Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

|
This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit my employer
Novell which is an amazing company, and also
Dell who in days of yore provided me with a
free laptop for Gnome development / conferences.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.

Up early, poked at some boot time issue - fsck being
run on every boot. Turns out if your kernel mounts root with different
data ordering flags to that in your fstab; then when you unmount the
partition you get:
EXT3-fs: cannot change data mode on remount which seems
to be code for - bad luck we didn't really unmount it; workaround add
rootflags=data=writeback to the kernel command line.
-
Discovered we spend 3 extra seconds at boot, before hitting
the initrd if we have a resume=/dev/sda1 type kernel command-line;
magic - hopefully Greg can fix it. Worked insanely late.
In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Novell, The
Lithuanian Gov't or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's also important to
realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences,
bio.
or fun.
