| fabbione | morning | 06:12 |
|---|---|---|
| fabbione | braddr: i can't access the ALOM on your box | 06:14 |
| fabbione | braddr: did you unplug it? | 06:14 |
| === fabbione shakes braddr | ||
| braddr | crap.. damage from my nat box croaking | 06:32 |
| braddr | give me 10 minutes, I'll move it to a public ip address | 06:33 |
| fabbione | take the time you need :) | 06:33 |
| fabbione | even 20 | 06:33 |
| === braddr goes to remind himself where he plugged in the serial port. | ||
| === braddr lost a disk last night.. just started to get the box up enough to restore from last night's backup | ||
| fabbione | oh i see | 06:35 |
| fabbione | ok please don't rush | 06:35 |
| fabbione | both davem and I can reproduce the problem now | 06:35 |
| fabbione | and he is working on a fix locally | 06:36 |
| fabbione | your box was to do the last test once we have the fix | 06:36 |
| fabbione | it's not required right now | 06:36 |
| braddr | excellent, I guess. Won't take me but a few minutes to reconfig the network info, I've got spare ip addresses | 06:36 |
| braddr | ok.. reconfigs, I updated the host entry for it, so you can still get to it via the t2000-sc hostname | 06:41 |
| fabbione | thanks | 06:41 |
| braddr | no problem | 06:41 |
| braddr | that just leaves my tivo off the air. :) | 06:41 |
| fabbione | :) | 06:42 |
| fabbione | it works.. thanks | 06:42 |
| braddr | heh.. come to think of it, I could have just told you to use minicom on bellevue directly since either way it's all the same speed. | 06:43 |
| fabbione | ehhe | 06:43 |
| fabbione | true that | 06:43 |
| braddr | any idea what changed that caused your respective boxes to start exhibiting the problem? | 06:46 |
| fabbione | davem removed 8GB of RAM from his box to go down to 8Gb | 06:46 |
| fabbione | mine started exhibiting the problem with one image that i was using to fix your | 06:46 |
| fabbione | s/fix/test | 06:46 |
| fabbione | so basically it was just a matter of changing something else | 06:47 |
| braddr | interesting | 06:47 |
| fabbione | probably mine didn't show it immediatly because it has more hw inside | 06:47 |
| fabbione | like 2 PCI-E controllers | 06:47 |
| fabbione | who knows.. | 06:47 |
| === braddr nods. | ||
| fabbione | davem just disappeared testing... | 06:48 |
| fabbione | i am sure he will find a fix | 06:48 |
| braddr | for what it's worth.. still nothing from sun. | 06:50 |
| braddr | I've been avoiding asking them what's up.. I'm over 2 weeks over due now. :) | 06:51 |
| fabbione | yeah | 06:51 |
| fabbione | don't ask :) | 06:51 |
| fabbione | i should return IBM hw as well | 06:51 |
| braddr | been a while since I got to play with any interesting ibm hardware. | 06:52 |
| braddr | their SP frames are kinda interesting. | 06:52 |
| braddr | huge though | 06:52 |
| === braddr makes a mental note, exclude the apt-proxy cache from backups. | ||
| fabbione | eheh | 06:54 |
| fabbione | nah i got a small machine from them to do some research | 06:54 |
| fabbione | nothing fancy | 06:54 |
| fabbione | but i should have returned it last week | 06:55 |
| braddr | 2 boots in a row.. | 07:28 |
| fabbione | both with the wrong image | 07:29 |
| fabbione | and there was still corruption | 07:29 |
| fabbione | Unknown localized field: | 07:29 |
| fabbione | Description-mk.UTF-8: | 07:29 |
| fabbione | that can't happen | 07:30 |
| braddr | I wasn't sure if that was the kernel or the installer | 07:30 |
| fabbione | it's memory corruption ;) | 07:30 |
| fabbione | -13 with a hack seems good | 07:32 |
| fabbione | nevermind | 07:59 |
| braddr | no corrupted string that time I see | 08:24 |
| braddr | are hi5's in order? | 08:24 |
| fabbione | this one looks good yeah | 08:24 |
| fabbione | not yet | 08:24 |
| fabbione | this is still a hack | 08:24 |
| braddr | well, one for progress regardless | 08:24 |
