Meanwhile I had a few equipment failures and had to rebuild some drives and used my main ARM system for testing the evolving F17 for ARM which has finally gone GA. ( Along with some disruption from a flood which fortunately missed the XOs). I think the approach overall that I have been taking is a bit different from yours as my long term goal is to support the 2 current ARM archs that Fedora currently is built for and trying a few other new things to make the components used to be more similar to what is upstream. This is possibly a more experimental approach than you are using. Part of my plan is to set up my own ARM based Koji system. I have enough ARM devices to do this but need to order one more to make it more viable.

Re: [Server-devel] [OLPC School Server] Comment: First Learnings about ARM
George, The Dreamplug may not be the best device to use at the moment as I learnt 2 days ago that the board design has changed very recently and it will be a while until the required code changes are made in the mainline kernel code ( and the mainline u-boot code). I have emailed the maintainer of the dreamplug code about the board changes. If you have one of the new boards a kernel built from mainline kernel source will not work. Others have tried and failed. Do not follow the trimslice directions as they are for a completely different SOC and board design and it stores uboot differently. What works for tegra based boards will not work for kirkwood based boards. I have on my to do list for the Fedora ARM project to create instructions for setting up uboot for kirkwood based systems. ( I have several different kirkwood systems in my ARM collection). I had been waiting for one of the olpc-sf members to return from overseas so I could inspect there dreamplug and run a few tests. Now the new dreamplug board design adds a new wrinkle to this. Base the offset off what was used in the Dreamplugs default environment as shipped to you. If it does not boot successfully it could be board incompatibility. I have not been able to find either a Marvell or GlobalScale repository with code for the new design. I assume it will be published at some point in the future.

[Server-devel] XS on ARM update.
Martin, I have been meaning to email you an update about XS on ARM for a while. I had to take a hiatus from what I was doing with it, but started back on it a while back. I had been experimenting with getting XS components running on ARM. That was with Fedora 13 for ARM. With Fedora 13 for ARM ejabberd behaved nicely. I was in the process of moving to Fedora 15 but then Fedora 15 stayed in perpetual alpha and I wanted to be on a release that was well supported. Then Fedora 17 for ARM koji is building much faster than expected so I am in the process of moving over to Fedora 17. Note that currently Puppet relies on some hard coded intel specific code. I would like to chat with you some time about this as I want to discuss what is essential for the XS and which is the correct git branches etc to pull from for some olpc specific bits. .

Re: [Server-devel] XS-0.7 plans -- your thoughts please...
Martin, I was about to email you regarding what is the latest XS version as I am about to get back to attempting to port the XS to ARM so your email is timely to me. I had put that on hold for quite a while as it turned out Fedora ARM 11/12 lacked a number of items required by the XS. The Fedora 13 ARM port is intended to be a complete a port as possible and should have the bits required as a base for the XS. After the Fedora 13 ARM port is released it is my understanding that the Fedora 14 ARM port will be started. I hope you keep the Fedora RPMs as RHEL6/CentOS6 do not support ARM. I have been experimenting with ARM devices as servers with low power consumption and I want to prove the viability of using them as an XS. The systems I have are based on the Marvell Kirkwood, (not quite as fancy as the Armada 610). If successful this would be an asset that uses little electricity and would help with deployments in locations where electricity and server room cooling is expensive. In my review of the make files for XS-0.6 I have noticed that the architecture is hardcoded in a number of places. It would be nice if these were parameterized. The other area that seems a bit strange is how flat the git is for the XS components. They all seem to be at the top level. It would be nice if they hung off a top level XS project directory with a master make file that passed arch type, etc., to the component make files. This would make it simpler to clone all the bits. If you want to read more about the Fedora ARM project here are several links:- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/status In closing I would like to say, I do not think most administrators would care about RHEL6 or CentOS.

Re: [Server-devel] logging performance
Sameer, Have you looked at RRDtool ? It is my understanding it can log at 1 second intervals. You can find it at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/index.en.html along with tutorials. Some good example scripts using RRDtool can be found at http:// computingplugs.com/index.php/SheevaPlug_Real_time_Statistics#Scripts Scroll up on that page to see live graphical output from the scripts. rihowa...@gmail.com linux - the best things in life are free On Jul 15, 2009, at 12:23 PM, Sameer Verma wrote: Any suggestions on how to log data on RAM and CPU usage on the XS? I've looked at mem.py and top variants, but I want something that logs at x intervals to a file that I can pull into a spreadsheet. I have munin running on the xs, but it is not fine-grained enough to show variations, say every 10 seconds or so.

Re: [Server-devel] ARM based XS ?
Martin, According to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM there is Fedora 8 and Fedora 10 port for ARM. The OpenRD comes with Fedora 8. I mentioned this at the OLPC-SF meeting this morning and we are adding it to our projects list. I have 1 or 2 people at the meeting volunteer to help me with this. As a result of the positive responses I am going to order the ARM machine to experiment with. I am not sure when the hardware will actually ship once I place the order. A shipping delay will give me time to read some of the documentation on building Fedora for ARM. What size hard drive do you recommend for the XS? thanks /Robert H On May 16, 2009, at 2:29 AM, Martin Langhoff wrote: On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 7:09 AM, rihowa...@gmail.com wrote: Looks like the Marvell OpenRd Client is finally shipping. http:// www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-21-openrd-client.aspx I know Fedora now has a ARM branch. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ Architectures/ARMHow difficult would it to be to spin an XS build for ARM? Depending on your answer I may order a Marvell OpenRd Client to experiment with. Hmmm! Merits some research - Does Fedora run well on it? Support it formally? - Does Fedora 9 support it? If the answer to the questions above is yes, then there are 2 packages you'll want to recompile. Get the ARM machine, install a vanilla F9 on it, rebuild the srpms, and then we can build the installer :-) cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
