| 06:34.38 | rhowe | meh |
| 06:34.41 | morsing | moo |
| 06:34.43 | rhowe | far, far too early for a Saturday |
| 06:35.00 | morsing | I fell asleep at 7pm yesterday :-) |
| 06:36.40 | rhowe | heh |
| 06:36.49 | rhowe | I fell asleep at something silly like 2am |
| 06:36.51 | rhowe | or 3 |
| 06:44.56 | morsing | Is NBD better than NFS? |
| 06:45.22 | rhowe | Different purposes |
| 06:45.49 | rhowe | NFS allows (semi-)transparent access to a filesystem on another machine |
| 06:46.03 | rhowe | NBD allows you to access a block device on another machine over the network |
| 06:46.28 | rhowe | so you could do something akin to mount $remotebox:/dev/hda6 /mnt |
| 06:46.50 | rhowe | Or swapon $remotebox:/dev/hdb1 |
| 06:47.01 | rhowe | The syntax is made up there - it's not how it works |
| 06:47.17 | rhowe | But that's the kind of thing it lets you do |
| 06:47.22 | morsing | But if I create a filesystem on the NBD - is that efficient? |
| 06:47.42 | rhowe | Probably isn't that bad |
| 06:47.49 | rhowe | Not sure if it'd be as efficient as NFS though |
| 06:47.59 | morsing | Okay |
| 06:48.04 | rhowe | Try and see |
| 06:48.33 | rhowe | With 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 |
| 06:55.03 | morsing | Mounting 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 |
| 06:55.10 | morsing | Quote from Linux Journal |
| 07:06.46 | rhowe | ah |
| 07:07.09 | rhowe | Word from Leeds is that they told him he should probably be out on the 20th |
| 07:07.17 | rhowe | anyway, gotta dash to forest hill now |

| 10:50.54 | pawel | hi. |
| 10:51.07 | pawel | any news from Leeds? |
| 10:52.21 | evangineer | only what rhowe said about Leeds being out of hospital on the 20th. |
| 10:53.05 | pawel | evangineer: but is going on? why is he in the hospital? |
| 10:53.30 | evangineer | pancreatitis apparently |

| 11:15.33 | jason_ukfsn | afternoon all |
| 11:20.28 | wethrin | Morning |
| 11:20.58 | jason_ukfsn | not here it isn't wethrin ;) |
| 11:21.11 | jason_ukfsn | Have you heard anything on how Richard is? |
| 11:21.19 | wethrin | It is in all real timezones |
| 11:21.29 | wethrin | I haven't. Other than he's getting better. |
| 11:21.46 | jason_ukfsn | so which tz are you in now? |
| 11:22.00 | wethrin | BST. But that's silly. |
| 11:22.04 | wethrin | GMT is the only real timezone. |
| 11:22.12 | wethrin | And it's morning in GMT |
| 11:25.29 | evangineer | jason_ukfsn, latest news is that Leeds will probably be out of hospital on the 20th |
| 11:25.54 | evangineer | said news was relayed via rhowe |
| 11:26.49 | jason_ukfsn | well I'm glad to hear he's getting better. I hope he makes a full recovery. |
| 11:26.58 | evangineer | so do we all |
| 11:27.02 | wethrin | Beer? |
| 11:27.45 | evangineer | yapc beer most probably |
| 11:28.12 | jason_ukfsn | I'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 |
| 11:28.56 | jason_ukfsn | My local tesco has started selling proper Frambios (raspberry beer). |
| 11:32.13 | wethrin | Ahh. |
| 11:32.23 | wethrin | Mort Subite? |
| 11:34.18 | jason_ukfsn | I 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 |
| 11:34.28 | wethrin | Ahh. Okay. |
| 11:34.33 | wethrin | Did it have a cork in the top? |
| 11:34.43 | jason_ukfsn | yes |
| 11:34.57 | jason_ukfsn | well it did for a very short period of time :) |
| 12:20.18 | highbury | can anybody other than leeds fix the wiki site? |
| 12:26.29 | jason_ukfsn | I don't think anyone else has access to his server atm |
| 12:27.29 | jason_ukfsn | I could temporarily change the redirect to point to a page stating that the wiki is currently unavailable. |
