17:54.33 | TheRedBaron | i can tell :) |

18:28.57 | ndim | TheRedBaron: gn00bie knows understeer, oversteer, and how to cope with them. |
18:29.26 | ndim | Sliding, drifting, etc. |
18:30.17 | ndim | You need to do stuff like that at least once a year so you a) know what to do and b) do not panic when they happen. |
18:30.21 | TheRedBaron | I have a basic understanding of the physics and how to correct them. But no experience in them :) |
18:30.46 | ndim | Take some lessons with the gn00bie. |
18:31.04 | ndim | Or just take the car to a large car park and train there. |
18:35.21 | ndim | Stop when you are completely comfortable when the car has lost all grip. |
18:35.24 | ndim | :-) |
18:36.11 | TheRedBaron | stupid question I should already know: do you need an even amount of disks for raid 0 ? |
18:36.47 | ndim | It makes the calculations easier. |
18:37.56 | ndim | Well, l8rz. See y'all in 2009. |
19:14.31 | catay | TheRedBaron: afaik it doesn't really matter if it's even or not |
19:15.29 | TheRedBaron | I could span it across 3 logical drives right? |
19:16.17 | catay | yeah, i don't see any reason why it shouldn't, unless the raidcontroller is crap :) |
19:16.23 | TheRedBaron | :P |
19:17.01 | TheRedBaron | do you have a raid controller manufacturer preference? |
19:18.10 | catay | not really |
19:18.29 | catay | I don't have much experience with it to be honest |
19:18.49 | catay | at my previous company we bought always IBM/HP servers |
19:18.57 | catay | and at my current one it's DELL |
19:19.06 | catay | they all come with their raidcontrollers |
19:19.21 | catay | which are probably rebranded ones |
19:22.52 | TheRedBaron | yea - last dell I bought used a rebranded adaptec scsi controller |
19:36.01 | orange | raid 0? |
19:40.47 | TheRedBaron | yup |
19:41.22 | orange | but why? |
19:41.37 | TheRedBaron | well technically its raid 10 |
19:41.48 | orange | technically a huge difference :-) |
19:41.52 | orange | raid 10 rocks |
19:42.13 | TheRedBaron | it woudl be raid 10 over 6 disks total |
19:42.25 | TheRedBaron | which equal 3 logical raid 1 disks |
19:42.44 | TheRedBaron | hence my question if raid 0 was possible over 3 logical disks |
19:42.48 | orange | sure |
19:43.51 | TheRedBaron | and like I said early - it felt like a stupid question that I should know the answer to. But I wasn't going to take it for granted :) |
19:45.38 | orange | I just get scared when I see raid 0 :-) |
19:45.49 | TheRedBaron | hides his desktop from orange |
19:46.00 | TheRedBaron | I"m guilty of running raid 0 on this machine :) |
19:46.17 | orange | well, if you don't care about the data |
19:46.27 | orange | which is sometimes the case on a desktop |
19:46.40 | TheRedBaron | its just an OS, and I was running out of room on the single HD so I brought in a spare HD and striped them |
19:47.58 | TheRedBaron | orange: how do you organize your postgres install on a filesystem? |
19:48.26 | TheRedBaron | do you just have a sizeable / partition that you put everything on? |
19:52.32 | TheRedBaron | I usually have a small disk mounted as / and a larger disk as /home |
19:52.49 | TheRedBaron | for my dev environments, because I usually end up nuking the install some how :) |
19:55.12 | orange | we usually use a separate partition... we're not going for super blinding speed |
20:05.33 | TheRedBaron | but you use SAS drives :) |
20:16.13 | orange | it leaves us room for optimization :-) |
20:16.21 | orange | they're more reliable anyway |
20:36.47 | TheRedBaron | i've never been a fan of paritions |
20:37.35 | orange | you like freebsd's slices? |
20:37.50 | TheRedBaron | nah. I like harddrives :) |
20:38.15 | orange | you put filesystems on whole-disk devices? |
20:38.23 | orange | or you just use a single primary partition? |
20:38.26 | TheRedBaron | yup |
20:38.47 | orange | erm, which? :-) |
20:38.51 | TheRedBaron | yes :) |
20:38.57 | TheRedBaron | both. |
20:38.59 | Valumzie | ~theDUke++ |
20:39.02 | orange | I seem to recall some reason not to use whole disk |
20:39.11 | orange | but I can't remember the details |
20:39.13 | TheRedBaron | If I have 1 disk, then I'm not going to partition it. |
20:39.48 | orange | single primary serves the same purpose |
20:39.50 | orange | and is more 'standard' |
20:39.52 | orange | if nothing else |
