14:04:34 <mvollmer> * storage reactification
14:07:15 <andreasn1> any other items?
14:07:27 <andreasn1> #topic Storage reactification
14:08:47 <mvollmer> right
14:09:02 <mvollmer> so I feel this huge urge to rewrite more of "Storage" in react
14:09:16 <mvollmer> next up would be the overview page
14:09:31 <mvollmer> and then the dialogs
14:09:56 <mvollmer> what do y'all think?
14:10:58 <mvollmer> I am not sure whether that would immediately unlock some cool new features
14:11:10 <mvollmer> but I think it's unavoidable by now
14:11:16 <andreasn1> what's the motivation for the rewrite?
14:11:32 <mvollmer> right now it's a mixture of react and mustache
14:11:52 <mvollmer> and the mustache parts also use bootstrapy controls
14:12:06 <petervo> i think it's probably needed for the main pages and VDO integration
14:12:11 <mvollmer> the initial motivation was to fix the tooltip
14:12:28 <petervo> but how big of a deal do you think it is to leave the dialogs as is?
14:12:48 <mvollmer> not a big deal
14:13:09 <mvollmer> the dialogs are not so brutal to rewrite as it looks
14:13:22 <mvollmer> there is only one template, e.g.
14:14:14 <petervo> well it's utu i guess, i just wouldn't want to spend too much time on just a rewrite
14:14:33 <mvollmer> certainly
14:14:44 <mvollmer> i think the details rewrite went well
14:14:57 <petervo> yes
14:15:12 <mvollmer> overview is pretty straightforward, too
14:15:28 <mvollmer> dialogs can wait
14:16:04 <mvollmer> otoh, I think I'll leave NetworkManager well alone
14:17:54 <mvollmer> okay, there is one more thing to fix with the details rewrite (job spinners)
14:18:08 <mvollmer> and I'll carefully look at rewriting the overview
14:18:38 <mvollmer> andreasn1, and maybe to try to answer your question better:
14:18:54 <mvollmer> there are a number of new things lined up for storage
14:19:09 <mvollmer> and doing them in React is just 'better'
14:19:19 <andreasn1> makes sense
14:19:38 <mvollmer> easier for other people than me, also
14:20:23 <mvollmer> eot?
14:20:29 <petervo> i think so
14:20:59 <andreasn1> all right
14:21:02 <andreasn1> was that our only topic?
14:21:13 <mvollmer> I have one more
14:21:27 <andreasn1> shoot
14:21:31 <mvollmer> #topic VDO
14:21:46 <mvollmer> There is this now: https://github.com/dm-vdo/kvdo
14:22:21 <petervo> cool
14:22:47 <petervo> nice to see it on github
14:22:50 <mvollmer> yeah
14:23:34 <mvollmer> biggest issues I can see right now are: Cockpit doesn't pass "-K" to mkfs.xfs, and udev proprties of vdo devices are mostly empty
14:23:56 <mvollmer> I should qualify that
14:24:13 <mvollmer> partitions are not recognized by udisks
14:24:23 <mvollmer> and the backing device has no FS_USAGE set
14:24:27 <mvollmer> all ficable, of course
14:24:47 <petervo> who needs to fix?
14:24:54 <petervo> udisk? or vdo?
14:25:01 <mvollmer> device mapper udev rule people
14:25:16 <mvollmer> and vdo for setting FS_USAGE
14:25:25 <petervo> ok
14:25:26 <mvollmer> I guess now we know where to file issues!
14:25:49 <mvollmer> I'll do that
14:26:01 <andreasn1> 🤩
14:26:23 <mvollmer> probabl blkid needs to learn about vdo
14:27:03 <mvollmer> okay, done!
14:27:08 <andreasn1> excellent
14:27:15 <andreasn1> all right, I guess that was all
