01:13 < veki> I started to build mnemosyne. I was reported thatthere are 21 updated package in the list and that config is started again . I mean not config ad atthe beginning but a sort of recobfiguration. I suppose that you update dpackages and that after my svn up it refreshes the list with what is updated. AM I right?

10:59 < CIA-9> /mnt/live instead of /live to finally have a really standard
10:59 < CIA-9> conforming mount point setup
10:59 < CIA-9> * remove the /init{,2} files when they are no longer needed
10:59 < CIA-9> * disabled debug prints

13:45 < rxr> if it "sometimes" fails ...
13:45 < rxr> dsoul: we have an t2-updates list that notifies about possible updates .-..
13:48 < dsoul> rxr: just asking, comparing to meatoo :)
13:48 < rxr> meatoo ?
13:50 < dsoul> scans freshmeat.net and packages in gentoo portage
13:50 < dsoul>
http://gentooexperimental.org/meatoo
13:51 < morfoh> rxr: regarding the update script ... it would be nice if it could "translate" the URL i.e. the one from sf.net

13:56 < rxr> oehm ...
13:56 < rxr> shoudl work mostly
13:56 < rxr> I could inject some more missing stuff in some seconds ....
13:56 < rxr> you wanna build it ?
13:56 < rxr> right now it will not be as the last release CD since some kde and such configs and hacks are not yet inserted ...
13:56 < morfoh> rxr: yes ... I'd like to build one
13:57 < morfoh> rxr: kde isn't an issue for me atm
14:02 < CIA-9> rene * r10146 /trunk/target/archivista/ (11 files in 6 dirs): * the next archivista code drop

14:06 < rxr> but no guarantee
14:08 < morfoh> rxr: thanks ... I'll test it :)
14:08 < rxr> I feared that
14:08 < morfoh> :)
14:09 < morfoh> rxr: is everything on bootdisk build using dietlibc ?
14:09 < rxr> noie
14:09 < rxr> nope
14:15 < CIA-9> rene * r10150 /trunk/target/livecd/ (build.sh build_initrd.sh): * fixed LiveCD boot title
14:17 < rxr> morfoh: you want svn up ...
14:17 < morfoh> rxr: is that ok that the parse-config in bootdisk target is referencing the parse-config from the non-existing dietlibc target ?
14:17 < morfoh> rxr: yes ... svn up now :)
14:17 < rxr> oehm
14:17 < rxr> .oO
14:18 < rxr> no - that should be fixed
14:18 < rxr> no idea what it tries to do ...
14:18 < morfoh> hmmm ... where is choosen what package will be build with diet ?
14:19 < rxr> in the config.in stuff like SDECFGSET_DIETLIBC_pdksh='1'
14:19 < rxr> should be
14:20 < morfoh> ah! ok ... sorry for that dumb question ;)
14:20 < rxr> there are no dumb questions - only dump answers ...
14:21 < morfoh> hehe :) ... thanks anyway
14:21 < morfoh> rxr: have you seen my query regarding dietlibc ?
14:24 < rxr> oehm?

16:27 < CIA-9> rene * r10159 /trunk/misc/target/functions.in: * decided to let copy_from_source copy empty directories - often needed
16:36 < rxr> morfoh: eventlog has no .cache
16:36 < rxr> please submit a .cache for new pacakges
16:36 < rxr> also I think it should not be in base ...
16:36 < rxr> pinfo is another thing that should not be in base ...
16:36 < rxr> base should be base - not extra/add-on stuff ...
16:37 < rxr> though pinfo was not added by you I think
16:37 < rxr> just that I noticed those right now ...
16:38 < rxr> pinfo is there since revision 1 - "Initial Import." 2003-04-25 ...
16:42 < CIA-9> rene * r10160 /trunk/package/x86/grub/t2.xpm.gz: * added grub/t2.xpm.gz - seems I forgot to commit it

16:45 < morfoh> rxr: ok ... I'll inject the cache file. where do you want to have eventlog in the tree ?
16:46 < CIA-9> rene * r10162 /trunk/target/archivista/pkgsel: * removed 29 (hopefully unneeded) packages from the archivista target
16:46 < rxr> morfoh: no idea - I only was suprised to find it in base ...
