[09:57] <th> like what fs it has?
[09:57] <th> size and usage?
[09:57] <blindcoder> mount and df
[09:57] <th> df reads mtab only
[09:57] <th> mtab is generated from /proc/mounts only

[09:58] <th> want to have confirmation for some things
[09:58] <blindcoder> well, why don't you just tell me what you want to do? :)
[09:59] <th> like that it's really the initramfs
[09:59] <th> and i want to know the size and stuff
[09:59] <blindcoder> ah
[09:59] <blindcoder> well, you can get the fstype with disktypre
[09:59] <th> just confirmations
[09:59] <blindcoder> well, you can get the fstype with disktypee
[09:59] <th> no real problem
[09:59] <blindcoder> disktype

[10:00] <blindcoder> I've never actually used /dev/root

[10:03] <th> i've even no /dev populated.

[10:04] <blindcoder> okay
[10:04] <blindcoder> so
[10:04] <th> if it was.. it would be a ramdev

[10:04] <blindcoder> you

[10:04] <th> it's all related to my question in $topic ;)
[10:05] <blindcoder> you know
[10:05] <blindcoder> you could just have a look at the mkinitrdnew.sh I submitted to TRUNK
[10:05] <blindcoder> and soon there will be a patch making that one the default mkinitrd
[10:05] <th> initrd is somewhat obsolete
[10:06] <blindcoder> o_O
[10:06] <blindcoder> that's the first time I hear that
[10:08] <th> but you propably saw the config option in kernel-conf for source of initramfs cpio
[10:08] <blindcoder> hmm
[10:08] <blindcoder> don't think so
[10:08] <blindcoder> let me get out my laptop
[10:09] <th> sorry to scare you with all this ;)
[10:09] <blindcoder> I mean, isn't cpio in itself a bit obsolete?
[10:10] <th> hehe
[10:10] <th> it's only the archive
[10:10] <th> i bet it suited better than tar... dont know why
[10:12] <blindcoder> I see the initramfl source file(s) option
[10:12] <blindcoder> but nothing indicating it superseding initrd

[10:16] <blindcoder> sooo
[10:17] <blindcoder> they want to do more crap like moving devfs into userspace?
[10:17] <th> yepp
[10:17] <blindcoder> why do I suddenly feel that linux is doomed?
[10:17] <th> i cant second that POV
[10:18] <th> there is some stuff in kernel that should be userspace
[10:18] <th> you're even more flexible then
[10:19] <blindcoder> if they do it as good as udev, then it is
[10:19] <th> ;>
[10:19] <th> could i smell some irony here?
[10:20] <blindcoder> unless your sense of smell is totally gone, you ca
[10:20] <blindcoder> n
[10:22] <th> you like bloated kernel?
[10:22] <blindcoder> I like stuff that works
[10:22] <blindcoder> and I'm not sure if I can say that about udev
[10:22] <th> i bet you can
[10:23] <th> how many distros are on udev only by now?
[10:23] <blindcoder> does it finally give anything else but exit(0); on error?
[10:24] <th> you are free to use anything else in userspace for what udev does.
[10:25] <blindcoder> heh, where's the alternative?
[10:25] <th> it's up to you
[10:25] <th> you can extract a .tar on your /dev
[10:25] <th> or use bash to do everything
[10:26] <blindcoder> don't tempt me :)

[10:28] <th> talking of udevd or udevstart?
[10:28] <blindcoder> both
[10:28] <blindcoder> well
[10:28] <blindcoder> yeah, both
[10:29] <blindcoder> udevd should at least log a message that no sysfs was found
[10:29] <blindcoder> it took me the better part of an hour to figure that out
[10:29] <netrunner> tomorrow at that time I'll descend to mailand
[10:29] <th>         dbg("sysfs_open_class_device_path failed");

[10:33] <blindcoder> guess I should update udev
[10:33] <blindcoder> I'm running 63 here
[10:33] <th> well i'm only flying over the code...
[10:34] <th> perhaps you still need to set some debug level somewhere
[10:35] <blindcoder> well, I did in the config file IIRC

[16:19] <blindcoder> they ask for feedback on four things
[16:19] <blindcoder> they mention these four things in the mail

[16:19] <blindcoder> and only this point!
[16:20] <blindcoder> four maps in one file with around 10 words each!

[20:43] <mnemoc> yes
[20:43] <mnemoc> i get that message on bitblee
[20:43] <mnemoc> no problem on gimpnet or oftc
[20:44] <mnemoc> can i disable keepnick on that 'network'?
[20:45] <blindcoder> no, just define a chatnet for it in ~/.irssi/config
[20:55] <mnemoc> oh
[20:55] <mnemoc> but /server say:
[20:55] <mnemoc> [14:56:58] im.everdot.org       6667  BitlBee    autoconnect
[20:55] <mnemoc> so it has a chatnet, or not?
[20:57] <blindcoder> hmm
[20:57] <blindcoder> actually, it should
[20:58] <blindcoder> but I get those messages sometimes and they've been harmless but annoying so far
[20:59] <mnemoc> very annoying some times :(
[20:59] <blindcoder> you can just comment that line in the source
[21:00] <blindcoder> it doesn't really mean anything
