**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 05 02:59:57 2020 Nov 05 07:34:34 good morning Nov 05 09:45:12 anybody here experiences in building on remote storage? something like, over iscsi? Nov 05 10:25:43 ah dang, meant to go to #yocto. my bad. Nov 05 15:07:44 LetoThe2nd: should be asking those soft iron boys :-D Nov 05 15:08:18 XorA: hehe Nov 05 15:08:38 Ive done kernel builds on machines where storage is Ceph Nov 05 15:10:02 XorA: ceph is probably a bit beyond my budget. could've either go for a split box setup with iscsi, or one really beefy 128core-512G ram box Nov 05 15:10:41 LetoThe2nd: I doubt the protocol makes much difference, its slow to start, but once stuff is in the cache its like being on local storage on 10GigE network :-D Nov 05 15:11:53 we were just rolling out bare metal iSCSI->Ceph at Linaro when i left Nov 05 15:14:18 in the cache? you mean, once everything is pulled over the 10GE to the builder? Nov 05 15:19:14 yup Nov 05 15:20:41 hmmm... Nov 05 15:21:15 i'd say i have to file that under "local storage is better", just like all the other advice Nov 05 15:22:24 LetoThe2nd: it derives to "moar RAM", as a lot of things do IMO ;) Nov 05 15:23:12 smurray: seems like 128cores epyc + 512G RAM are i nthe budget range currently :) Nov 05 15:23:23 LetoThe2nd: lucky you ;) Nov 05 15:23:54 LetoThe2nd: you might even be able to run the new 4K version of Crysis on that Nov 05 15:24:05 charr Nov 05 15:28:58 so 504G of bcache for local storage and 8G ram for building then :-D Nov 05 15:31:52 am i crazy, or is bitbake demanding more ram per bitbake thread lately? Nov 05 15:32:07 i'm hitting oom condintions with a different ratio of cores to ram on hosts that used to be fine Nov 05 15:56:50 kergoth: both may be possible to your original statement :-D Nov 05 15:58:54 true :) Nov 05 16:04:36 kergoth: istr some mention of hash equivalence resulting in higher memory usage, but I might be wrong Nov 05 23:46:37 hmm, I am trying to understand how to control the generation of grub.cfg when the wic file specifies --source bootimg-efi --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi" Nov 05 23:46:54 I tried looking at the wic plugin, but I get the impression that its not really configurable? Nov 05 23:48:31 also not sure who puts the bzImage on that partition? on the root partition another /boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg is created which looks nothing like the first one Nov 05 23:48:42 I am confused to be honest :> Nov 05 23:49:26 what's the proper way of setting it up? should I do it manually and not use the grub-efi wic plugin? Nov 05 23:50:15 my goal would be to have a /grub partition that only holds grub.cfg and grubenv, then a/b root partitions; and have swupdate tune grubenv each time I flash the image; kernel should recide in each root part Nov 05 23:50:43 and so far I am not sure who does what behind the scenes... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 06 02:59:57 2020
