greetings
<lanefu>
have you melted your board yet
<Tenkawa>
nope
<Tenkawa>
:)
<Tenkawa>
i am trying to figure out though... is there a programmatic way already written to transfer back from external root to micosd or am I going to have to get creative?
<Tenkawa>
it was a neat experiment but not getting "that" much perf gain to use up all of my m.2 drive
<Tenkawa>
so I was just going to use a microsd
<lanefu>
currently bootloader on microsd that then pivots to root on usb?
<Tenkawa>
yep
<Tenkawa>
no
<Tenkawa>
bootloader on internal emmc (nano pi)
<Tenkawa>
no microsd in unit at all currently
<lanefu>
hmm well probalby no scripted path for that
<lanefu>
the nand-sata-install.sh script is meant to work in the other direction
<lanefu>
but some fiddling iwth /boot/boot.cmd|boot.scr and fstab should get you there
<Tenkawa>
ok I cando that
<Tenkawa>
going to use the internal for boot and swap
<lanefu>
bleh
<lanefu>
use the zram-cfg stuff for swap and avoid disk swap all together
<Tenkawa>
nowhere near enough ram in t his thing
<Tenkawa>
kyber and low swappiness should mitigate that anyway
<lanefu>
well i suppose if you can weight it vs the zram

it mounted it ro so i missed something
<Tenkawa>
but that can be fixed at least
<Tenkawa>
ok thats fixed
<Tenkawa>
success

@rogerioff88 (Rogério Figueiredo): @Poddingue @orangepixunlong @IloveRockchip @armbian Why you need 2gb? (27s ago)
<Tenkawa>
my response to that 2gb post would be... only 2gb???
<Tenkawa>
muhaahaa
<Tenkawa>
then again I'm typing from a 12 core laptop
<Tenkawa>
I'm thinking about getting one of those odroid n2 units
<Tenkawa>
cheers all. think I'm going to try to get some rest

hey guys..
<abananabread>
i'm getting really confused...
<abananabread>
there are so many different SBCs.. and OS..
<abananabread>
and then the softwares...
<abananabread>
sorry..
<abananabread>
i want to know if i install Armbian on the Nanopi m4v2. Will I be able to install OpenMediaVault on top of that to manage my NAS?
<abananabread>
I also want to install many things, like Docker for other applications.. but i'm not sure if that will work out..

Dear Armbian gurus, I just check content of /boot in a complete Armbian image. There are multiple common variable between armbianEnv.txt and boot.cmd. Can I insert new value to override those value in boot.cmd?
<sbbg>
for example, may I assign value of ${fdtfile} in boot.cmd?

yes you can add fdtfile=test.dtb

Hi, IgorPec, so I just add a new like like fdtfile=test.dtb into /boot/armbianEnv.txt, it will be reference in /boot/boot.cmd, right?
<IgorPec>
yes
<IgorPec>
note that some boot loader might have this variable set differently, like fdt_file
<IgorPec>
i know its not always fdtfile
<IgorPec>
in case you want to manipulated kernel boot paramaters, use extraargs=
<sbbg>
Thank you, IgorPec. I just want to try out new dtb for my pineh64 model b. I will keep your suggestion in mind.

redentor has joined #armbian
<redentor>
the filesystm /var/log is full
<Tenkawa>
redentor: whats taking up the space?
<Tenkawa>
do a ls -l
<Tenkawa>
also du -smx *
<redentor>
@Tenkawa, 48
<Tenkawa>
you must have a ram /var
<Tenkawa>
/var/log rather
<Tenkawa>
if you cd /var/log
<Tenkawa>
ls -lSr
<Tenkawa>
what is the last file?
<redentor>
Tenkawa, the directoy "lost+found'
<Tenkawa>
thats a directory
<Tenkawa>
I need to know the last one with numbers out beside it
<Tenkawa>
they should get larger
<Tenkawa>
as they go towards the bottom of the list
<redentor>
i do df -h "/dev/zram0 49M 48M 0 100% /var/log"

the defaults are fine for a desktop, but a bit tight if you have something chatty like docker
<lanefu>
the worst when cleaning up logs is when an open file handle is keeping the blocks from beign released
<Tenkawa>
I moved to a xfs root with the kyber scheduler too and wow what a difference
<lanefu>
whats kyber
<Tenkawa>
its one of the newer kernel schedulers
<lanefu>
is it a patch, or a kernel config?
<Tenkawa>
just config
<Tenkawa>
its not enabled in a lot of the default setups
<Tenkawa>
but its really nice on multicore setups
<Tenkawa>
and with my headless mulitcore server
<Tenkawa>
couple that with the io benefits of xfs
<lanefu>
i often use btrfs root because it plays well with docker
<Tenkawa>
I still have not messed with docker

I guess I am so use to vmware, virtualbox,lxc,qemu, kvm, i havent thought about it
<lanefu>
i defintely use it a lot, but have mixed feelings
<lanefu>
once something is super productionalized sometimes it feels easier to just go back to VMs
<lanefu>
yeah docker is a wrapper of cgroups, namespaces, and then some wrappers for managing storage adn network
<Tenkawa>
ahh
<lanefu>
there's also podman, which is a daemonless competitor
<Tenkawa>
ewww
<Tenkawa>
I hate cgroup
<lanefu>
you hate their functionality, or having to confiigure them
<Tenkawa>
cgroup feels like everything that couldve went wrong with chroot
<Tenkawa>
the configuration
<lanefu>
well probably a + for docker, podman etc
<Tenkawa>
and there's too much that can go wrong on the "controller" side vs a virtual machine being much more standalone
<Tenkawa>
granted an environment like esx isnt the same.. it is much more similar
<Tenkawa>
but I dont have to deal with bare metal much anymore

hmm, if I want to compile a kernel, how would I do that?
<R0b0t1`>
I'm not finding my device (nanopi duo) anywhere in the main tree
<R0b0t1`>
I also can't see a defconfig anywhere in the armbian repo
<sarnold>
with the caveat that I know nothing about arm.. if you have a working distro kernel, you can use 'make localmodconfig' in the kernel sources to turn the working .config to something tuned for your machine
<lanefu>
just uses differnt device tree files at boot
