| 06:05 | <alkisg> georgeneophytou: καλημέρα, did you see the patch for snaps?
| |
| 06:05 | They should work fine now
| |

| 06:25 | <georgeneophytou> morning alkis, you re speaking about issue #44?
| |
| 06:25 | you are*
| |
| 06:25 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 06:25 | I haven't uploaded a new release, but you should be able to patch that line and run ltsp initrd
| |
| 06:26 | <georgeneophytou> yes, I see it, and I will try it as soon as I get to the office today (about 12pm Cyprus time)
| |
| 06:26 | thanks for this alkis
| |
| 06:26 | <alkisg> np; thank you for the report
| |
| 06:43 | <georgeneophytou> alkis, we spoke before about moving home directories to /home2/ for example, is it correct that I should append "home2/*" to server/image/image.excludes? or should this go in a conf file somewhere? I did not find anything in the docs explaining this special use case
| |
| 06:44 | <alkisg> georgeneophytou: remind me, why /home2?
| |
| 06:45 | Btw, use "alkisg" so that my irc client makes a sound and I'm notified that someone is talking to me
| |
| 06:45 | I've an example in the man pages about /home/nfs, to have only some users in nfs
| |
| 06:46 | I liked /home/nfs better than /home2, so that they can be in the same but separate /home partition
| |
| 06:47 | <georgeneophytou> yes I will do that, so for the client's /home, I want to move their /home so they are being stored on a raid1 disk for redudancy, I don't want to mount the disk to /home, so I want to make a new path under /
| |
| 06:47 | or /home/nfs also works
| |
| 06:47 | what should be the best practice here?
| |
| 06:48 | ricotz has joined IRC (ricotz!~ricotz@ubuntu/member/ricotz) | |
| 06:48 | <alkisg> georgeneophytou: the users home path gets stored in their settings. E.g. a program may store /home/username/wallpaper.jpg in its settings.conf
| |
| 06:49 | So personally if I'm selecting a different directory than /home, I'd like to make sure it's persistent for years
| |
| 06:49 | If only a few server-side users exist, e.g. administrator, it might be wiser to move that one to /home2
| |
| 06:50 | In the /home/nfs example, I'm using symlinks from /home/username to /home/nfs/username for all users, so that the /home/username path stays the same
| |
| 06:50 | Whatever you decide, from the LTSP side it's just an FSTAB_x line, it's nothing special
| |
| 06:50 | <georgeneophytou> I have done so in the past, actually I know it's not best practice, but my current setup here which has worked for about 5 years, using LDAP and mounted home to /mnt/$GROUP/$USER on the client
| |
| 06:50 | never had any issues with that
| |
| 06:51 | <alkisg> Sure; you'd only had issues if you then decided to move from /mnt/$GROUP to e.g. /home2
| |
| 06:51 | Some programs wouldn't find the wallpaper.jpg etc then
| |
| 06:51 | <georgeneophytou> oh yeah I see what you mean
| |
| 06:51 | <alkisg> Also, FHS says that /mnt isn't an appropriate place, it should only be used for a single directory
| |
| 06:51 | So if you care to be FHS compliant, you should avoid that path
| |
| 06:51 | <georgeneophytou> actually I won't be migrating the users, I will gradually phase out the old system by only adding new users to the LTSP setup
| |
| 06:52 | yes, I will be avoiding now :)
| |
| 06:54 | you are absolutely right, I think it's best I do something like /home/$mounted-disk/$group/$user
| |
| 06:55 | <alkisg> /home2 is also perfectly fine
| |
| 06:55 | FHS doesn't tell you not to create additional top level directories
| |
| 06:55 | <georgeneophytou> that's also true!

| 08:23 | <highvoltage> imo FHS is important at the distro level, on your own machine you can do whatever you want if it makes sense (or even if it doesn't but then the consequences are on you)
| |
| 08:25 | <alkisg> Of course; but respecting the FHS might also help the next sysadmin. E.g. I usually `mount xx /mnt` without even checking if /mnt already has something; if /home was there, my LTSP users would get crashes just because I forgot about it...

| 13:53 | <highvoltage> alkisg: hey, have you ever seen a message like "error uncompressing initramfs image" while booting (that seems to happen with my ltsp.img file, which is also clearly uncompressed)
| |
| 13:54 | <alkisg> highvoltage: does the client have more than 256 mb ram?
| |
| 13:54 | <highvoltage> yep, it has 16GB
| |
| 13:55 | georgeneophytou has joined IRC (georgeneophytou!~georgeneo@217.27.33.213) | |
| 13:56 | <highvoltage> file says "/srv/tftp/ltsp/ltsp.img: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)"
| |
| 13:56 | I guess that's right
| |
| 14:07 | <alkisg> highvoltage: try lsinitramfs in both images
| |
| 14:07 | ltsp and normal.img
| |
| 14:11 | <highvoltage> I just noticed that that ltsp.img still boots fine in legacy mode (it booted fine in both uefi and legacy mode last week)
| |

| 14:18 | <highvoltage> I don't have anything called lsinitramfs though... will delve into it again tomorrow, gtg thanks anyway
