02:53 < the_rainbow0> and the build target process hangs
02:53 < the_rainbow0> anyway to copy the pipe files?

18:57 < the_rainbow0> Hello rxr?
18:59 < rxr> yes ?
19:02 < the_rainbow0> how are you?
19:03 < rxr> fine thanks and you ?
19:04 < the_rainbow0> I'm fine thanks, t2 makes me nuts sometimes though
19:05 < the_rainbow0> I wanted to ask you about unionfs and kernel 2.6.29
19:05 < rxr> :-(
19:05 < the_rainbow0> I have a live ISO with the kernel 2.6.29
19:05 < rxr> Im not sure I test that yet as I said the other day
19:05 < rxr> I use to use aufs
19:05 < rxr> less code, less bugs
19:05 < the_rainbow0> does aufs replace unionfs?
19:06 < rxr> not all its esoteric features, but the one I use for live / overldays
19:06 < the_rainbow0> the problem is that without unionfs the liveiso flesystem is read-only
19:06 < rxr> thatis the commonly used feature set
19:06 < the_rainbow0> cool
19:06 < the_rainbow0> how can I tell the kerenl to use aufs instead of unionfs?
19:06 < the_rainbow0> kerenl*
19:07 < rxr> you only need ot have the aufs package in your build
19:07 < the_rainbow0> ah ! That's awesome
19:07 < rxr> and then rebuild the kernel (if you did not yet had) so that you get the third party aufs module
19:07 < the_rainbow0> I have the kernel alreadu built
19:07 < the_rainbow0> so I'm gonna rebuild it
19:07 < rxr> the t2 initrd scripts try to setup both, first aufs and if unavailable the older unionfs
19:07 < the_rainbow0> after I install authfs, right?
19:08 < rxr> aufs
19:08 < the_rainbow0> aufs sorry
19:08 < rxr> you only need to select the aufs package and rebuild the kernel
19:08 < rxr> you only need to rebuild the kernel due to the linux module setup
19:08 < rxr> just because aufs is a kernel _module_ you need ot have the kernel source around to compile the external module
19:08 < the_rainbow0> ahhh okay
19:09 < rxr> in t2 this is hooked up with this postlinux build script hooks
19:09 < the_rainbow0> great !
19:09 < the_rainbow0> thanks very much man
19:09 < rxr> so that the aufs module is build when your kernel is build and the 100% matching linux kernel source is around
19:09 < the_rainbow0> okay I see
19:09 < rxr> I hope aufs works better for you
19:09 < the_rainbow0> yes I hope that too
19:09 < rxr> btw. I said this some 24++ hours before -- maybe you missed that
19:10 < rxr> might have saved you some time already ...
19:10 < the_rainbow0> lol, yes man
19:10 < the_rainbow0> the internet isn't stable here
19:10 < the_rainbow0> I live in Algeria
19:10 < the_rainbow0> so I get disconnected often
19:11 < the_rainbow0> your help is pretty valuable
19:11 < rxr> ah - ok not 254h
19:11 < rxr> just some 10h
19:11 < rxr> felt longer :-)
19:11 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/irclogs/t2-2009-05-24.html
19:11 < rxr> the_rainbow0: youre welcome
19:12 < the_rainbow0> I should write a FAQ or something containing all the help I got from you on IRC
19:12 < the_rainbow0> I'm sure other people will face the problems I Faced
19:12 < rxr> I already have 0 free hours ... :-(
19:13 < the_rainbow0> yes I see :D
19:13 < the_rainbow0> good luck man
19:13 < rxr> though feel free to send us homepage ideas, FAQ, articles, etc.
19:13 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/faq/
19:13 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/zine/
19:14 < the_rainbow0> of course, it'd be a pleasure
19:14 < the_rainbow0> but I see that the T2 community isn't very active
19:14 < the_rainbow0> comparing to gentoo or other *nix communities
19:14 < rxr> the community is very active
19:14 < rxr> just not as bit yet
19:14 < rxr> thus also external side promotion is welcome
19:15 < rxr> blog posts, forum posts, links from other linux resources to T2, etc.
19:15 < the_rainbow0> yep
19:15 < rxr> s/bit/big/
19:15 < the_rainbow0> yes, every bit counts
19:16 < rxr> and also used in a different context compared to e.g. gentoo, that is many actual projects where custom linux (embedded) solutions are created
19:17 < the_rainbow0> yep right, T2 is pretty flexible
19:17 < the_rainbow0> and fits everything
19:19 < rxr> ok - I'm on a cellular link - gotta go - cu then
