10:33.58gregjhow can i list ppl who have mounted anything no my nfs server ?
10:35.44wethrinnfsstat?
10:37.53antiphaseUnexport it and see who complains
10:40.37adhocantiphase: =)
10:40.48adhocgregj: whats in your /etc/export
10:40.59wethrinadhoc: that's an awfully personal question!
10:41.03adhocgregj: that'd give you a head start as to what machines are allowed
10:41.11adhocwethrin: perhaps
10:41.28adhocgregj: then if you have access to the hosts that are mounting your NFS then you can have a look
10:41.46adhocgregj: using lsof for anything that is in the path of the mounted file syste
10:42.00adhocsystem, and also get the users that are running this processes
10:42.05adhoceasy
10:45.58bilarhthis is stupid, t here must be an easier way :-)
10:46.17antiphaseIt's more difficult if you use anonuid, or all_squash
10:50.17bilarhwhat about /var/lib/nfs/rmtab
10:52.15bilarhhttp://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/nfs-files.html

13:20.08JosefAssadmoin
13:21.25JosefAssadSo, I'm shortlisted for a pretty damn good gig in London, and I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and fly in for the interview...
13:22.17adhocas opposed to bus, train, walk ?
13:28.50JosefAssadwell, if you would be so kind as to look up what bus goes from Cairo to London, then I'd consider that option :)
13:32.01clive-hYou could drive
13:33.40wethrinclive-h: It'd involve taking a train or a boat, though
13:33.40JosefAssadI hate 747s, clive-h. Give me stick shift any day.
13:33.40wethrinJosefAssad: They'll probably stick you in a 767 or 777
13:33.40wethrinOr Airbus something
13:33.40clive-hThough it'd take a  while by road and train
13:33.40JosefAssadYeah, and I don'þ have that long. Interview's on 7th of June
13:33.44clive-hheh
13:34.00JosefAssadI knew a consultant who did work similar to what I do now, but focused at that time in Mongolia.
13:34.07clive-h747-800 aren't too bad
13:34.15JosefAssadHe tells stories of plugging holes in tupolevs with plastic coca cola bottles
13:37.17JosefAssadit'ß a good GBP 400 or so...
13:37.43wethrinCan you claim expenses?
13:37.47clive-hI'd imagine it wouldn't be cheap
13:38.08JosefAssadnot on travel from outside the british isles
13:38.34JosefAssadbut, this is a grade 10D at the BBC. Not washing dishes :)
13:40.05wethrinDoing what at the Beeb?
13:40.12wethrinAnd is it the Beeb real, or BBC Tech?
13:40.22JosefAssadLead Technologist
13:40.56wethrinMmm.....Pb
13:41.22clive-hbbc tech is Siemens SBS now (still in Maidenhead)
13:41.31JosefAssadMaidenhead?
13:41.42JosefAssadIs that good or bad?
13:41.46wethrinMeh
13:41.55wethrinThere's some nice bits of Maidenhead. Mostly outside.
13:41.55clive-hAbout 25 miles west of London
13:42.03haliGood'ish, Maidenhead is quite well connected fiber wise
13:42.14JosefAssadBased in the Media Village, seems
13:42.18JosefAssadBBC Tech though, yes
13:43.01clive-hSiemens have 3 Data Centres there
13:43.16clive-hI contracted there for 3 months in 2005
13:43.31JosefAssadMind, this gig is more strategic than engineering (which is nice, since that is what I actually do)
13:44.07clive-hGood luck
13:44.51JosefAssadStill not sure whether to fly in or take it on the phone... blah
13:45.17wethrinIs this your first, second, third, etc. interview?
13:45.39JosefAssadfinal, it seems.
13:46.16JosefAssadIf it wasn't, I wouldn't consider going though, that is certain.
13:46.53wethrinIf it's about £400 for flights, I'd take it on the phone. They ought to understand
13:47.02wethrinIf you can get flights for < £200, I'd go
13:47.20JosefAssadfood for thought. Thanks for the opinion wethrin
13:47.59wethrinBut then, I'm a poor stoodent. Your expense threshold might be different :)
13:49.22JosefAssadYes, that is part of what is getting to me :) I can splash, just not entirely certain I should
13:49.35wethrinDepends how likely you are of getting the job :)
13:49.47JosefAssadWhich reminds me, I need to do some work finding a repalcement for myself at Grameen eventually
13:49.57JosefAssadyes, that'ß the rub right there wethrin
13:50.15JosefAssadmy 's' key sticks a bit. I look at what I type and feel like Smeagol
13:51.22wethrin:)
13:54.39JosefAssadand its private sector. Wouldn't mind a bit of the good old-time professionalism after  couple of years with non-profits
13:54.52wethrinBBC Tech? Professional?
13:55.19JosefAssadwethrin: take my job and let'ß talk in a year :)
13:55.26wethrinokay :)
13:56.03JosefAssadheh

15:02.44wethrinhar!
15:06.35JosefAssadheh
15:07.16JosefAssadI had a boss whose kid was the most terrible thing
15:08.34JosefAssadIt was an open source consultancy I had helped co-found. The boy was 15 and smart as hell, just the kind I like nurturing. Linux on his ipod and from-zero-to-properly-configured-nagios in one night, but he was seriously flaky. Standing behind you watching what you're doing, always opening up geeky and offtopc discussions, etc.
15:10.33JosefAssadoh fun! Grocery shopping with the fiancee.
15:12.39wethrinha
