[01:34] anyone seen or plan to back this project? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1352739150/this-is-the-scene [02:09] interesting, thanks for the link [03:11] that's very cool [03:11] pledged [03:12] Kickstarter? [03:13] anyone seen or plan to back this project? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1352739150/this-is-the-scene [03:13] And today's "what the fuck" moment: a job ad that required "micro-computer" upkeep exp [03:13] don't forget to fund my project, it's where i film the people making This is the Scene making This is the Scene. [03:13] Hah [03:14] Looks neat, but...eh, the drama [03:15] Although, that makes it even better as a book [05:01] underscor ill probably be donating [06:03] http://archive.org/download/scm-33062-michaelhuesemanntechno-fixwhyt/piratetv_12_4_23_huesemann.ogv [06:03] good lecture for the bored [06:54] lol. as far as the twitter archiving: http://www.getshitter.com [07:50] as far as stuff i have from torrrents, mostly documentaries, does anybody want that? [07:52] answer is always yes [07:52] how many times to I have to repeat that :) [08:16] ersi: all together they're 18gb, im looking to clear off some space, so upload all at once to IA or piecemeal? [08:17] bsmith094: Be friendly and do searches for the items firstly [08:17] ergh, fine :) [08:19] morning [14:09] :D [14:09] \o/ I made the topic x2 [14:10] Seriously though. Solar flares fuck yo' shit up [14:22] lol [14:37] Anyway, joepie91: When Ubuntu Server automounts a drive it mounts it read-only. If you umount it you can then mount -o defaults and it should be read-write. [14:37] (Well, USB drive that is. For internals I think they default to rw) [14:38] I'm refering to servers [14:38] :p [14:38] that remounted the filesystem of the VPSes as readonly [14:39] Oh. no friggin' idea then. Given that it's Linux it's probably doing something stupid like misdetecting them, and thinking they're externals, but the actual problem/solution are beyond me. [18:45] DoubleJ: No, you're probably way of there. [18:45] A filesystem re-mounted as read-only is usually not a good indicator, I'd check `dmesg` to see if there's any I/O Errors or such [18:47] joepie91: dell servers? [18:47] randomly turned RO? [18:47] = failing perc card in my experience. [18:47] the ram on two of the cards failed. ON THE SAME DAY! [18:47] Yeah, you know your way through probability and statistics I see [18:48] could never have anything to do with the usage, nope sir, never [18:48] hmmm [18:48] like a retard sysadmin [18:48] \:D/ [18:48] well there wasn't much going on that day. [18:48] and they were seperate servers, doing seperate unrelated tasks [18:48] ersi: of course it can happen. it could of been the electric too. [18:48] "I BOUGHT THIS SEAGATE HARD DRIVE AND IT FAILED AFTER LIKE, ONLY TWO YEARS. I HATE SEAGATE, DONT BUY DEM" [18:48] same thing ^ [18:48] ersi: lulz. [18:49] Not really. [18:49] Do you see me hating on dell? [18:49] I've had hdds fail from pretty much every manufacturer. [18:49] I also know why to not run raid6 on more than 3-4 drives. [18:49] It read like you said "I hate dell, they make shitty perc cards because my two out of the bazillions made died". but maybe I read too much into your lines :P [18:49] ersi: haha nah. [18:50] I'm actually quite supportive of dell, concidering some of the stories i've heard [18:50] As a end user, my dell laptop when i got it all those years ago was well built, powerful and reasonably priced. [18:50] The support at work has been generally very good. [18:51] The issue of getting one of the perc cards replaced was annoying and drawn out, simply because we couldn't replicate the error, but other than that they've been very good. [18:51] Yeah, that can always be frustrating [18:51] How do you prove its not going to fail? ;~) [18:51] I know, I'm a sw tester xD [18:52] Everything fails, sooner or later [18:52] That was my problem..... it would fail to write for hours (infact it managed a week) from running on teh cache. [18:52] Question is how often :) [18:52] Yup, our server stayed up a week without writing to the hdd ¬_¬ [18:53] How do you write a test that proves you've written to the hdd, when you can't use write-through mode? [18:53] sync every 10 min "just in case" ? [18:53] XD [18:57] Uh, no - that seems very silly [18:57] Also, don't you have redundancy? ;o or was it two perc cards, one in each host? [18:59] but I don't know your case/scenario. It does seem you're talking about testing it in operation though, more like a sysadmin ^ :) [19:02] yah redudancy [19:02] one card failed in one of the 4 servers [19:02] and another failed elsewhere, in naother set of db archives iirc [19:03] however my boss is erm.... a problem ;) [19:03] Basically because the box was up, it carried on doing its thing [19:10] yeah, gotcha
