| 07:32.09 | morsing | So how are you and Steve related then? |
| 07:32.40 | GingerDog | i don't think we are; although i've not spoken to him. I do have one relation called Steve in "IT", but I don't think we've met |
| 07:32.55 | morsing | Does he do games programming? |
| 07:33.19 | GingerDog | not afaik |
| 07:33.29 | GingerDog | "my" steve was in telecoms last I knew |

| 07:34.00 | morsing | Right... |
| 07:34.22 | morsing | So how are you related to "your" Steve? You have never met? |
| 07:35.08 | GingerDog | i don't think we've met; my grandfather would be a brother to his grandfather, i think. |
| 07:35.36 | GingerDog | or was it great-grandfather |
| 07:35.39 | GingerDog | i can't remember which |
| 07:35.47 | morsing | Odd you even know about him then :) |
| 07:36.52 | GingerDog | no, it must be grandfather |

| 13:35.47 | clive-h | Tainted kernel that could almost be a song titl |
| 13:35.48 | clive-h | e |
| 13:38.51 | dick_turpin | Ooh don't make fun of the 'Kernel' to some its sacrosanct, I got into a spat for suggesting that you could ignore kernel taining warning messages |
| 13:40.20 | clive-h | I have to use binary kernel modules on some of my kit |
| 13:40.42 | clive-h | It'd be nice if the vendors would open the code |
| 13:41.35 | dick_turpin | But heres a good one, SUSE do an IBM Laptop support module that taints the kernel! so go figure? |
| 13:42.20 | clive-h | Nice |
| 13:42.55 | clive-h | There's no linux support for some of the funkier stuff on my Acer laptop |
| 13:44.04 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Is it the Ferrari? |
| 13:44.54 | clive-h | No can't afford anything like that |
| 13:45.09 | clive-h | Core Duo 1Gb laptop |
| 13:46.18 | dick_turpin | I saw a guy with crappy Ubuntu on an Acer Ferrari last year |
| 13:46.49 | clive-h | I'm running Fedora Core 6 on it |
| 13:47.07 | clive-h | No support for the media keys though |
| 13:47.30 | dick_turpin | Ooh ooh ooh I'm running FC7 on a Fujitsu Amelio but it has a couple of issues |
| 13:56.47 | clive-h | I'll move to F7 when it ships gold |
| 13:56.59 | clive-h | The C bit has gone now of course |
| 13:57.00 | morsing | I heard H8 does at the moment |
| 13:57.13 | morsing | No, Gbic is still here |
| 14:01.48 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Its very nice, one or two bits are broken and my BIOS must be stuffed as it wont power off just halts |
| 14:02.06 | clive-h | Oh dear |
| 14:02.14 | clive-h | I looked at F7 Test 2 |
| 14:02.34 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I have to have acpi disabled |
| 14:02.50 | clive-h | I shall go to F7 when final ships |
| 14:04.06 | dick_turpin | clive-h: You'll love it although I'm not sure about the updater (everyone is using the globe now) I've reverted to command line yum |
| 14:07.42 | clive-h | I use command line yum |
| 14:08.17 | clive-h | I'm a professional sysadmin |
| 14:08.46 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I'm a professional idiot |
| 14:09.20 | clive-h | I'll be interested to see what F7 ships like |
| 14:09.49 | clive-h | I can easily dual boot Fc6 and F7 |
| 14:11.33 | dick_turpin | clive-h: The auto partitioner and grub installer was broken on the download I did I had to muck around to get it on. It should dual boot but it did not pick up the first partition |
| 14:12.25 | clive-h | well if that's still an issue I can fix it after |
| 14:13.21 | clive-h | I've been multibooting things for 14 years or so |
| 14:13.34 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Actually I was impressed with myself how I managed to figure it out. Oh the heady days of "Please help me I cant install" |
| 14:13.57 | clive-h | Boot from Fc6 CD1 , 'linux rescue' |
| 14:14.19 | clive-h | chroot to the Fc6 setup |
| 14:14.26 | clive-h | grub-install /dev/sda] |