16:47 < rxr> maybe we even need a new category for those ...
16:47 < morfoh> rxr: ack
16:47 < morfoh> rxr: then syslog-ng should also moved to a different place
16:50 < morfoh> I think the tree needs some reorg anyway
16:50 < rxr> the tree like resorting some packages now that the first pass is over ?
16:52 < mnemoc> rxr: i'll try deleting the cache.... reverting fl_wrapper didn't helped to flex on 2-binutils
16:52 < rxr> puh
16:52 < rxr> maybe only wipe binutils cache ...
16:52 < mnemoc> hi rxr, morfoh
16:53 < morfoh> mnemoc: hi monkey :)
16:53 < rxr> so you don't loose that all
16:53 < rxr> hi mnemoc
16:53 < mnemoc> monkey?
16:53 < mnemoc> flex and binutils
16:53 < morfoh> mnemoc: one day you told me that you're like a monkey :)
16:53 < mnemoc> :)
16:53 < mnemoc> how are you butterfly?
16:54 < morfoh> hmmm ... quite good ... thanks. and you ?
16:54 < morfoh> mnemoc: how is the monkey business ?
16:55 < mnemoc> i just finished activities at univ. now i can focus in working
16:55 < morfoh> mnemoc: finishing = abandoning ?
16:56 < mnemoc> finishing the semester. quitting comes after that
16:56 < mnemoc> does anyone else experiences /proc population on /etc/mtab?
16:57 < morfoh> mnemoc: not yet
16:57 < mnemoc> uhm
16:58 < rxr> mnemoc: quitting ?
16:58 < mnemoc> yep.... i hope to return in 1-2 years
16:58 < keinek> hi mnemoc
16:58 < morfoh> mnemoc: none /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 <-- /etc/mtab
16:58 < rxr> mnemoc: ah ,-)
16:58 < morfoh> hi keinek
16:58 < keinek> now ghost is copying t2 to my notebook :)
16:58 < keinek> hi morfoh
16:59 < rxr> btw. I kinda enjoy the new mount layout of my finally commited live cd code ...
16:59 < rxr> the so far release cds have been quite messy in that area ...
17:00 < morfoh> rxr: good to hear :)
17:00 < rxr> t2 nearly boots faster in qemu that debian does on real silicon ...
17:00 < keinek> 1 giga in 2 hours by LAPLINK
17:00 < keinek> :)
17:01 < mnemoc> # cat /etc/mtab | grep proc | wc -l
17:01 < mnemoc> 7
17:01 < rxr> I can't imagine how debian users can live with their slow boot scripts ...
17:01 < mnemoc> and i cleaning it yesterday
17:01 < mnemoc> debian users don't know anything else
17:01 < mnemoc> fedora at last
17:02 < rxr> mnemoc: yes here, too
17:03 < mnemoc> proc thing?
17:03 < rxr> though that is a very hacked up live cd to HD dump to get the archivsta target building ...
17:03 < rxr> mnemoc: ack
17:03 < rxr> mnemoc: my iBook does not suffer this
17:03 < rxr> but it is not T2 HEAD
17:03 < rxr> and I usually do not build targets on it these days ...
17:03 < mnemoc> i have noticed :(
17:03 < rxr> you have noticed what ?
17:04 < mnemoc> you usally do not build targets these days
17:04 < rxr> mnemoc: that is not true
17:04 < rxr> I do - right now - see the commits ...
17:04 < rxr> as well as on the boxes at home ...
17:04 < rxr> just not on the iBook ....
17:04 < mnemoc> archivista only
17:04 < rxr> too slow ..
17:04 < rxr> mnemoc: archivista was started 2 days ago ...
17:04 < mnemoc> livecd before that
17:04 < rxr> I built embedded and desktop at home ...
17:05 < rxr> mnemoc: what is your point ?
17:05 < mnemoc> did it built?
17:05 < rxr> of course
17:05 < mnemoc> i got aborts on diet/embedded and uclibc/embedded :\
17:05 < mnemoc> i guess i'm missing something
17:05 < rxr> what kind of aborts
17:06 < rxr> only the libpng did not built recently IIRC
17:06 < mnemoc>
http://t2.geeks.cl/regressions/stable-dietemb/regressions.html
17:06 < mnemoc>
http://t2.geeks.cl/regressions/stable-uemb/regressions.html
17:06 < rxr> ok, I did not built stable for quite some time ...