| braddr | btw, I never did check to see what was on disk1 to make sure it was ok to reformat/reinstall | 08:25 |
| fabbione | no need to | 08:25 |
| fabbione | since we can reproduce it locally, we can scratch here | 08:25 |
| === braddr nods. | ||
| braddr | no dhcp server right now -- soon it'll be back. | 08:26 |
| fabbione | no problem | 08:27 |
| braddr | 209.189.198.125/255.255.255.224 gw .97 | 08:27 |
| fabbione | i don't need it :) | 08:27 |
| braddr | didn't know how far into the install you were gonna go | 08:28 |
| fabbione | :) | 08:29 |
| fabbione | i did check enough to say that the initrd was not corrupted | 08:29 |
| === braddr eyes http://www.coraid.com/ | ||
| fabbione | looks good | 08:34 |
| fabbione | the image i mean | 08:34 |
| === braddr nods. | ||
| fabbione | i have seen that before | 08:35 |
| fabbione | we have the aoe support in the kernel | 08:35 |
| fabbione | it's just another block device over ethernet | 08:35 |
| braddr | yupp | 08:35 |
| fabbione | i used it a lot to do cluster testing ;) | 08:35 |
| fabbione | before i got a real SAN | 08:35 |
| braddr | yeah yeah.. lucky you. :) | 08:36 |
| braddr | feel free to ship me your excess toys. | 08:36 |
| fabbione | i don't use it 24/7 | 08:36 |
| fabbione | it's too expensive to run at home | 08:36 |
| fabbione | and very very warm | 08:36 |
| fabbione | you really need a/c for that | 08:36 |
| ajmitch | sounds perfect for me at the moment | 08:37 |
| fabbione | braddr: so -13 has a hack with a fake page_size of 128 * 1024 that doesn't work | 08:39 |
| fabbione | -14 has 256*1024 and it works | 08:39 |
| fabbione | but it's still a hack | 08:39 |
| fabbione | now time to produce a final fix | 08:39 |
| braddr | and -11 and -12? last one in my notes was -10 | 08:39 |
| fabbione | ajmitch: did you ever get access to your |Viagara boxes? | 08:39 |
| fabbione | braddr: oh hell.. wait.. let me remember... | 08:40 |
| fabbione | -11 was a broken patch | 08:40 |
| braddr | not really that important, but if you remember I can shove it in the log | 08:40 |
| fabbione | -12 the same patch using the proper PAGE_SIZE (that clearly doens't work | 08:40 |
| ajmitch | not proper access at the moment | 08:42 |
| braddr | boots.txt updated to record those notes, but didn't bother capturing the sequence of events from tonight | 08:42 |
| fabbione | no problem | 08:43 |
| fabbione | we are close to a solution now | 08:43 |
| braddr | seems like it | 08:43 |
| fabbione | ajmitch: sucks to be you :) | 08:43 |
| fabbione | i got a T2000 with 32 threads 32GB of ram and 1.2Ghz proc | 08:43 |
| fabbione | the top class ;) | 08:44 |
| ajmitch | nice :) | 08:44 |
| === braddr glares. | ||
| braddr | of course, you're actually using yours. :) | 08:44 |
| fabbione | ehhe clearly | 08:44 |
| braddr | without considerably faster disks, my primary usage wouldn't even really keep that many threads busy. | 08:45 |
| fabbione | remember that this box is designed for http stuff | 08:46 |
| braddr | yup. | 08:46 |
| braddr | I keep my 16 mostly busy | 08:46 |
| fabbione | i can keep much more than that busy for what i do ;) | 08:47 |
| fabbione | as soon as i release, i want to install the the Niagara at the datacenter and play distcc or something ;) | 08:47 |
| braddr | I'd just started playing with using /tmp under solaris.. using linux and tmpfs I ought to do a lot better | 08:48 |
| braddr | but seeks and solaris' slower file systems were hurting me badly. | 08:48 |
| fabbione | the only reason i would use solaris it's for the hotplug support in their kernel | 09:06 |
| fabbione | for all the hotadd/hotremove of the hw | 09:06 |
| fabbione | otherwise it can screw | 09:06 |
| braddr | agreed.. once we're done here linux is primary, though I'll keep solaris around since I'm porting a compiler to support both on sparc | 09:13 |
| fabbione | eheh | 09:16 |
