10:18.25mnemochi, noob question :( Using bb 1.13.2's mount I get "mount: invalid number 'sys'" when remounting ro a previously mounting resource that currently looks like: 192.168.5.15:/srv/nfs/kioskos /rootfs nfs rw,vers=3,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,hard,intr,nolock,proto=tcp,timeo=70,retrans=3,sec=sys,addr=192.168.5.15 0 0
10:18.37mnemocany hint is highly appreciated

13:31.58tsjsiebCan I use an usb-stick (formatted as ext3) for the root file system, with Linux kernel (wich is in NAND flash)?
13:32.18MonMothatsjsieb: with some caveats, yes
13:32.32MonMothathere are some tricks you have to pull to use a USB device for /
13:32.37MonMothabut they're the same as on, say, a PC
13:34.58tsjsiebAre they? On a pc, you can run a bootloader like grub or Lilo form the usb-stick (as happens in the linux-live-usb sticks) but that way it's not going to work on my embedded device
13:35.19MonMothawell, I'm not talking about boot issues
13:36.01MonMothaissue is that USB devices don't immediately appear "ready", so you have to delay the mounting of /
13:36.17MonMothayou can used an initrd/initramfs, or I think there is now an option to delay that activity for just this purpose
13:37.14tsjsiebo.k. thnx, that makes it a little bit more clear for me :) (as I'm still quite new to linux)
13:39.04tsjsiebI know that I can pass a rootdelay option to the kernel als cmd argument, is that the place where I have to look possibly?
13:41.18MonMothasounds right
13:41.26MonMothajust tell it to wait long enough for /dev/sdaX to appear
13:41.30MonMothathen it should be able to mount that as /
13:44.29tsjsiebI tried with 10 seconds now, and that's not enough. Is there a way to check when /dev/sda1 appears?
13:44.51MonMothasure, but you'd have to use an initrd or initramfs
13:45.00MonMothayou can either use udev or just monitor /sys/block
13:46.49tsjsiebo.k. thank you very much, I will take a look for these options
13:48.29tsjsieband Is there a way to be shure that the usb-stick is realy /dev/sda1, or can I assume it is, as it is the only usb device attached (there 's only NAND flash besides on the device, but these ar in /dev/mtd*)
13:50.20MonMothano way to assume, but it should always show up as /dev/sda unless there are other SCSI/storage devices

22:33.40wmatTimRiker: feel free to apt-get dist-upgrade
22:34.20wmatTimRiker: I trust your ability to fix things over my own ;)
22:34.41TimRikerk. I'll likely get to that tonight. I did and upgrade just now (upgraded libc, openssl, mysql-server, etc)
22:35.20TimRikerI'll make sure there's a backup before an dist-upgrade as the openvz stuff might cause some issue. I think it'll be just fine, but it's not something I've tested.
22:35.25wmatmediawiki is the key, as the newer versions have some useful features
22:35.53TimRikerI don't know if it'll do the 1.12 upgrade as part of it. I expect it will.
22:36.14wmatit should, as 1.7 is stock debian
22:36.19TimRikernods
22:36.43TimRikerI'll join here before I start.
22:37.20wmatgreat, thx. I'll be in and out as I occasionallyrun off to parent