17:06 < mnemoc> libpng on diet and libowfat on uclibc
17:06 < morfoh> libpng shouldNb't be the show stopper on embedded anyway
17:07 < rxr> just remove libpng on 2.1 ...
17:07 < mnemoc> stage 1 _is_ showstoper
17:07 < rxr> on embedded ...
17:07 < mnemoc> ok
17:07 < rxr> mnemoc: maybe it never built
17:07 < rxr> I do not remember anymore if it built
17:07 < mnemoc> and libowfat?
17:07 < rxr> maybe it was in the list to make me built one day for my Psion ...
17:07 < rxr> mnemoc: libowfat what ?
17:07 < mnemoc>
http://t2.geeks.cl/regressions/stable-uemb/regressions.html
17:08 < morfoh> rxr mnemoc ... I've moved libpng to the uclibc specific selection yesterday
17:08 < mnemoc> morfoh: ok
17:08 < rxr> mnemoc: no - remove it from embedded in 2.1 ...
17:08 < rxr> nothing it using it anyway
17:08 < rxr> it was just work in progress for the Psion
17:08 < mnemoc> ok
17:08 < morfoh> mnemoc: svn diff -r 10133:10134 http://svn.exactcode.de/t2 <--- libpng rev
17:08 < rxr> the current embedded focused work does not need png so far ...
17:09 < rxr> morfoh: does it built with uclibc ?
17:09 < mnemoc> minimal over 2.1-pristine with fl_wrapper reverted built
17:09 < morfoh> rxr: I haven't tested on new trunk yet but it worked some days before
17:09 < rxr> well - ok then I might have added it for uclibc - but
17:10 < rxr> if it fails just remove it from 2.1 embedded ...
17:10 < morfoh> rxr: I'll test it if I have some free CPU cycles for a uemb target
17:11 < rxr> mnemoc: ok - I schedule uclibc embeeded libowfat review
17:12 < rxr> alway sent me a mail for such breakage and you will get a response the next day or so
17:12 < rxr> I just can not follow all scrollback with this active channel ,-)
17:13 < mnemoc> isn't rxr: blah blah logged on away thing?
17:13 < dsoul> bugzilla?
17:13 < mnemoc> we have trac
17:14 < mnemoc> but this errors don't affect 2.1 _branch_ they affect my merge queue
17:16 < rxr> mnemoc: who said I use the /away feature ...
17:16 < rxr> mnemoc: I guess the libowfat update is causing it ?
17:17 < mnemoc> ok, i'll revert it
17:18 < mnemoc> yuck, now libpcap failed on dietemb....
17:19 < mnemoc> uhm... libowfat update is already commited on 2.1....
17:19 < morfoh> mnemoc: I'll fix libpcap
17:19 < mnemoc> thanks :)

19:38 < mnemoc> yep
19:38 < mnemoc> i had 9294 flagged as merged, but not really merged

19:40 < karasz> is that good news for the rest of us?
19:40 < karasz> waiting for your iso... i mean
19:40 < mnemoc> :)
19:41 < mnemoc> after my 5 test builds success, i'll do some extra merges and tag rc2
19:41 < morfoh> mnemoc: yeha :)
19:42 < morfoh> mnemoc: but you've noticed my mail from today regarding the minimal I've build
19:42 < karasz> i have my fingers crosed
19:42 < karasz> :)
19:42 < mnemoc> morfoh: no
19:43 < morfoh> mnemoc: don't think about it .... it was finished with 0 err's
19:43 < mnemoc> :)
19:44 < morfoh> mnemoc: but I think we've to flag curl NOPARALLEL because it fails on some machines
19:44 < mnemoc> 2.1 branch is stable :) my merge working copy is not :)
19:44 < mnemoc> .oO
19:44 < morfoh> at least curl mostly doesn't build in the first run
19:44 < morfoh> but if you reschedule it after that it build fine
19:45 < morfoh> or it's a dependency
19:45 < mnemoc> 7.13 or just 7.14?