| 14:15.09 | morsing | Horse tranquilisers are pretty good I've heard |
| 14:15.38 | clive-h | uh what? |
| 14:17.02 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Pity FC dosen't have the same rescue as SUSE you just plonk the CD/DVD in start the install but choose repair when it gets to the upgrade/install bit theres an auto fix feature that does everything with no user interaction I've used it loads of times |
| 14:17.44 | clive-h | I quite liked OpenSUSE 10.1 |
| 14:17.52 | clive-h | I must try 10.2 |
| 14:18.23 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I run openSUSE 10.2 on my main box at home |
| 14:19.24 | clive-h | I run FC6 |
| 14:19.35 | dick_turpin | clive-h: But I've broken grub on that too so I'm using 'Super Grub' to boot it at the moment |
| 14:20.10 | clive-h | I've OS X working on my other desktop |
| 14:20.24 | clive-h | I really must get a USB KVM |

| 14:24.11 | clive-h | well mostly off |
| 14:24.30 | clive-h | but my leccy bill gets scary sometimes |
| 14:25.30 | dick_turpin | clive-h: My wife once grabbed me by the arm and forced me into the cupboard to watch the dial spin round on our metre, it was scary |
| 14:25.50 | clive-h | Hahaha |
| 14:25.58 | morsing | dick_turpin: Sounds mildy exciting |
| 14:26.13 | clive-h | My ex was a techie too, she had a few pcs |
| 14:26.39 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I pretended it was the washing machine (pretty unconvincing) |
| 14:27.33 | dick_turpin | morsing: You like watching leccy meters? |
| 14:28.14 | morsing | dick_turpin: Oh... So is that all you did in there? |

| 14:29.23 | morsing | Hmm... |
| 14:30.30 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Do you know how to map keys? the fuji has an email button it'd be cool if I could get Kmail to fire up when it was pressed or better still send & recieve |
| 14:32.01 | clive-h | Mapping keys is problematic |
| 14:32.27 | clive-h | I have extra keys on both the desktop and the laptop I can't use |
| 14:32.48 | dick_turpin | morsing: Given the mood she was in the only thing that would of happened was me being buried under the patio |
| 14:33.32 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Yeah I had a look at the key mapping feature it did say "Press the key you want" but of course nothing happened |
| 14:34.30 | clive-h | It'd be handy to have the email/browser buttons owrk |
| 14:34.33 | clive-h | work |
| 14:34.44 | clive-h | and the media buttons, play etc |
| 14:35.21 | dick_turpin | clive-h: There is also an 'I' button I could use that for Firefox |
| 14:35.44 | clive-h | They work under vista |
| 14:35.57 | clive-h | But that's not really an option |
| 14:35.57 | dick_turpin | clive-h: ROTFLMAO |
| 14:36.26 | clive-h | I'd go insane quickly using vistaq |
| 14:36.30 | clive-h | -q |
| 14:36.35 | morsing | +t |
| 14:37.29 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Every time I look at Vista I keep thinking Mac/Beryl |
| 14:37.54 | clive-h | I have OS X running on my other desktop |
| 14:38.13 | clive-h | having played with beryl it looks interesting |
| 14:38.37 | dick_turpin | clive-h: I have it on my SUSE and F7 |
| 14:38.47 | clive-h | But then I liked sun's project looking glass |
| 14:39.27 | dick_turpin | clive-h: Cor yes but I was a bit frightened of putting that on incase I screwed up what I have |

| 14:46.46 | clive-h | ahhh cool what was the problem? |
| 14:49.36 | morsing | clive-h: In check_nrpe.cfg the definition ends in -a $ARG2$ but I wasn't giving any arguments in the service definition, i.e. it just said check_nrpe!check_home! |
| 14:49.53 | morsing | Removing -a $ARG2$ solved it |
| 14:50.31 | clive-h | Heh |
| 14:52.02 | clive-h | Did that work prior to the debian upgrade? |
| 14:52.02 | morsing | I believe so actually. Strange |

