the fuzz factor, and that breaks the epatch function that almost every ...

• More details about symbol collisions

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  You might remember that I was quite upset by the amount of packages that block each other when they install the same files (or files with the same name). It might not be obvious – and actually it’s totally non-obvious – why I would insist on these to be solved whenever possible, and why I’m still wishing we ...

• ModSecurity, antispam and books

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  You probably remember that I wrote quite a bit about my use of ModSecurity to handle antispam for the blog’s comments as it allows me to verify the User-Agent header as well as having a few extra tricks up my sleeves without enabling either forced registration, captchas or comment forced moderation. Among the ...

• Year in filename patterns (”%Y”) for Asunder 1.9

  
  Hartwork Blog — Authority: 103
  In recent times of near-zero coding I took a break yesterday afternoon to write a patch for Asunder 1.9. I’m using Asunder for the moment because as Audex and KAudioCreator fail to handle my CD-ROM device correctly (without really telling why) for reasons I still need to uncover. So Asunder turned out to work for ...

  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  This post is coming to you on my birthday! Yes, I’m still writing even today; I’m still filing bugs as well. I do have a personal request if somebody wishes to send me something: two £20 PSN cards (from UK). I bought Fallout 3 for PS3 “preowned” while I was in London earlier this month; two days ago the ...

• What the tinderbox is doing for you

  
  Flameeyes's Weblog : — Authority: 125
  Since I’ve asked for some help with the tinderbox also with some pretty expensive hardware (the registered ECC RAM ), I should probably also explain well what my tinderbox is doing for the final users. Some of the stuff is what any tinderbox would do, but as I wrote before, a tinderbox alone is not enough ...

  To complete the topic I started with the previous post I would like to give you some more notes about the way the tinderbox work, and in particular about the manual fiddling I have to do on it to make sure that it works smooth; and the issues that haven’t been tackled yet. As I said the tinderbox is a Linux ...