19:46 < morfoh> the one from 2.1 branch
19:46 < morfoh> I guess it's 7.13

20:55 < karasz> hi guys
20:55 < karasz> litle bagger is back again
20:56 < morfoh> karasz: since now we'll ignore the little bagger ;)
20:56 < karasz> anyone interested in a little chit-chat abt clustering?
20:57 < morfoh> karasz: what do you mean ?
20:57 < karasz> i shadding some light about implementing clusters with T2..
20:58 < mnemoc> mosix? beowulf?
20:58 < karasz> drbd?
20:58 < morfoh> karasz: oh! but this is a very complex issue and it depends on what you want to do with the cluster
20:58 < karasz> maybe a cluster target?
20:59 < karasz> i know it is complex, i read a lot abt beowulf but sadly beowulf seems over my head for now
21:00 < karasz> i managet though to set up a clusterknoppix
21:00 < karasz> that was good but some apps do not work with openmosix, or at least that's what i heard
21:00 < mnemoc> drbd and heartbeat packages, and a target mixing them isn't _that_ hard
21:00 < karasz> postgresql is one of them
21:01 < morfoh> karasz: as I said .... first you've to think about what to cluster and then choosing the right techology
21:01 < karasz> that is right but from what i read on drbd page, drbd is not sharing cpu's
21:02 < karasz> i guess is just for storage
21:02 < minto> Seems like T2 is getting too much targets
21:02 < karasz> or am I wrong?
21:03 < mnemoc> minto: that's why i want to finish 'nested targets', we providing generic targets and people especializing them
21:03 < morfoh> damn ... these motherfuckers EU secretaries of interior agreed to save all phone and internet connection data
21:03 < morfoh> because the london "event"
21:03 < karasz> i have a pretty good idea about what i need from clustering
21:03 < mnemoc> due to 50 people??
21:03 < minto> Too much target is not necessarily bad, but I think they should be separated from core T2.
21:04 < minto> Maybe we should set up some kind of sourceforge for T2 targets.
21:04 < karasz> i lack though the knowledge to start searching for technologies
21:04 < mnemoc> t2-powered.org
21:04 < minto> mnemoc: :-)
21:04 < mnemoc> we need our own real website before that
21:04 < minto> This separation is needed because if will get harder to update all targets when new T2 core versions arrive.
21:05 < karasz> minto: you are smiling but it seems to me a very good ideea
21:05 < mnemoc> using _good_ categorization, target wouldn't need to be updated due to relocations or new packages
21:06 < mnemoc> current categorization is simply useless
21:06 < morfoh> as mnemoc pointed we should first focus on bringing T2 in a good shape and ginishing our core targets anyway
21:06 < karasz> a good site like this and the propper propaganda
21:06 < karasz> it can become a linuxer Mecca
21:06 < minto> I agree. I was just thinking out loud.
21:07 < morfoh> minto: :)
21:07 < karasz> but morfoh is very right
21:07 < karasz> as allways I presume...:)
21:08 < morfoh> minto: I know ... and I think that's a good idea. but the core members have a high load atm afaik
21:08 < morfoh> karasz: I don't agree ;)
21:08 < karasz> of course ;)
21:09 < minto> morfoh: I understand, and want to share the load. :-)
21:09 < morfoh> minto: yes ... I know :)
21:10 < karasz> mnemoc: query? I do not want to fill the logs...
21:10 < mnemoc> nah
21:10 < minto> If it helps ease the pain, I am willing to donate some fast cpu cycles :-)
21:11 < karasz> nah as in?
21:11 < morfoh> minto: I think you'll get some oportunities to show us how fast noisy is building AMD64 targets ;)
21:12 < minto> When rc2 is done, I will give it another go.
21:13 < minto> If only I can find a way to not have to shut it down all the time.
21:13 < mnemoc> don't expect changes on that field on rc2
21:14 < mnemoc> sparc64 will be merged, but i doubt that will affect amd64
21:14 < minto> mnemoc: I am not expecting changes. I just want to build in when rc2 tag is placed.
21:14 < morfoh> minto: you could send noisy to berlin and I'll give you remote access ;)
21:14 < morfoh> .oO( ok ok it was just a try ;)o
21:15 < minto> Morfoh: Where would you place that jumbo jet?
