ask: Don't ask to ask a question, simply ask it, and if someone knows the answer, they'll respond. Please hang around for at least a full hour after asking a question, as not everybody constantly monitors the channel.

anyone used raspberry pi as a thin client?

zama, yandex search suggests http://cascadia.debian.net/~vagrant/rpi-ltsp-howto.txt as the first result
13:19
<zamba>
i was more thinking about the performance
13:19
if it in fact works
13:20* gvy would ask the same folks but theoretically should be fine as it's roughly PI..PII

zamba, I think it's OK as a thin client... but, thin clients in general suck, and as a *fat* client pi sucks as well... so imho it's not worth it :)

<alkisg>
vagrantc: about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/1352038, different /boot partition and ltsp-pnp,
16:02
I can't find any way to do it properly with the newer overlayfs system, other than running bind-mount *on top* of the cow system,
16:03* vagrantc waves from UTC+2
16:03
<vagrantc>
my network connection is questionable at best for the moment
16:03
<alkisg>
so for precaution, I can remount it ro
16:03
Wow, welcome :)
16:03
Jet lag etc?
16:03
<vagrantc>
yeah, a bit travel-weary
16:04
alkisg: what's different from how the aufs code handles it?
16:04
<alkisg>
I think in aufs you can tell it the mount path
16:05
In overlayfs you can't, so even multiple overlays can't solve that problem...
16:05
<vagrantc>
hrm.
16:06
<alkisg>
I sent a simplified question in the overlayfs mailing list: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems.union
16:06
Multiple lower dirs are only available in 4+ kernel, but one cannot specify the path there either
16:06
<vagrantc>
i thought i tested that with debian's overlayfs ... maybe it's ubuntuisms?
16:07
ah, that would make sense ... when i tested it was with upstream 4.x
16:07
<alkisg>
With the patched overlayfs, in previous ubuntu versions, it works working fine
16:07
Now I think Ubuntu's using the upstream kernel implementation...
16:07
<vagrantc>
with no custom changes?
16:08
<alkisg>
4.x doesn't work for me either
16:08
I didn't look at the sources
16:08* vagrantc will try again at some pont
16:08
<alkisg>
Is mounting the submounts RO on top of the overlay acceptable?
16:09
It would produce errors if someone tried to e.g. remove things from /boot or /home or whatever other submount he has...
16:09staffencasa has left IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@8-220.ptpg.oregonstate.edu, Read error: Connection reset by peer)
16:09
<alkisg>
But in 99% of the cases it should work fine
16:09
<vagrantc>
i guess it's the best workaround we have...
16:10
<alkisg>
We don't want to prefer aufs when it's available, do we?
16:10
<vagrantc>
so you can't mount a unionfs on top of a unionfs?
16:10
<alkisg>
I can, but it's worthless without submounts
16:10
<vagrantc>
s,unionfs,overlayfs,g
16:10
<ogra_>
union-inception ? :)
16:11
<alkisg>
And if I create a directory structure, and mount the overlay where I want it, e.g. mkdir /fakedir/home and then mount the home partition to /fakedir/home, and then try to use that in an overlay, I won't see the home submount at all
16:11* vagrantc smiles
16:12
<alkisg>
At least, I wasn't able to... maybe someone else needs to take a look there, but personally I could only find the RO bind-mounts workaround
16:13
Just for the logs, here's what I tried:
16:14
1) to create the desired structure with bind-mounts, and then use that as the lower dir. Overlayfs there discards the submounts, so it's unusable
16:14
2) to use multiple lowerdirs, as allowed in the 4+ kernel. They don't support specifying paths, so it's unusable.
16:15vmlintu has joined IRC (vmlintu!~vmlintu@a91-152-200-13.elisa-laajakaista.fi)
16:15
<alkisg>
3) to construct the desired structure incrementally, using overlayfs in each step. This again doesn't work because it doesn't provide for specifying a path.
16:16
and 4), like (3) but with mkdir/bind-mount before the overlayfs => again unusable because it's like (1)
16:16
So the only thing I got is (5), use only the lowerdir + overlayfs, and then bind-mount all the submounts as RO
16:16
<vagrantc>
i don't get what you can't mount multiple overlayfs on $mnt/, $mnt/home, $mnt/boot, etc.
16:17
<alkisg>
Are you talking about (3), i.e. overlayfs that has a lowerdir=another overlayfs?

I kinda mean... you pasted the last two lines, but there's probably more information above that -why- it failed
19:29
Would be more helpful if you had the whole output log, or at least more of the last lines.

Weird.
20:58
You could try running ltsp-update-image
20:58
And then ltsp-update-kernels
20:59
Oh wait
20:59
This is probably NFS right?
20:59
If so then skip the first.
