[opensuse-factory] Btrfs under heavy write makes system sluggish-er than ext
by Claudio Freire 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

So, the subject says it all. I've been testing a huge database on 13.1 RC1, well actually factory, with a btrfs partition (not the system partition, just a dedicated partition), and under heavy write it chokes the system much more than ext4 does. It also seems to have lower thoughput on what should be mostly parallel sequential access (ie: multiple sequential threads), but I'll have to perform more accurate benchmarks to be sure. It may be an fsync issue. It's not a critical issue, of course, but I'm in a position to assist with tests, benchmarks and diagnostics... so... what do I need to do to provide useful info here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi Shawn, Great. Thanks a lot. As discussed on IRC, I will transfer today the "ownership" of DRACUT to you on OBS and bugzilla. Only package remaining is Plymouth and I guess that people rather see it disappear than to help out.

[opensuse-factory] openqa kernel testing
by Matwey Kornilov 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hello, All. Will we be able to add some kernel performance tests? Especially, filesystem and io schedulers ones. Last year I had an issue when my system having been upgraded to 12.3 was becoming unusable due to deadlock in reiserfs quota routines within 5 minutes after boot. Majority of processes just were in d state. Would be great to have an automatic tool to avoid similar issues in futute. -- Best regards!

[opensuse-factory] Online update messages to be improved
by Karl Eichwalder 06 Feb '14

It is not the first time that I see such a message while applying online updates: ┌──────────────────────────────────────── │ These updates require a system reboot to function properly: │ │ openSUSE-2014-97. │ │ Reboot the system as soon as possible. │ │ [OK] └──────────────────────────────────────── What can we do to improve those messages? The user will not know what openSUSE-2014-97 is about. BTW, I searched for openSUSE-2014-97 (with DDG), but nothing helpful appears on the result page. -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) N��r��y隊Z)z{.��r�+�맲��r��z�^�ˬz��N�(�֜��^� ޭ隊Z)z{.��r�+��0��Ǩ�

[opensuse-factory] automake 1.14
by Jan Engelhardt 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Hey everyone. I prepared automake-1.14.1 and submitted it off to devel:tools:building. (SR 221011). As I had been working with automake-1.14 before on Cygwin, I can't say I noticed real obvious breakages. That might have to do with the new maintenance model in automake[1] which reads like it will be not so rough waters as it used to be. [1] http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13578 Now I am awaiting the staging :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

It is the whole day, from several locations (with actual Internet connection in different countries). I wonder if someone observed the same. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Incorrect desktop-data-openSUSE package
by Kyrill Detinov 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hello. The desktop-data-openSUSE package contains a wrong desktop file and [probably] icons. I've filed a bug¹ assigned to Will Stephenson, as he is displayed as a maintainer and a bugowner for X11:common:Factory/desktop-data-openSUSE. I'm not sure if Will is in active maintainership state for Factory at the moment. If he isn't, can anybody take care of the bugreport? Thanks. ¹ https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861742 -- WBR Kyrill

[opensuse-factory] Release without a Release Manager
by Marcus Moeller 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi all, I have read the current news on the openSUSE team and the plans to step back from the development. In general, I don't see a big problem here, but one thing really makes me a bit anxious: As Coolo is also part of the team, is it even possible to release a new version of openSUSE without him? From what I know for now, nobody except Coolo knows all the stuff that is necessary for releng. One option I could see is to setup a Release Team with members from the Community and maybe someone from SUSE and do a hackweek together with Coolo to instruct the team. So Coolo, if you read this, do you thing that could be an option? Would you offer your help to hand over the tasks to such a team? Greets Marcus

[opensuse-factory] new package: spice-vdagent
by Stefan Seyfried 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi, since SPICE is totally non-spicy without the guest agent, I'd like to get spice-vdagent into Factory. It's the thing that makes linux guests in KVM behave similar like Windows guests or linux guests inside Virtualbox: resize the window and the guest resizes, too. It is said to also make copy'n'paste work, but I could not get this going for me. I'm looking for the right devel project. "Virtualization" is obviously unmaintained and thus I'm opting for Base:System (simply because I can accept my SR there by myself). Any better suggestions? -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