20:40.20 | TheRedBaron | for example - I'll put /home on its own disk, and / on another disk |
20:40.39 | TheRedBaron | that way I can relocate /home to another machine |
20:41.26 | TheRedBaron | the only argument I've heard for partitions - is for reducing seek times. |
20:41.55 | orange | boot programs like them too |
20:50.50 | TheRedBaron | shoots orange for the heck of it. |
20:51.12 | TheRedBaron | :D |
20:51.24 | TheRedBaron | changes his vocation from IT to clown |
20:57.55 | Valumzie | TheRedBaron: you are missing the fight! |
20:58.25 | TheRedBaron | is busy being a clown |
20:58.42 | Valumzie | being a clown is only your side-occupation :P |
20:58.46 | Valumzie | its not a full time job |
21:09.18 | brlcad | heh |
21:10.41 | Valumzie | brlacd!!!! |
21:10.55 | Valumzie | TRB had something to say about the whisky you recommended :) |
21:10.56 | brlcad | Valumzie~~~~ |
21:11.06 | Valumzie | :P |
21:11.09 | brlcad | oops, off-by-one error |
21:11.32 | brlcad | which one, the balvenie? |
21:11.40 | brlcad | *mouth waters* |
21:11.42 | Valumzie | you need to ask him |
21:11.47 | Valumzie | TheRedBaron: ping |
21:11.47 | Valumzie | :) |
21:15.12 | TheRedBaron | brlcad: its the laphroaig |
21:15.34 | brlcad | ah, what about it? :) |
21:16.12 | TheRedBaron | smells like a stump in an old swamp :P |
21:16.27 | brlcad | hah, which one? |
21:16.41 | catay | TheRedBaron: try out lvm , can avoid lots of headaches when your storage needs increase |
21:16.48 | TheRedBaron | islay single malt - 10 years |
21:18.09 | brlcad | iirc, all I said was that it was "good" :) |
21:18.14 | brlcad | ah yes.. "mm, Laphroaig is good" |
21:18.37 | brlcad | a bit peaty, that's the stump smell ;) |
21:18.49 | brlcad | you probably wouldn't like bowmore either |
21:19.08 | catay | you have to be carefull about what you say here , someone might always take it against you sooner or later :) |
21:19.11 | brlcad | balvenie is nothing like laphroaig |
21:19.17 | catay | but gn00bie isn't here, so you are pretty save :P |
21:19.32 | TheRedBaron | :D |
21:19.48 | brlcad | yeah, gn00bie was the one pimping up laphroaig .. :) |
21:19.52 | catay | talks about experience :) |
21:20.11 | orange | TheRedBaron: laphroaig is distinctive, to be sure |
21:20.36 | TheRedBaron | yea - I couldn't remember which of you was touting its praises - Just that it was spoken of favorably during the conversation |
21:22.59 | TheRedBaron | well - when gn00bie comes for a visit, I have a whiskey for him :P |
21:23.14 | orange | give it time |
21:23.59 | brlcad | you'll have to find your own tastes, there are three axes of distinctiveness that cater to personal taste -- smoothity/harshness, peatyness/mildness, and complexity/flavor |
21:24.58 | brlcad | smoothness is mostly driven by the age and smooth is generally much better, but sometimes you're in a mood for something a little more harsh (and it's easier on the pocketbook) |
21:25.02 | TheRedBaron | so far - macallan has been my favorite :) |
21:25.05 | TheRedBaron | ~orange++ |
21:25.13 | orange | <gn00bie> Valumzie: but be careful, laphroaig is very peaty |
21:25.20 | TheRedBaron | for the recommendation. |
21:25.26 | Pimpi_ | anyone with a lathe thats not needed anymore? |
21:25.35 | Pimpi_ | i'd take it... |
21:25.42 | brlcad | macallan is kinda right in the middle of the peaty/mild spectrum |
21:25.45 | orange | TheRedBaron: it's a decent enough drink, and if you enjoy it, then so be it :-) |
21:26.04 | orange | I do... I don't have super sophisticated tastes, myself :-) |
21:26.15 | orange | TheRedBaron: parts have arrived |
21:26.27 | brlcad | at 10 year, you picked a very harsh, peaty laphroig (but which does have a nice complex set of flavors) |
21:31.37 | TheRedBaron | the taste isn't intolerable |
21:31.54 | orange | then you can say you will probably like it in time :-) |
21:32.05 | TheRedBaron | but its the smell that keeps bringing back memories of weekends working in mud digging up stumps :) |
21:32.17 | brlcad | TheRedBaron: fwiw, laphroiag isn't in my top-five (but probably top 20) |
21:32.19 | brlcad | haha |
21:32.45 | TheRedBaron | not the memories one usually recalls when relaxing with a nice drink ;) |
21:32.57 | brlcad | so maybe the distaste has some pavlovian response being invoked :) |
21:33.19 | TheRedBaron | I would acquiesce :) |
