add a cron job to lockbox01
by Seth Vidal 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

I'd like +1's to add a cron job to lockbox01. The cron job will generate /etc/func/groups based on the virthost and their func minions. it is this script, dropped into /etc/cron.hourly http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=skvidal/public_git/scripts.git;a=blob;f=fu… This means we will be able to do things like: func-command --host=(a)virthost10.phx2.fedoraproject.org "some command for only those minions on virthost10" and it runs only on those - nice for rebooting boxes, for example. From this I am planning on working on specific timed and staged reboot commands, among others. low risk to anything to do this. thanks -sv

Meeting time change
by Kevin Fenzi 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Greetings. I'd like to move the weekly infrastructure meetings out an hour... from 19UTC to 20UTC. There's another meeting that I and several other folks have just before the current meeting time, and a bit more buffer would be nice for when that meeting runs over. Any objections? If not, we will just move an hour to 20:00UTC this week. kevin

Freeze break request: update boot.fedoraproject.org for pxe install workaround for f17
by Kevin Fenzi 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

To work around bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785815 we need to pass a root= option to pxe installs for now. This fixes things so boot.fedoraproject.org can do installs. Without it you get a 'root= not specified' panic. kevin -- diff --git a/bfo/pxelinux.cfg/fedora_prerelease.conf b/bfo/pxelinux.cfg/fedora_prerelease.conf index 5ed7801..65d1db2 100644 --- a/bfo/pxelinux.cfg/fedora_prerelease.conf +++ b/bfo/pxelinux.cfg/fedora_prerelease.conf @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ label Fedora-17-Branched-i386 MENU LABEL Fedora-17-Branched-i386 kernel http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/i386/os/i… initrd http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/i386/os/i… + append root=live:http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17-Alpha.RC4/Fedora/i38… TEXT HELP Selecting this will boot the Fedora 17 Branched i386 installer.

moving fedorapeople.org
by Seth Vidal 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi, Discussion today over a few issues with fedorapeople.org and what we need to do with it. Goals: - be able to backup fedorapeople.org much much faster - expand the amount of diskspace available on it - offer faster upload to fedorapeople.org from places where most of our userbase are. - offer 'project' space for groups to have unquota'd space available from fedorapeople.org for various non-hosted projects: examples: test spins from anaconda team abrt test-suite results Two projects today both needed more space - but we were getting hung up b/c of how the quota'ing is laid out with the existing fedorapeople.org. I suggested just adding space and making it a new disk but Kevin mentioned the concerns about upload speed to fedorapeople.org and the issue of backing it up quickly. After a bit of looking around ibiblio03.fedoraproject.org was seen as a likely good place to put a new fedorapeople.org. If we put it there we could give it: 1. more ram 2. more processors 3. considerably more space 4. back it up faster (backup02 is also on ibiblio03 so backing it up should be very fast) 5. being on i2 and in a fast-colo at ibiblio would give us better upload rates for many many of our users. So the plan would be: - setup a new people## box over at ibiblio03 - setup two disks - the normal /srv layout we have now - a new disk for project space that is outside of the quota'd area. Kevin suggested possibly replicating this people## over to the old location using rsync so, in the event of unplanned calamity, we could continue to offer the service. Concerns? thoughts? -sv

IRC Bouncer
by Will Sterling 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

I'm traveling this week and working via a tethered phone. Freenode seems to have blocked the IP range that my phone is using so I can not get into #fedora-admin or #Fedora-metting. Does anyone know of a public IRC bouncer that I can use? Regards, wsterling
