Apr 18 09:51:40 <greguu> Omegamoon: Hey!
Apr 18 09:52:02 <greguu> you still like to build a new distro for the Zaurus series ?
Apr 18 09:52:13 <Omegamoon> greguu: hi there :)
Apr 18 09:52:27 <greguu> hi
Apr 18 09:52:45 <greguu> I am just asking, because I got a new distro in the works..
Apr 18 09:52:49 <greguu> Voidlinux
Apr 18 09:53:22 <Omegamoon> a new distro for the Zaurus... to be honest I haven't touched any of my Zaurus devices for a long-long time
Apr 18 09:53:41 <greguu> I understand..
Apr 18 09:54:13 <Omegamoon> so you really use yours still then?
Apr 18 09:55:02 <greguu> sort of, I keep it updated with kernels and currently ArchLinuxARM.. I do this now for a few years
Apr 18 09:55:14 <greguu> there are still some users out there
Apr 18 09:55:21 <greguu> but it is getting less and less
Apr 18 09:56:09 <greguu> seeing you are OP for this channel, would you mind to pass on OP rights to me?
Apr 18 09:56:53 <greguu> ArchLinuxARM runs quite well, but is gettin bloated, systemd, too many dependecies. libc..
Apr 18 09:57:30 <greguu> VoidLinux is musl based and quite lean. I got a rootfs going but there is no binary feed yet..
Apr 18 09:58:33 <Omegamoon> keeping a distro up to date is a hell of a job, so... respect ;)
Apr 18 09:59:01 <greguu> well, arch is quite easy, as it still maintains a armv5tel feed
Apr 18 09:59:13 <greguu> its just the kernel that needs work
Apr 18 09:59:28 <greguu> for voidlinux, it is more work...
Apr 18 09:59:50 <greguu> but yes, I wonder why I still keep doing this :)
Apr 18 10:01:42 <greguu> but if you could pass on the OP rights in IRC to me, that would be great, as we are current stuck with outdated topic
Apr 18 10:01:59 <greguu> for some loong ime
Apr 18 10:02:00 <greguu> time
Apr 18 10:02:33 <Omegamoon> sure... let me see
Apr 18 10:03:21 <Omegamoon> there you have it :)
Apr 18 10:03:22 <greguu> thanks, did you make it permanent ?
Apr 18 10:07:23 <Omegamoon> isn't this permanent enough?
Apr 18 10:07:53 <greguu> Omegamoon : : /msg chanserv flags #kexecboot greguu +oO
Apr 18 10:08:02 <greguu> if you did this, ok
Apr 18 10:09:03 <Omegamoon> ah... you meant the auto-op as well...
Apr 18 10:09:12 <greguu> yes ,please
Apr 18 10:09:18 <greguu> as you are not here, most of the time
Apr 18 10:09:29 <greguu> :)
Apr 18 10:11:02 <Omegamoon> hmm... the auto-op doesn't seem to work
Apr 18 10:11:13 <greguu> permission issue ?
Apr 18 10:11:31 <Omegamoon> yes indeed
Apr 18 10:11:35 <Omegamoon> "You are not authorized to execute this command"
Apr 18 10:13:16 <greguu> Founder    : freenode-staff
Apr 18 10:13:30 <greguu> let me check with freenode-staff
Apr 18 10:13:39 <Omegamoon> okay
Apr 18 10:13:46 <Omegamoon> I'll be around for a while
Apr 18 10:15:19 <greguu> I did ask.. freenode-staff is invite only..
Apr 18 10:15:30 <greguu> so I asked in #freenode
Apr 18 10:34:58 <Omegamoon> greguu: you lost op rights now :(
Apr 18 10:35:44 <greguu> hm, i just emailed freenode staff\
Apr 18 10:38:26 <greguu> can you try to set me again ?
Apr 18 10:44:18 <greguu> hi ant_work
Apr 18 10:44:27 <ant_work> hello
Apr 18 10:44:51 <greguu> you may become op of this channel, i just emailed freenode staff
Apr 18 10:45:00 <ant_work> ah, ok, nm
Apr 18 10:45:01 <greguu> check you inbox
Apr 18 10:45:19 <ant_work> we already have Jay7 and now Omegamoon is back now and then
Apr 18 10:45:26 <ant_work> hi there
Apr 18 10:45:49 <greguu> yes, Jay7 is never here, and Omegamoon, just sometimes
Apr 18 10:45:50 <ant_work> anyway, we are about releasing kexecboot 0.7
Apr 18 10:45:59 <greguu> good news
Apr 18 10:46:17 <ant_work> I have finished last night kexec-klibc 2.0.17 which supposedly works on aarch64
Apr 18 10:46:41 <greguu> great, what bout athat odd ext4 issue ?
