Devops Needs Sushi
Fosdem 2010 was my 10th fosdem Edition (including the first OSDEM)
As every year Fosdem suffered even more from it’s own success.
On Friday evening ther was the obligatory Beer event… however as people need to eat to .. the Devops crowd fled the scene
I had made reservations for a 20 something group and with the CentOS crowd joining us (as there was some overlap anyhow) we were 25 when we arrived in the restaurant .
I know the biggest part of my fanclub already booked tickets for my upcoming presentations, but the other 2 might want to check their calendars to see if they aren’t missing out on the good stuff :)
Next Sunday I`ll giving a shortish overview of MySQL HA alternatives in the MySQL and Friends devroom at Fosdem.
March will bring me to Manchester again for the UKUUG Spring conference where I`ll be giving a longer version of that presentation with a strong focus on integrating with PaceMaker, and automating the whole boostrap procedure of a HA setup.
When you pull out a disk from your Raid setup it shows a warning in syslog
1. Jan 27 10:18:22 EL860 kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: WARNING (0x04:0x0019): Drive
2. removed:port=1.
3. Jan 27 10:18:22 EL860 kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: ERROR (0x04:0x0002): Degraded
4. unit:unit=0, port=1.
However if no one is looking at syslog that won’t really be helpfull.
3Ware provides a tool from their site called tw_cli which can be used to manage
the raid setup from the command line.
Fresh laptop arrived, obviously the first thing to do is to install the latest fedora. then do a full yum update.
However that failed with the following failed dependency\
1. mesa-libGL-7.7-2.fc12.i686 from updates has depsolving problems
2. --> Missing Dependency: libdrm >= 2.4.17-1 is needed by package mesa-libGL-7.7-2.fc12.i686 (updates)
3. Error: Missing Dependency: libdrm >= 2.4.17-1 is needed by package mesa-libGL-7.7-2.fc12.i686 (updates)
4. You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
5. You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
6. package-cleanup --dupes
7. rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Now I don’t really use all the fancy compiz stuff so for now I can just solve it by running
Fosdem is coming up again .. It’s going to be the 10th edition already So it’s going to be 2 days and nights of fun, tech and geek stuff
Lenz already posted the announcement , but allow me to recapitulate.
The MySQL & Friends meetup is on saturday evening , we’ll meet around 1900 in front of the under the big tree in front of the AW building…
As with the Devops Meetup you can once again vote for your preferred food
The Devops crowd does not have it’s own devroom at Fosdem but will be meeting on Friday evening for food in a location close to the BeerEvent.
If you want to join us please let us know by voting on your favourite choice of Food. Using this doodle.
There’s already about 15 people that are voting for the food selection ….
Plan is to meet outside of the BeerEvent around 2000 and
then move to a preferred food location.
So when you setup an aggregator there’s this one thing you miss from a regular planet …the list of blogs with their individual Feeds.
I wanted to use this for planet.loadays.org again and realized I don’t know where I got this snippet from or if I wrote it myselve or whatever .. but I do realize that unless I document it here I won’t be able to point other people to it again :) So just create a block like this one :
So a couple of weeks ago I blogged about DNS Knife late last year I ran into an even better tool.
Enter IntoDNS
Apparently IntoDNS.com finds more issues like the zone file listing different nameservers from the ones you defined …etc..
So change your bookmarks, browse that page :)
Dear Drupal Community,
If any of you are interrested in getting a packaged version of Drupal 6 into Fedora’s EPEL repository (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) and therefore usable in RHEL and Centos,
please comment on the Bug I filed to get it’s introduction started.
Any pitfalls, benefits etc are welcome ..
thnx in advance !
After all the politics involved in getting a package in a distro, or not it was time for a nice small and clean package of a fresh and promising open source project. Djagios was an easy choice.
I’ve uploade the rpm and Source RPM to repo.inuits.be and getting the SPEC file in the upstream repo was 10 minutes work.
Next step is to get it into Fedora , and EPEL :)
