netbsd-dev: I want to take the 1G half height disk nathanw has been
using top test installs for charon. Please let me know if there is a
problem with this, but it's fairly important that charon get more disk
IMHO. I belive that even if there isn't another free 1G in the
office, there is a 4G Mycrapolis disk that came off of AFS that we
don't trust for server use, but should be fine for install testing.
Anyhow, please let me know if this is a problem, and if not, could
someone please let me know exactly wehre it is?
So, for those who don't know, charon filled its disk again this week.
I just freed 7M from a discuss meeting I periodically expunge, and it
looks like someone else freed up some space too. Right now there are
21M free, but the 13M afs cache is empty. Anyhow, I'm sick and tired
of charon filling its disk. I am planning on scheduling an outage for
"After the Bad Taste concert" this Saturday night. Anyone who thinks
this is a bad idea should say so, but the objections should be good
ones. I'm planning on announcing the outage late Thursday night, so
object quickly if you're going to.
I plan to make the disk one large partition mounted as /u1. I will
create a /u1/vice/cache and link /u0/var/vice/cacke to it, set
AFSADJUST to false, and set the cache size to 40M. If people really
think there should be a seperate cache partition they should say so,
you can probably convince me if you have a reasonable argument. (I'm
going with 1 partition, because it is the current situation, more
flexable and slightly easier to set up, but I'm not really strongly
attached to the idea.) I also plan to make a /u1/printer and link
/u0/var/spool/printer to it. that should allow people to print large
files to meadow. I do not have any plans to move anything else to the
disk at this time, but there should be plenty of free space to move
discuss meetings and other things, should it be necessary.
Is there anything else that should get done to charon while I'm
rebooting it?
For those who are wondering, I discussed this with a couple of
charon-manitainers in the office a few months ago, and people seemed
to think it was reasonable. I just didn't have time to schedule the
outage, and then I forgot about it.
Note to self: update /etc/backups and /usr/local/backup/db/exclude
