1) We can't take 175M away from podge; there's not that much space.
That said, there's still `enough' space fre.
2) I believe that we shouldn't use podge for a NFS server if we don't
need to. Anyone who doesn't understand why can come and talk to me
if they like.
3) we don't need to. There's more than enough space on quiche as it
is now; someone just has to organize it, which they'd have to do if
someone decided to put some of the linux stuff on NFS; the
differneece is that it would be *more* work to put some of the
linux stuff on NFS.
I think this accurately covers my opinion on the situation. As for
exporting NFS from quiche:
a) it's not kerberized
b) we tried it, and it lost *often*
c) when it doesn't Just Lose, it sucks - terribly performance.
I'm sure someone will address these issues sometime, but, frankly, I
can't see how they're even a little bit relevant to NetBSD.
what I asked was for people to work on cleaning up space. Discussion
about using Linux to NFS-export disk space from a machine that will be
running NetBSD (else, what's the point) wouldn't be relevant even if
it did make sense.
Once more, just so I'm clear:
There is disk space on quiche for Linux and NetBSD. What needs to
happen is that the existing linux stuff needs to be cleaned up.
Currently, we have:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda2 204800 168183 26377 86% /
/dev/sda4 283648 230766 38700 86% /usr/src
/dev/sda3 164864 84232 72389 54% /usr/src/athena
Talking to Greg, we can repartition things a little and get linux into
it's own 240M partition, leaving 400M free for NetBSSD install and
build space. (we might also wnat to `take the plunge' and install
Slackware 1.1.2 with the new libc at this point. We should talk about
this).
Do people think that these numbers are rasonable?
