[02:34] <foo> Hm, anyone run ubuntu on the dell 2950s with RAID5 and 6 750GB drives? Or, can anyone assure me it'll work? :) 
[02:39] <lz> i think i have a server bug, anybody here?
[02:44] <lz> when i start up 6.10 server only version in virtual pc 2007, the interactive portion with the teal blue background is on some crazy resolution so that i cannot see the bottom half of the screen and thus cannot install it, any help?
[04:09] <kelsa> Does anyone here have a preference for putty (linux) vs pterm?
[01:48] <dthacker> happy saturday. may your pagers be silent. 
[01:49] <Nafallo> :-)
[01:49] <jsgotangco> thanks for the reminder i should set my twitter account to web instead of sms
[06:11] <AlexC_> hey,
[06:13] <Nafallo> morning :-)
[06:15] <radevil> hello
[06:21] <foo> Hm, anyone run ubuntu on the dell 2950s with RAID5?
[06:53] <ivoks> foo: Integrated SAS 5/i(base): 4 port SAS controller. Does not support RAID.
[06:53] <ivoks> so i guess you are using perc 5/i?
[07:09] <AlexC_> is it normal that I'm using 300+mb of memory on my server ... that is doing nothing, no one even knows it is there
[07:10] <ivoks> cache?
[07:28] <foo> ivoks: I believe so, let me check
[07:28] <foo> ivoks: PERC 5/i
[07:28] <foo> Yup
[07:28] <ivoks> so.. what kind of problems do you have?
[07:30] <foo> ivoks: Oh, just hoping that it's easier to get ubuntu working with RAID5 than on the 1435s.
[07:30] <ivoks> foo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/55138
[07:30] <foo> waitHm, I think those had the 5iR SAS raid card.
[07:32] <foo> ivoks: Yeah, someone has told me that too. But, it's not too much of a problem.. as long as the RAID is utilized on, say, sdc, right? 
[07:34] <ivoks> i see...
[07:34] <ivoks> it should work ok
[07:34] <ivoks> but you should do a net install or something
[07:35] <ivoks> cause dapper installer has older kernel which could show you all disks and create problems with grub
[07:35] <foo> ok, so you recommend 6.10 with the 64bit version?
[07:36] <ivoks> no, i do recommend 6.06
[07:36] <ivoks> but with non-default installation
[07:37] <foo> Hm, what do you mean non-default? Is that the alternate cd or something?
[07:37] <ivoks> no
[07:38] <ivoks> it's creating your own installtion method
[07:38] <ivoks> i had similar case with latest 3ware controller
[07:38] <ivoks> i had to create my own kernel to do installation
[07:39] <DustWolf> hell
[07:39] <DustWolf> o
[07:40] <DustWolf> I have a problem with setting up a ftp server correctly
[07:40] <DustWolf> or actually.. I had set it up but now it claims to start but nothing really happens
[07:40] <foo> ivoks: hmm, is that the only way to get the 2950 working with raid5 and that perc 5/i card?
[07:42] <ivoks> foo: maybe not; that's something i would do
[07:42] <ivoks> foo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226114
[07:43] <foo> ivoks: I see. Interesting, hmm.
[07:45] <foo> ivoks: ah, this is going to be handy, thanks. 
[07:46] <foo> ivoks: Hmm, so, you basically take ubuntu and build your own installer?
[07:46] <ivoks> sometimes, yes
[07:47] <foo> Hm, how difficult is something like that? It might help in the long run, especially since I won't be doing this. Just need to kind of help the person that is
[07:48] <ivoks> i'm wrong persion for this question, since it's not difficult for me
[07:48] <ivoks> then again, i'm linux administrator for a decade :)
[07:48] <foo> hehe, nice. ok
[08:10] <radevil> hello
[08:10] <radevil> i have some questions with LDAP backends
[08:10] <radevil> i'm having problems with the database
[08:10] <radevil> it corrupts sometimes
[08:12] <radevil> i'm using a bdb backend
[08:13] <radevil> I lost a few accounts in a power cutoff
[08:13] <radevil> power cutoffs are very often, is there a way to secure the ldap database against that??