21:15 < morfoh> minto: it doesn't matter if it's fast :)
21:15 < mnemoc> karasz: what did you want to tell me on query?
21:16 < minto> it is fast, glibc in 15 minutes, if I am correct.
21:16 < mnemoc> :(
21:16 < morfoh> minto: I had an office within a NOC with a lot of machines some years ago ... so it doesn't matter
21:16 < karasz> i wanted to explain what do i need a cluster for... and get some free advices ;)
21:16 * minto thinks morfoh is hearing impared.
21:17 < morfoh> minto: no! :)
21:17 < minto> :-)
21:17 < morfoh> minto: I'm just a hard one :)
21:17 < morfoh> somtimes at least :)
21:17 < mnemoc> karasz: talk here
21:17 < karasz> ok
21:17 < karasz> so here it goes
21:18 < karasz> right now i am buiding database servers for our customers
21:18 < karasz> linux +postgresql
21:18 < karasz> for the wast majority of them a uniprocessor or dual processor is sufficient
21:19 < karasz> some of them though are to big for that
21:19 < karasz> for now the only solution that popped in my mind was an IBM with 8 cpus
21:20 < karasz> buid one of that and i do not like the fact that i can not scale that monster up
21:20 < karasz> if my client grows again i am doomed
21:20 < morfoh> karasz: helll ... what customers do you support .... 8 CPU's ?
21:20 < karasz> so i thought that clustering is the solution to go
21:21 < karasz> yep
21:21 < karasz> aprox 300 users local and remote
21:21 < karasz> querying the hell out of it
21:22 < karasz> from IBM i heard that they advice 25 or max 30 users per cpu
21:23 < karasz> i am beyond that
21:23 < karasz> now
21:24 < karasz> i managed to get out the most from postgres
21:24 < karasz> but i am beyond with kernel, network and storage tunning
21:26 < karasz> started testing various file systems
21:26 < karasz> various RAIDs
21:26 < karasz> soft RAIDs and hard Raids also
21:27 < morfoh> karasz: why the hell you're test software RAID if the perfomance is lacking ?
21:27 < karasz> hard to find here a good RAID board
21:28 < karasz> and also client requests :(
21:28 < karasz> some wiz guy told him that soft RAID is the way to go
21:28 < mnemoc> soft RAID is the way to go _if_ you are poor
21:29 < karasz> i managed to turn him around though :)
21:29 < karasz> clients are akward
21:29 < karasz> and obsolete :)
21:29 < karasz> it doesn't boder them to pay 20000 euro for a server
21:30 < karasz> but they won't pay 200 for RAID support
21:30 < karasz> go figure
21:30 < _Ragnar_> *lol*
21:30 < _Ragnar_> crazy
21:30 < karasz> yep
21:30 < mnemoc> IT fault
21:31 < karasz> explain to them that soft raid needs cpu cycles that they should use for other stuff
21:31 < _Ragnar_> yea
21:31 < karasz> and they ask : why, i have 8 cpus....
21:31 < _Ragnar_> and ide-raid solutions are cheap ...
21:31 < karasz> it should be enough
21:31 < _Ragnar_> can save a lot on the drives
21:32 < karasz> but the same wiz guy sais:
21:32 < karasz> you need scsi
21:32 < karasz> that is the point when i go crazy...
21:32 < _Ragnar_> yes, for the connection from the ide-raid to the host
21:32 < _Ragnar_> but not for the hds themselves
21:33 < _Ragnar_> then each can have their own nice ata-100 port ...
21:33 < karasz> anyway
21:33 < karasz> returning to the subject
21:34 < karasz> biult that machine
21:34 < karasz> beforee that they had a dual processor
21:34 < karasz> i throw them an 8 xeon cpu machine
21:34 < karasz> and everything went slower :(
21:35 < karasz> found out the hard way abt Context Switch storms
21:35 < karasz> it seems that not allways bigger is better
21:36 < karasz> i got out 2 cpus and tweeked around postgres
21:36 < karasz> now everithing is ok
21:36 < karasz> but....
21:37 < karasz> for how long? how long until they add another 30 users....
