Comments:
<0> i got my hair done short. very short
<1> I look like.. she was:"ey go home now.. I finish your cut later!"
<0> shiny short :)
<2> hey yoz, Lion-O
<3> OxD
<1> ey travis.
<1> this bitch ****ed up my hair.
<2> yoz: ...half finished? wtf?
<0> OxD: just testing my program's winduhs installer
<2> killall-9: ah
<4> mmmm undernet; what split do you want to ride today?
<0> stuffed the gtk+ installer in, grown by 3.5MB
<2> for gtk, thats pretty light, i guess
<2> i *like* gtk, but i won't say its light weight
<0> without various runtimes the installer fits esily in a floppy
<0> but adding gtk, openh323, mysql, postgres...
<0> uncompressed: 1.6MB program 14.4MB runtimes - i hate having dependencies
<1> OxD: that's what I look like ;)
<2> yoz: hehe that ****s dude. why didn't she finish?
<5> is it right to say that every partition be it logical , extended or primary will have a superblock
<6> yoz: that sounds, uhm, odd
<1> K_F: 8)
<6> you gf or something?
<1> OxD: she did.. ;)
<6> your*
<6> "lets grab a soda before finishing up..."
<5> is it right to say that every partition be it logical , extended or primary will have a superblock
<6> "lets grab some vodka before finishing up"
<6> nishant: not really
<1> K_F: nah.. same like always. dunno wtf.
<6> hehe
<1> =P
<7> this works very nicely indeed
<5> nope i talk of simple harddisks
<7> even came with dvi->vga adapter
<6> the fx5500?
<7> when I'm richer, I'll buy a couple of decent dvi capable screen
<7> K_F: yep
<6> neato
<7> runs two displays very nicely
<6> good
<0> nishant: nope. the superblock is something related to the filesystem on that device/partition
<0> nishant: a zeroed out disk will have no superblock
<6> killall-9: sounds like he's oblivious to that :)
<0> on most filesystems the first block or sector is special
<0> except *nixes that scatter copies of them to places less likely to be harmed
<2> usually first block/sector and last
<6> and some backup superblocks..
<2> K_F: that's the one on the last sector
<8> errr... "watch" football
<6> OxD: usually some in between as well
<5> k....i never thought with that perspective
<2> K_F: i thought it was just the two
<6> 131072
<6> is common for a 4k blocks
<6> before it was on every 8192 blocks
<6> but that was for smaller HDDs with 1k blocks
<6> (talking about ext anyways)
<5> ok so if i talk of any other FS it will have a different structure?
<2> K_F: hm.
<6> of course different filesystems have different structures
<2> nishant: ...yeah, usually. unless you're talking ext2/3
<2> since 3 is just 2 with journaling bolted on
<6> OxD: 131072 has saved me more than once :)
<5> k....so let google on jfs reiserfs etc
<6> well, actually more an acquaintance than myself
<2> K_F: never run into it
<6> OxD: I've had more HDDs malfunctioning on me than I'd like
<6> thankfully I have fairly good backup routines
<2> K_F: i've had two drives in a raid5 die at the same time on me
<1> isn't libmysql_drv.so part of libmysqlclient* ?
<2> so i know the feeling
<6> OxD: ouch
<2> yeah. first week on a job too. it was awesome
<6> I've had both the laptop HDD malfunctioning as well as the primary server HDD (ended up with a new server)
<6> and one on the fileserver
<2> oohhh i forgot about that
<9> K_F: brand?
<6> and the fileserver of a friend of mine..
<6> bjorn_: all over the market
<2> i had my laptop disk die, which was fine because i had the whole thing backed up with disk-to-disk. but then my backup server died before i could restore
<2> i almost cried
<6> bjorn_: the server was a seagate, the laptop a hitachi or something
<6> maxtor is generally a pain
<2> thankfully i discovered it wasn't the disk that died, just the motherboard
<6> overheats but usually comes back to life after some rest
<6> I've settled for getting Western Digital and Seagate
<6> the seagate that died had done its job
<6> ordinary consumer disk, max uptime on the server was 497 days
<2> i've been big on samsung lately. very quiet, fairly quick, and they tend to last
<9> maxtor doesn't have a good rumour do they?
<1> bjorn_: no.
<6> lets just say, on a PII 400MHz that died this year that is a rather good deal
<1> bjorn_: not anymore.
<2> bjorn_: "reputation" :)
<6> bjorn_: hell no
<1> now as you changed nick it can get only better!
<10> mm
<3> maxtor has the best rumours.. Like the one mentioning use in an UFO :)
<2> heh
<1> 8)
<6> hehe
<2> Lion-O: your away message lies!
<3> oh?
<11> yeah
<1> btw.. mr. test ;)
<3> there, I changed it ;)
<3> m000
<3> well, this evening its asiamania evening :) /me got hold of both 'Azumi' and 'Azumi 2' DVD's at the rental store
<11> ooh today is saturday
<6> yeah, it was a good one
<11> wonder if there's anything decent on tv
<2> its saturday. thats impossible
<2> except maybe a baseball game
<5> is it right to say that to install linux on a FS its support shld be enabled in the linux kernel but the task of reading a FS in general by a linux kernel is done by VFS
<1> OxD: not in europe ;)
<0> nishant: doing homework?
<2> yoz: touche`
<11> OxD, I wish someone could beam me to hawaii
<1> oh that'd be nice.. I could escape from exams this way.
<5> nope just got confused
<6> nishant: tldp.org <- start reading
<5> i am just inquisitive about this
<5> K_F:no man i have read a lot help me get a clear picture
<2> hm. i gotta go to staples for my new desk
<2> yet laziness is getting the better of me
<6> nishant: if you're still confused, obviously not enough.
<5> please i am confused that if we have VFS then why linux needs special support during its installtion it shld simply get installed on any FS it can read write
<5> i mean kind of loop back technology can be used
<5> then why complications?
<5> K_F:Probably i am geting the purpose of VFS wrong...is it?
<2> nishant: how is vfs supposed to read a filesystem it doesn't know?
<6> DaveHowe: ditto
<5> OxD:i mean to say that theoritically linux should install on all FS it can read or write
<2> yeah, though i shot myself in the foot with my /boot partition size
<2> apparently xen stuff is magnormous
<12> nishant: indeed. however, it can install on all fs it can load *at boot time before loading any probable modules*
<2> nishant: that is true
<2> but the installer's support and boot loader support come into account here
<5> ok...
<12> the easiest way to do that is to make the /boot partition as easy to read as possible - which is fine; its not like you write to it more than once per year
<13> anyone here have tried the new SuSe? I have to choose Suse or Dapper for my parents desktop.