Apr 18 10:47:01 <ant_work> ah, this appears to be kernel problem (too old)
Apr 18 10:47:13 <ant_work> I'll send you Tony's answer
Apr 18 10:47:14 <greguu> no, it is a mkfs.ext4 issue
Apr 18 10:47:41 <greguu> i could reproduce with different versions of mkfs
Apr 18 10:47:51 <greguu> as in the email
Apr 18 10:48:23 <ant_work> sure, I have read the changelog
Apr 18 10:48:35 <ant_work> arge_dir and large ext attrs
Apr 18 10:49:08 <greguu> using same kernel version
Apr 18 10:49:13 <greguu> so not a kernel issue
Apr 18 10:49:31 <ant_work> are you sure all is compiled in the kernel?
Apr 18 10:49:39 <greguu> yes
Apr 18 10:50:26 <ant_work> I bet it is like the LFS problem described in my email
Apr 18 10:50:37 <greguu> ext4 filesystem created with verison >=e2fsprogs  1.44 can not be mounted
Apr 18 10:50:48 <greguu> no LFS
Apr 18 10:50:54 <ant_work> E2fsprogs now supports the large_dir (INCOMPAT_LARGEDIR) feature
Apr 18 10:51:03 <ant_work> E2fsprogs now supports the ea_inode (INCOMPAT_EA_INODE)
Apr 18 10:51:09 <ant_work> http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html#1.44.0
Apr 18 10:51:39 <ant_work> so, yes, the problem is e2fsprogs exactly ;)
Apr 18 10:52:12 <ant_work> are these new options switched on by default?
Apr 18 10:52:19 <greguu> seems to
Apr 18 10:52:21 <greguu> :)
Apr 18 10:52:31 <greguu> I could confim on my Arch
Apr 18 10:52:43 <greguu> just mkfs.ext4
Apr 18 10:52:56 <greguu> no extra parameters
Apr 18 10:56:52 <greguu> the kexec seems to have only basic ext3 support ? https://github.com/kexecboot/kexecboot/blob/master/src/fstype/ext3_fs.h
Apr 18 10:57:16 <greguu> maybe this change in e2fsprogs broke backward ext3
Apr 18 10:57:32 <greguu> ?
Apr 18 10:58:18 <ant_work> I am sure I did boot ext4
Apr 18 10:58:27 * greguu thinks ant_work should get op of this channel
Apr 18 10:58:33 <greguu> yes, we can boot ext4
Apr 18 10:58:43 <greguu> but not if created with  >=e2fsprogs  1.44
Apr 18 11:00:00 <greguu> one user could create a ext4 fs with e2fsprogs 1.38 or so, worked fine with kexecboot 0.6, and I can confirm this is the cas
Apr 18 11:00:44 <greguu> so some default settings in e2fsprogs seem to break the ext3 support
Apr 18 11:00:56 <greguu> in kexecboot 0.6
Apr 18 11:01:52 <ant_work> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/klibc/+bug/309762/comments/19
Apr 18 11:02:20 <ant_work> iirc we have up-to-date fstype.c
Apr 18 11:03:02 <greguu> hm...
Apr 18 11:03:33 <ant_work> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git/log/usr/kinit/fstype
Apr 18 11:03:45 <ant_work> seems ok since 1.5.11
Apr 18 11:04:52 <greguu> ant_work: can you not reproduce ?
Apr 18 11:05:11 <greguu> just create a new ext4 with >=e2fsprogs  1.44
Apr 18 11:05:18 <ant_work> sure
Apr 18 11:05:31 <ant_work> I was looking at ext3_fs.h and it just has
Apr 18 11:05:32 <ant_work> #define EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE       0x0002
Apr 18 11:06:06 <ant_work> I don't see the 2 news above
Apr 18 11:06:08 <greguu> but not large_dir
Apr 18 11:06:13 <greguu> yes, I see
Apr 18 11:06:23 <greguu> funny this is included by default
Apr 18 11:06:44 <greguu> as this would break many I would think
Apr 18 11:06:48 <ant_work> heh
Apr 18 11:07:53 <greguu> can we not just add these to ext3_fs.h ?
Apr 18 11:08:39 <greguu> and what other features kexecboot 0.7 will have ?
Apr 18 11:16:12 <greguu> ant_work: are you taking the op offer for this channel ? someone from freenode may emailed you
Apr 18 11:16:33 <greguu> the channel is owned by freenode-staff \
Apr 18 11:16:44 <greguu> so better someone takes ownership
Apr 18 11:24:47 <ant_work> yes, np, thanks
Apr 18 11:25:16 <ant_work> (not that we have bots or spammers to kick around here...)
Apr 18 12:46:05 <Omegamoon> ant_work / greguu: you are both channel op now
Apr 18 12:46:27 <ant_work> nice move, thanks