21:39 < _Ragnar_> O_O
21:40 < _Ragnar_> how would it get slower? poor load balancing in the kernel?
21:42 < mnemoc> rxr: $config on src.$pkg.* thing would be usefull
21:42 < karasz> _Ragnar_: i guess it is a xeon related thing
21:42 < _Ragnar_> weird
21:42 < karasz> at least that' s what i read on pgsql lists
21:43 < karasz> context switch bug
21:43 < karasz> and they adviced opteron cpu's if i have to have more that 4
21:43 < _Ragnar_> O_O
21:43 < _Ragnar_> yea and maybe get dual core on those
21:44 < mnemoc> for x in $( cd config/; ls -1 ); do ./scripts/Create-ErrList -cfg $x -newdelete; done <--- i love sh scripting :)
21:45 < karasz> maybe...
21:46 < _Ragnar_> is postgresql multi-threaded?
21:46 < mnemoc> yes
21:46 < karasz> in a way it is
21:47 < mnemoc> ps uax | grep postgres | wc -l
21:47 < mnemoc> 49
21:47 < mnemoc> :)
21:47 < karasz> i know mnemoc
21:47 < _Ragnar_> O_O
21:48 < karasz> but all those processes are forked
21:48 < _Ragnar_> hmmm ;) okay now I see
21:48 < mnemoc> forks?? yuck
21:48 < _Ragnar_> optimally they should have 1 process per processor
21:48 < karasz> prom the initial posmaster proccess
21:48 < karasz> from the initial posmaster proccess
21:49 < karasz> the initial postmaster process if gets an inquiry give birth to a child postmaster to handle that
21:49 < _Ragnar_> ewwww ok
21:49 < mnemoc> sure, but forks instead of threads..... yuck
21:49 < _Ragnar_> yea
21:50 < karasz> mnemoc: from where did you get that 49?
21:50 < karasz> i mean how much load is there?
21:50 < mnemoc> quite light
21:51 < karasz> thought so
21:51 < karasz> my ps uax | grep postgres | wc -l is around 1800
21:52 < karasz> usualy it is smaller on other ocasions tops 2000
21:52 < karasz> but that's another story
21:52 < _Ragnar_> yea sounds like you need to go clustered
21:52 < _Ragnar_> is the db suitable for tha?
21:52 < _Ragnar_> that*
21:53 < _Ragnar_> you mainly drive queries, or have many writes?
21:53 < karasz> both
21:53 < _Ragnar_> what ratio?
21:53 < karasz> postgresql support for clustering was the first place to look
21:54 < karasz> i guess 60-40 for read queries
21:54 < mnemoc> http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/erserver/projdisplay.php
21:54 < karasz> no luck with clustering in postgres
21:54 < karasz> i know that
21:54 < karasz> but it is asyncron
21:54 < karasz> it's main purpose is replication
21:55 < mnemoc> http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php <--- this one looks better
21:55 < karasz> i need multimaster not master slave
21:55 < keinek> YES!!!
21:55 < keinek> i have t2 in my notebook!
21:55 < mnemoc> keinek: ?
21:55 < keinek> :D
21:55 < karasz> the only one that i found was pgcluster
21:56 < mnemoc> keinek: kudos! :)
21:56 < karasz> but right now it is not usable for production servers
21:56 < karasz> god work keinek
21:56 < karasz> good work keinek
21:56 < mnemoc> karasz: what people at #postgresql say about?
21:56 < karasz> not much
21:57 < karasz> pgcluster
21:57 < karasz> but i have my doubts about the ideea behind it
21:57 < keinek> yes... i will create a doc about that
21:57 < keinek> so... how create a grub disk for t2
21:57 < keinek> :)
21:57 < mnemoc> keinek: go for it
21:58 < mnemoc> karasz: master/slave is better than nothing anyway
21:58 < karasz> postgresql is especialy picki about messing with his files

22:04 < mnemoc> you will have to invest in improving your app to support master/slave
22:05 < karasz> ?
22:05 < karasz> i did not get that
22:05 < karasz> more speciffic please
22:06 < minto> karasz: optimizing the app not just the database.
