06:34.43rhowefar, far too early for a Saturday
06:35.00morsingI fell asleep at 7pm yesterday :-)
06:36.40rhoweheh
06:36.49rhoweI fell asleep at something silly like 2am
06:36.51rhoweor 3
06:44.56morsingIs NBD better than NFS?
06:45.22rhoweDifferent purposes
06:45.49rhoweNFS allows (semi-)transparent access to a filesystem on another machine
06:46.03rhoweNBD allows you to access a block device on another machine over the network
06:46.28rhoweso you could do something akin to mount $remotebox:/dev/hda6 /mnt
06:46.50rhoweOr swapon $remotebox:/dev/hdb1
06:47.01rhoweThe syntax is made up there - it's not how it works
06:47.17rhoweBut that's the kind of thing it lets you do
06:47.22morsingBut if I create a filesystem on the NBD - is that efficient?
06:47.42rhoweProbably isn't that bad
06:47.49rhoweNot sure if it'd be as efficient as NFS though
06:47.59morsingOkay
06:48.04rhoweTry and see
06:48.33rhoweWith NFS you can use the filesystem on multiple machines. With NBD, unless you used something like GFS as your filesystem, you could only mount the filesystem on one machine
06:55.03morsingMounting a native Linux EXT2 file system over an NBD gives faster transfer rates than mounting an NFS (Network File System) from the same remote machine

11:20.58jason_ukfsnnot here it isn't wethrin ;)
11:21.11jason_ukfsnHave you heard anything on how Richard is?
11:21.19wethrinIt is in all real timezones
11:21.29wethrinI haven't. Other than he's getting better.
11:21.46jason_ukfsnso which tz are you in now?
11:22.00wethrinBST. But that's silly.
11:22.04wethrinGMT is the only real timezone.
11:22.12wethrinAnd it's morning in GMT
11:25.29evangineerjason_ukfsn, latest news is that Leeds will probably be out of hospital on the 20th
11:25.54evangineersaid news was relayed via rhowe
11:26.49jason_ukfsnwell I'm glad to hear he's getting better. I hope he makes a full recovery.
11:26.58evangineerso do we all
11:27.02wethrinBeer?
11:27.45evangineeryapc beer most probably
11:28.12jason_ukfsnI'll be in Belfast for YAPC::EU and aside from giving a lightening talk and ensuring the 'net connectivity is all working I'm taking lots of beer time
11:28.56jason_ukfsnMy local tesco has started selling proper Frambios (raspberry beer).
11:32.13wethrinAhh.
11:32.23wethrinMort Subite?
11:34.18jason_ukfsnI don't have an empty to hand - the wife recycled the last lot of bottles yesterday. I don't remember the brand - just that it's Belgian and nice
11:34.28wethrinAhh. Okay.
11:34.33wethrinDid it have a cork in the top?
11:34.43jason_ukfsnyes
11:34.57jason_ukfsnwell it did for a very short period of time :)
12:20.18highburycan anybody other than leeds fix the wiki site?
12:26.29jason_ukfsnI don't think anyone else has access to his server atm
12:27.29jason_ukfsnI could temporarily change the redirect to point to a page stating that the wiki is currently unavailable.
