20:05:33 penick Ugh ceph.
20:05:54 melwitt yeah, you might be thinking of backing instance ephemeral storage on cinder (ceph?). boot from volume is creating a volume in cinder from an image and attaching it to an instance, and it (the volume) can live on after the instance is deleted
20:05:54 mriedem fine fine
20:05:56 mriedem use scaleio!
20:06:26 mriedem melwitt: or not, delete_on_termination ftw
20:06:28 dansmith 8GB swap for all!
20:06:32 penick So Nova would interact with something like scaleio directly, and not go through cinder?
20:06:39 melwitt mriedem: yep, can do that too
20:07:04 dansmith penick: this is the thing we were talking about -- nova duplicates a fraction of cinder for the drivers we like
20:07:23 dansmith penick: so you can back your instances on ceph, or local, but not much else
20:07:32 dansmith because we like writing things twice and maintaining them once
20:07:52 cdent can I quote you on that dansmith? that's very quotable
20:07:58 penick But..why not let Cinder do the word of managing volumes?
20:08:06 dansmith cdent: you may
20:08:07 dansmith penick: yeah, that
20:08:12 dansmith has been my suggestion,
20:08:15 dansmith but it's a ton of work
20:08:30 dansmith and openstack being already dead according to the press, we don't have enough time to finish that before we're done
20:08:46 penick Pfft. Dead. Hah
20:08:58 dansmith regardless, I think we all agree that that's how it should work
20:09:03 dansmith but it doesn't today
20:09:12 dansmith unless you BFV everything, which is also broken for lots of things
20:09:20 dansmith and, nova devs will stop talking to you if you move to that
20:10:09 penick So if I add a feature my users need, in the only way that it works right now, you'll kick me out of nova hogworts?
20:10:19 mriedem penick: i'm much more interested in your doing cells v2 from trunk than doing BFV
20:10:34 dansmith penick: don't worry, you'll hate yourself soon after adopting it anyway
20:11:55 penick mriedem: i'm much more interested in cellsv2 as well. But to quote a great poet "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding"
20:12:06 penick Not sure who said that. Might have been Socrates.
20:12:14 dansmith pretty sure it was Waters :P
20:12:23 mriedem dude,
20:12:26 penick :P
20:12:28 mriedem you don't want to eat boiled meat anyway right?
20:12:51 mriedem where is mdbooth when i need to joke about terrible british meat
20:13:35 penick Correct, but if I picked the things I -wanted- to do, over what the business needs, i'd have a really kickass 10 node openstack cluster running on trunk. But I wouldn't be moving the whole company over to it
20:23:48 mriedem well riddle me this, where is accessIPv4 actually used anywhere in nova anymore?!
20:24:51 mriedem i need an onboarding session
20:24:57 cburgess mriedem Thats a dangerous thing to say to me. :P
20:25:09 mriedem cburgess: whatever i said, it was probably a day ago,
20:25:10 mriedem so remind me
20:25:19 cburgess mriedem Getting enough cloud providers to ask for volume type.
20:25:26 mriedem oh right, page 45
20:25:34 cburgess page 45?
20:25:58 mriedem page 45 of the nova core dungeon master's guide states: "once you get enough people asking for the same feature, regardless of policy, it must be accepted"
20:26:06 cburgess lol
20:26:09 penick Pretty sure you just made that up
20:26:15 cburgess I didn't know such a guide exists. Must be for PTLs only.
20:26:23 mriedem "nova core dungeon master's guide"
20:26:34 cburgess Oh core
20:26:35 cburgess My bad..
20:26:43 mriedem penick: melwitt's is keeping your dining table steady atm
20:26:45 dansmith I haven't seen this guide
20:26:49 cburgess mriedem You do realize that has to become a think now right?
20:27:01 penick We have a dining table?
20:27:04 cburgess melwitt is doing what now?
20:27:11 dansmith isn't that melwitt's workstation now?
20:27:15 melwitt what is happening
20:27:28 mriedem i know what's not happening
20:27:43 mriedem ... https://review.openstack.org/#/c/446239/
20:27:44 mriedem :)
20:28:00 melwitt it's happening, at the subaru dealership even!
20:28:05 mriedem oh snap
20:28:18 melwitt about to upload the quotas bomb again
20:28:25 penick her workstation locality depends on three factors. The season, is the cat being annoying, or is she at the dealership
20:28:28 mriedem page 62 has a subaru coupon coincidentally
20:28:31 mriedem on free granola bar
20:28:33 mriedem *one
20:28:45 penick free granola bar, that's a sweet deal
20:28:53 melwitt I ate a free Cliff bar here earlier
20:28:58 mriedem haha
20:29:26 mriedem i always feel great when some joke i make which might be offensive turns out to be actual fact
20:29:36 melwitt lol, right?
20:29:48 penick man that nova dungeon masters guide is handy
20:29:57 mriedem why do you think we don't add more cores?
20:30:01 mriedem limited supply
20:30:03 mriedem of guides
20:32:02 penick Not cheap to print. also the "Worlds best nova core" mugs don't exactly grow on trees. Those legbreakers at Cafepress charge a fortune
20:32:12 melwitt merge conflicts in local delete code ... grrrr
20:32:24 mriedem melwitt: blame dansmith
20:32:53 melwitt >:| angry eyebrows
20:33:18 dansmith go ahead
20:33:26 dansmith I'll flip this table and leave
20:34:13 melwitt the workstation table might be hard to flip. but could be toppled over
20:34:49 penick Cool cores don't watch tables flip. They just walk away. (-_- )ノ⌒┫ ┻ ┣
20:35:18 dansmith well, I'm not going to flip _this_ table since it has all my monitors and laptop on, but I will go find a suitable table with minimal collateral damage and flip that mofo
20:35:35 melwitt :D
20:36:07 melwitt we're all on the same page here
20:36:40 cburgess dansmith pics or it didn't happen
20:36:45 mriedem you know what i think we can all agree on?
20:36:51 mriedem removing the gluster volume driver https://review.openstack.org/#/c/463992/
20:36:59 cburgess +1 LGTM
20:37:02 dansmith heh
20:39:52 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Cleanup update_instance cell mapping handling https://review.openstack.org/467380
20:39:53 mriedem dansmith: i'm also hoping you don't find problems with ^
20:40:10 mriedem i think that stuff all predates _get_instance storing the targeted cell context on the instance object
20:40:41 dansmith mriedem: can we wait and or depends-on that on the multicell devstack patch?
20:40:56 mriedem i can put a change on top with the depends-on to test it out
20:41:02 dansmith okay
20:41:19 dansmith or just dependson it and remove it if it's good
20:41:20 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/436094/ right?
20:41:28 dansmith yar
