All,

Don't forget it's the Cardiff Christmas Curry on Tuesday.  The meal is 
booked at the Vegetarian Food Studio 
(https://vegetarianfoodstudio.co.uk/) for 19:30 on Tuesday.

If people want to be at BrewDog ( 
https://www.brewdog.com/bars/uk/cardiff ) to have a drink before hand, 
that'd be great.  I'll hopefully be there from 1830.  But we will need 
to leave BrewDog by about 1910 to make sure we can get to VFS by 1930.

If you want wine/beer, don't forget it's BYOB.  Otherwise the lassis are 
very nice.  Also if you could please bring cash to pay for your bill, as 
it makes my life much easier when sorting out everything at the end of 
the night.  Generally the bill is normally about £20 per head when 
everything has been split.

A couple of people have dropped out, so if you do want to come along, 
please let me know there's plenty of space.  Just email me or reply on 
list saying that you're coming along.

Cheers,

Matt

Apologies.  I also cannot attend the meal in the evening due to
unforeseen circumstances.

All,

Just a quick bump to say that this is this evening.

I've reduced the number of places, so there are now no free spots.

I might be running a bit late due to childcare stuffs, so there's a 
chance I won't be at BrewDog.  If the people who do go to BrewDog could 
please make sure that they leave in plenty of time to make sure they can 
make it by 1930.

Cheers,

Matt

Message-ID: <605595ae4a7ade6c0deee3b0c8914007b9a7101e.camel@gmail.com>

Hello All,

I'm posting to let you know of a position currently being advertised
in my team at the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics
(MRC CNGG), which brings together world-leading researchers to
investigate the major causes of mental health problems.

http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/mrc-centre-neuropsychiatric-genetics-genomics

Full details for the Systems Engineer position are available from the
link:

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BOW262/systems-engineer

The initial description is copied below for convenience.

As a systems engineer, the role involves both software development and
systems administration, but significant experience of both these
fields is not essential - we're be more than interested to hear from
applicants who are strong in one area and happy to gain experience in
the other.

Some Linux technologies we currently use are: ansible, python,
gluster, bash, SGE/Slurm, git and R.

* Closing date: 1st January 2019
* Salary range: £33,199 to £39,609 per annum (Grade 6) 
* 35 hours/week, 37 days holiday + up to 18% employer pension
contribution, details at: http://bit.ly/2obbDX3

Prior to applying, informal enquiries and questions may be directed at
myself via EinonM at cardiff.ac.uk


Many thanks,

Mark

----

Based in the University’s flagship Hadyn Ellis Building, you will be
part of a team of 3 people responsible for supporting the cutting-edge
research carried out by the Division and the MRC Centre for
Neuropsychiatric Generics and Genomics. In particular, you will focus
on bioinformatics and genetic sequencing research with the provision
of High Performance Computing (HPC), UNIX/Linux and associated
expertise.

You should be able to demonstrate significant experience and skills in
Linux system administration, including fluency in Bash, experience of
provisioning tools such as Ansible, monitoring tools such as Ganglia,
version control with Git in addition to Linux based programming and
debugging skills. Knowledge in the use of free and open source tools
and techniques is also essential as is experience in the design of
web-based systems and associated techniques and interfaces.

Your technical skills should be matched by your proven ability to
communicate complex technical issues clearly, professionally and in a
way which can be understood by a wide range of people. A highly
organised and flexible approach to work is required and experience in
free and open source software development will be highly desirable.

Dick & I should be there a little earlier - I think we've over-allowed
for traffic and contingency against forgetting to turn off the M4 like
we did one year :)

Hi all,

I'm afraid that with a puking wife and an equally ill baby, I'm not 
going to be able to make it.  Mark has taken on the task of Geek 
Wrangler in Chief.  I hope you all have a nice time.  If I don't see 
some of you before, there's always next  year.

Cheers,

Matt

A shame you couldn't make it, Matt. It was an enjoyable evening, good
conversation and a _lot_ of curry :)

Subject: [Swlug] Safely resize linux partitions?
Message-ID: <20181214183852.325e169d@suki>

Hi,

I hope someone can give me some clear and safe steps to follow please!

I have this partition table:

Filesystem                   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                         7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                        1.6G  2.9M  1.6G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p2                51G   45G  3.1G  94% /
tmpfs                        7.8G   21M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                        5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                        7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/nvme0n1p3               396G  214G  163G  57% /home
/dev/nvme0n1p1               234M  6.1M  228M   3% /boot/efi

It is one single SSD /dev/nvme0n1p1

The order (left to right shown in gparted) is:
[/dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot][/dev/nvme0n1p2 /][/dev/nvme0n1p3 /home][swap]

So, I need to move /home right by 24 GB (thus shrinking it by 24 GB and
avoiding the swap -- which I don't think I ever use since I have 8 GB
RAM).
Then, stretch / by 24 GB.

Can I do this safely all in gparted live?

Or am I best using a Live USB and running gparted from there?

Or do I need to use console tools?

Thanks!

I've done it safely in gparted live, but as always step 0.. back 
everything up first.

Knowing it worked for you encouraged me to try.

I made a Debian Live USB. It wouldn't boot at first because Unetbootin
didn't set its boot flag, but once I'd done that with gparted it booted
fine. I then had to install gparted 'cos it isn't in the basic .iso but
I did all the moving/resizing and rebooted and everything worked:-)

Hi there, 

Good work. Just a couple of thoughts... 

* You may want to install something like the 'swapspace' daemon. (http://pqxx.org/development/swapspace/) This will create temporary swap files for you beneath /var which can help to protect against oom-killer being invoked. You may not need swap most of the time, but it's handy to have it when you really need it.

* For next time, I would recommend using the LVM volume manager, even on a single device like this. LVM creates an abstraction layer between the physical storage devices and the file systems, so it becomes much easier to move and resize the volumes without having to modify partition tables. In this case you would have been able to allocate more space to the root volume without even rebooting into a live environment.

Anyway, well done for making it all work in the first place. 

All the best, 
Ben

I intend on being there, assuming the weather stays the right side of
monsoon conditions.  As always, if anyone from the east fancies going
I'm happy to provide a lift there and/or back - contact me directly
off-list.  Will be travelling from Cardiff, and can do reasonable
detours for pickup en route, but can be much more flexible in getting
people home.