| 15:20.06 | morsing | Where have you been? |
| 15:29.01 | resuDaed | afternoon |
| 15:29.14 | resuDaed | trying to fix multiple internet connections it seems |
| 15:29.41 | resuDaed | neither of my networks liked the transition from telewest to virgin media (at some point) |
| 15:30.28 | resuDaed | and the bastards (virgin) have moved the status line (before sucha a quick and easy system) to a different number and this thing where you have to press buttons |
| 15:32.35 | hali | i had an hour long outage on my virgin line this weekend |
| 15:32.43 | resuDaed | google.co.uk : 10 packets transmitted, 9 received, 10% packet loss, time 24186ms |
| 15:32.53 | resuDaed | the big issue being the time thing |
| 15:38.04 | hali | i've got 0% paket loss, but times in the 3000ms range :/ |
| 15:38.09 | hali | and thats on a good day |

| 16:56.09 | resuDaed | fairly certain issues were at virgins end (although they are denying it), but net connection seems stable again (touch wood) |
| 17:01.45 | resuDaed | grrr, why is lvm on raid on raid on scsi so fscking difficult |
| 17:02.52 | resuDaed | pvcreate /dev/md1 worked ok, but pvscan shows physical volumes on /dev/md0 and /dev/sda1 (shere it shouldn't be) and not /dev/md1 (where it should be) |
| 17:04.23 | antiphase | PEBKAC |
| 17:05.35 | resuDaed | antiphase : what, pvscan /dev/md1 shouldn't work, or it's because its raid on raid? |
| 17:05.58 | resuDaed | s/pvscan/pvcreate |
| 17:06.18 | antiphase | raid on raid should be irrelevant, it's still just a block device in the end |
| 17:08.08 | resuDaed | but what is happening is pvcreate is createing the meta data at the start of md1, which is also the start of sda1 and md0 is probably in there somewhere, so when it scans for physical volumes, it is trying all the combinations and finding bogus volumes |
| 17:08.10 | resuDaed | (my theory) |
| 17:08.43 | antiphase | So blank the "disks" that you're trying to LVM and start again |
| 17:09.21 | antiphase | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=8192 |
| 17:09.25 | antiphase | (wait a bit) |
| 17:09.32 | antiphase | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md1 bs=8192 |
| 17:09.32 | antiphase | (wait a bit) |
| 17:09.39 | antiphase | Do LVM |
| 17:09.41 | antiphase | ... |
| 17:09.42 | antiphase | profit |
| 17:10.46 | resuDaed | 6 disks (sd[a-f],4*73 and 2*36), md0 is a linear ararry of sd[ef], md1 is a raid 5 of sd[a-d] & md0 |
| 17:11.13 | resuDaed | works fine as raid (once I got around a few startup ordering issues) |
| 17:15.03 | resuDaed | antiphase : not quite sure how that worked, but it did, and I'm impressed |
| 17:17.13 | resuDaed | sort of, the issue is now creating the vg, as it is finding duplicate records in both md0 and md1 |
| 17:17.22 | antiphase | There's no reason why it shouldn't work, it's fairly mature technology these days |
| 17:18.08 | resuDaed | is there a *clean* way to tell lvm not to look at md0? |
| 17:19.33 | antiphase | You could un-pvcreate it |
| 17:19.43 | antiphase | pvremove I assume |
| 17:19.59 | antiphase | If there's no superblock, it can't treat it as a PV |
| 17:20.41 | resuDaed | antiphase : but it from the raid on raid issue, the same data exists in more than one place (or at least appears to) |
| 17:21.15 | antiphase | Blank your arrays after creating them then. It's not rocket science ;) |
| 17:21.28 | antiphase | or start with blank disks |
| 17:21.32 | resuDaed | antiphase : I did |
| 17:22.06 | antiphase | man pvscan and man pvchange then I guess. I've never had a problem with it myself |
| 17:22.27 | antiphase | You may be able to filter what it scans in lvm.conf |
| 17:24.37 | resuDaed | yes, going to try devices { filter=["r|md0|"] } |
| 17:30.41 | resuDaed | antiphase : it seems to be working after filtering out /dev/md0 and /dev/sd* |
| 17:31.17 | antiphase | Gnarly |
| 17:40.58 | resuDaed | right, all is looking good, mounted it, time to reboot and see if it is still there :-) brb |
