[21:52] I'm about to leave for the holidays I wanted to stop by before I do [21:53] Everything working on your side now? [21:53] first, to give you results of 3.4.6 test, and to thank you for all of your help! [21:53] it is indeed. [21:53] cool, makes much nicer holidays :-) [21:53] I did try the 3.4.6 setup-storage, and got a perl error [21:53] Global symbol "$needs_resize" requires explicit package name at /usr/share/fai/setup-storage//Commands.pm line 911. [21:53] !? [21:53] omg [21:53] mikap, still around? [21:54] now, this may in fact be cause by my extracting setup storage from 3.4.6 into my 4.0~48 installation [21:54] well, no, looks more like an incomplete/failed merge [21:54] i simply did not have time to completely uninstall 4.0 and install a full 3.4.6 [21:54] oh, i see [21:55] Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/setup-storage line 92. [21:55] BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/setup-storage line 92. [21:55] unfortuately I will not be able to test further, until after the 1st [21:55] but I'm so pleased with the progress that we've made. I expect to go to production with this the first week of Jan [21:56] meanwhile we'll probably do a 3.4.7 :-/ [21:57] I wish that I'd had time to do a complete change over to 3.4.6 [21:57] that takes me about 4 hours to do, and I simply don't have that today [21:59] hmm, 3.4.5 should be fine, shouldn't be causing such trouble [21:59] i hadn't tried 3.4.5 properly. when I tried it last night i had left in the disk align part [22:00] so today I noticed there was a 3.4.6 so I tried that instead, with the disk align removed [22:00] oh, no problem, that was more an informational message [22:00] just in case you need something working :-) [22:01] i'm quite pleased with 4.0 unless you really don't think I should be using that [22:03] oh, I'm happy to see you using it :-) [22:03] but please be prepared for some kind of breakage [22:04] but I'll of course always try to fix things ASAP [22:06] nothing has broken yet, that we didn't know about. I feel confident in it. ANd I'mm content to be ahead of the curve [22:07] what I'm a bit worried about is that version changes of FAI take about 4 hours for you [22:07] what is it that takes so long? [22:08] to go from 3.4.x to 4.0 and back? [22:08] yep [22:09] I generally back up my configs and then wipe the server and start clean [22:09] from 3.4.5 to 3.4.6 i would not do that [22:09] nor for a 4.0 build ~45 to ~48 [22:09] but from 3 to 4 or back I do [22:10] i know that isn't necessary [22:10] but I like to make sure it's clean [22:11] ok [22:11] our fai server is also our debmirror, and it also has a few other jobs too [22:11] I usually just do rebuilds of the NFSROOT, that should IMHO suffice [22:12] strictly speaking I could do that, yes. [22:12] It has become almost autonomic for me to just wipe the server and follow my steps [22:14] then stick with it [22:14] there's nothing better than automation [22:14] even if it's just "like automatic" [22:15] my brain has become so conditions to just wiping the server and starting over that i'd become almost like breathing. this is why we love fai here. [22:15] break a server? so what? just fai it, :) [22:16] but our production FAI right now is old, overscripted, running on and installing etch. time for it to go.