22:06 < karasz> fine tuned all 900 queries
22:07 < karasz> i won't say that there is no place to more tunning in the app
22:08 < karasz> but i guess that SO and hardware tunning should ocurr also
22:09 < minto> Not just tuning. Maybe rewrite parts so master/slave will do.
22:10 < karasz> in master slave configuration the maste rdoes all the job, if it goes down the slave become master so the system has HA
22:11 < karasz> i wan't a setup in which not just the master works, but the job is paralelized between more computers
22:11 < mnemoc> uhm
22:12 < karasz> trying to find a way in which a query is distributed among multiple computers
22:12 < karasz> that's why i thought abt clustering
22:12 < karasz> by itself postgres can not do that
22:12 < karasz> a queryy wil run on one cpu allways
22:13 < karasz> even if it has more cpus
22:13 < minto> having a few masters in sync is possible? Then maybe load balancing will do.
22:13 < karasz> no multiple masters in sync
22:14 < karasz> just pgcluster can do that
22:14 < karasz> but pgcluster has some real stability issues

22:15 < karasz> i never heard of a pgcluster setup working in an production envirorment
22:17 < minto> I might be talking nonsense but I am just thinking out load. What is the minimal interval for replication? Is it possible with load balancing to have all writes go to one master and reads be devided across a few replications?
22:17 < minto> What is the size of the database?
22:17 < karasz> in rows or GB?
22:18 < karasz> minto: i will think abt that
22:18 < minto> in Gb
22:18 < karasz> 2
22:19 < karasz> load balancing as far as i know it is done only by pgpool
22:19 < minto> can the db be separated in logfiles and data.
22:19 < minto> logfile = log tables.
22:19 < karasz> it is
22:19 < karasz> ahm
22:19 < karasz> now i get it
22:20 < karasz> hmmm...
22:20 < karasz> what do you mean by log tables?
22:21 < minto> stuff for tracking an tracing
22:21 < minto> hardly ever read
22:21 < karasz> i have some of those
22:21 < karasz> in the same db
22:22 < karasz> they tend to get very big but i do not touch them
22:22 < karasz> so they do not influence speed
22:22 < karasz> on this matter postgres is well thought out
22:23 < minto> might be. But if the data most oftenly written/changes is actually quite small keeping it in memory might improve speed.
22:24 < karasz> it does
22:24 < karasz> i applied that workaround
22:24 < karasz> i separatted live data from archived data
22:24 < karasz> same db but different tables
22:25 < minto> hmm
22:26 < minto> I think I am out of options.
22:27 < jsaw> I hate shell scripting
22:27 < jsaw> re :)
22:28 < karasz> your thinking tends to be generaly valabil
22:30 < karasz> valabil=true
22:31 < minto> I gotta go now. sleep wel all.
22:31 < karasz> cu minto
22:31 < jsaw> cu minto
22:31 < morfoh> sleep well minto
22:42 < keinek> YES!!!
22:42 < keinek> i have fluxbox in my notebook!
22:42 < keinek> :D

22:53 < veki> hi
22:53 < jsaw> off to work, cu later
22:55 < mnemoc> hi veki
22:55 < mnemoc> cu jsaw
22:56 < morfoh> cu jsaw
22:56 < morfoh> hi veki
22:57 < veki> hi
22:58 < veki> how are you doing
22:59 < morfoh> veki: quite good and quite busy ... as mostly
22:59 < veki> I am building menmosyne optimized for my machine that I reserved for testing. At the same time I am trying to fix one X server, hm it says that /tmp/X0-lock cannot be accessed since X0-lock cannot be stated due to input/output error
22:59 < veki> hm, as you may guess I am tonight in my vampire mood. One more night without sleep :-)
23:01 < veki> btw, I am listening CD on my t2 machine. Thanks to minto again. Since I am composer I cannot live without music. I like silence too, but computer fans are not silence :-(
23:03 < veki> I will be back soon in, 10 minutes
23:29 < veki> back again,a and again starnge experience. I am it seems to me subscribed to strange experiences. Namely, it was not possible to remove that X0-lock file even with rm -f. However, fsck said that filesystem is clean. I wanted to install network card in order to save data. But, network card was resetting machine and that confused file system. However, fsck was activated and cleared that X0-lock issue this time, so th eproblme was solved. Hm, that means that fsck
