| Draconx|Laptop | Rhynri, that's pretty vague... when deciding how to lay out my filesystems I take into account the machine's purpose, its users, whether available storage is going to increase in the future, what most of the disk space is likely to be used for... |
| blackace | trelly: join #gentoo-ops when you're done being an ass. |
| purplepenguins | I prefer making separate partitions for most of the directories |
| rhynri | Draconx|Laptop : ah, it's got 1.2 tb of additional space - i'll just stick to using my default i guess. |
| Po0ky | anybody knows if parted can operate on a file too? or how I can trick it :) |
| purplepenguins | why would you want to partition a file |
| rhynri | img? |
| Po0ky | resize a partition in a file |
| moreon | Po0ky: use losetup to map the file to a block device. |
| Po0ky | oh nm I'll try to remember the tool moreon, but I realised, there is no partition in my file, so I just can resize the filesystem without too much trouble |
| moreon | Although I don't know why you'd make multiple partitions in a file. Po0ky: yeah, was just thinking that :P |
| Po0ky | me too, I'm just a little slow in the morning ;) |
| moreon | Po0ky: I would think you'd have to increase the size of the file first, and then grow the partition to fill the rest of the file. |
| Po0ky | don't know, it's a sparse file, It was 0 mb when I first created it and has grown since I got the filesystem on it. So maybe I can skip that step, I'll have to look into it :) |
| Draconx|Laptop | the steps for sparse files are the same. |
| Po0ky | I'll delay it for a bit 700M 502M 199M 72% /usr/portage, still have 200mb worth of tiny files to go |
| purplepenguins | man, I need to stop hitting ctrl+alt+backspace |
| mortideus | ? |
| hardcampa | ? |
| mortideus | purplepenguins, you like to kill X alot? |
| moreon | purplepenguins: you can turn that feature off in your xorg.conf :) Although that could have bad consequences if you need it :P |
| purplepenguins | I hit it on accident I thought about turning it off but I decided not to, in case I needed it |
| mortideus | purplepenguins, dumb question probably, but how do you manage that? |
| purplepenguins | I don't know so many commands require ctrl I was reaching for something and hit backspace |
| Po0ky | AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727), anybody a clue |
| purplepenguins | aiglx? is that the compositing thing? you might want to try the #gentoo-xeffects |
| mortideus | Po0ky, if your on an ATI card, you might want to use GLX instead |
| Draconx|Laptop | mortideus, you mean XGL |
| mortideus | Draconx|Laptop, yes :) thank you |
| gnilor | btw there is a new ati driver again, wonder what problems this one will give me :) |
