<nexussfan>sneek: later tell azert i was not able to reproduce it on my amd64 hurd host <sneek>Welcome back nexussfan, you have 1 message! <sneek>nexussfan, gnucode says: The Hurd doesn't have a live option yet. Like Samual would say, "Patches welcome." <nexussfan>sneek: later tell gnucode Live hurd may be possible, but probably not on USB because there's really bad support for usb on hurd <damo22>nexussfan: what are you talking about? if there is a problem with usb it can be fixed, patches welcome <nexussfan>damo22: well rumpusbdisk doesn't really work on my host, but i don't use usb anyway on that device so it's ok <damo22>if you find a bug, report it on savannah bug tracking <damo22>"it doesnt work" isnt a bug report too <azeem>how is gnumach(?) computing the total memory? I don't have swap enabled, and I noticed the first column of free(1) changes its values (slightly on hurd-i386 but noticably on hurd-amd64), is that expected? <damo22>the rest is allocated to the system <azeem>so "total memory" in free is what is allocated to the system? <youpi>iirc it's something like this yes <azeem>I've noticed some kind of memory leak between Postgres buildfarm runs on hurd-amd64, total memory goes down by around 7MB and available memory by around 14MB per run, but I haven't really traced it scientifically <azeem>(would be nice if sysstat worked, so one could sar) <Gooberpatrol66>I found out that guix already supports 64 bit childhurd vm, which is cool
