| lousygarua | sorry n00b, how do i compare strings in bash? if [ $1=='something' ] | 13:07 |
| soren | if [ "$1" = 'foobar' ]; then echo \$1 is foobar; fi | 13:14 |

| lousygarua | soren, yeah thanks i got it | 13:16 |
| ^robertj | where is setup done for the perc5i raid controller? mine was supposed to come factory configured w/ a 5-disk raid 5 but it didn't | 14:19 |
| ^robertj | lvm is only for configuring software raid? | 14:20 |
| avatar_ | lvm is different from software raid | 14:20 |
| avatar_ | md / mdadm is for configuring software raid | 14:21 |
| ^robertj | avatar_: the tutorials say you add devices to the md set by referencing /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb2 etc, but that doesn't seem to make sense for hardware raid | 14:27 |
| avatar_ | hardware is configure in the bios of the raid controller | 14:29 |
| ^robertj | avatar: is that accessible through the motherboard's bios then or by some custom util? | 14:29 |
| avatar_ | bios of the raid controller | 14:30 |
| avatar_ | most time accesible at boot time | 14:30 |
| ^robertj | ahh | 14:30 |
| avatar_ | by hitting ctrl-m | 14:30 |
| ^robertj | ill go reboot and watch carefully | 14:30 |
| ^robertj | back to the wind-tunnel | 14:30 |
| avatar_ | or another keystroke | 14:30 |
| ^robertj | avatar_ ahh, there is a "Tools" Menu that gives you the option to do Ctl+r to set it up, after that it seems easy enough | 14:35 |
| ^robertj | The only RAID i've done before has been on macs where there are vendor-specific vendor-utilities for doing that stuff | 14:35 |
| mralphabet | ^robertj: hardware raid is 99% of the time configured at the bios level in pc architecture | 14:38 |
| mralphabet | ^robertj: software raid would be configured in the OS | 14:38 |
| avatar_ | perc5 with raid5? | 14:38 |
| avatar_ | last week i heard some people complaining about performance with raid5/perc5 | 14:39 |
| ^robertj | avatar_: I'll let you know how it turns out | 14:43 |
| ^robertj | hrmm, does it normally take 20 minutes to create a 3TB ext3 fs? | 14:52 |
| donspaulding | can anyone tell me why my script, linked into /etc/cron.daily/ doesn't run? both the script and the link have read+execute perms. | 15:42 |
| mralphabet | donspaulding: do you have #!/bin/sh at the top of it? | 15:44 |
| donspaulding | yes | 15:44 |
| donspaulding | because I'd run into that before :-) but this time I'm stumped | 15:45 |
| * mralphabet dunno's | 15:45 | |
| donspaulding | does anacron log to /var/log/syslog? | 15:45 |
| ^robertj | hrmm, any reason that grub shouldn't install to the mbr of a hardware raid device? | 15:58 |
| sommer | donspaulding: if you do grep -i cron /var/log/sylog is there any entries about your script? | 15:59 |
| mralphabet | hardware raid has an mbr? | 16:01 |
| ^robertj | mralphabet: i figured it pretended to have one | 16:02 |
| donspaulding | sommer: looking right now | 16:02 |
| donspaulding | syslog is big on this box | 16:02 |
| ^robertj | mralphabet: do you just install it to your /dev/md0 device? | 16:02 |
| mralphabet | md0 is software raid | 16:03 |
| ^robertj | err your right | 16:03 |
| mralphabet | in my storage server I have 2x80 that I use mdadm on to mirror the OS | 16:04 |
| mralphabet | I try not to have the OS and the storage array be the same thing | 16:04 |
| ^robertj | mralphabet: should entering /dev/sda1 as the path for grub install make it happy supposing that / really does live on sda1? | 16:09 |
| mralphabet | ^robertj: let me check my grub conf | 16:09 |
| ^robertj | thats the kind of path it seems to suggest in the installer but its just throwing a generic kinda of no message, and I was wondering if i was doing something wrong agian or if it was time to dig to find out what the problem is | 16:10 |
| mralphabet | ^robertj: what media are you using to install? 7.10 server? | 16:11 |
| mralphabet | ^robertj: but yes, that should be it | 16:12 |
| ^robertj | mralphabet: yeah 7.10 server | 16:12 |
| ^robertj | fdisk -l lists it as /dev/sda1 with /dev/sda2 being swap, which is how autop-config did it | 16:13 |
| mralphabet | yeah | 16:13 |
| ^robertj | the files in /var/log/ don't seem to be of much help and running grub-installer -no-floppy "/dev/sda1" just gives me a blue screen and hten dumps me silently to prompt | 16:13 |
| mralphabet | the installer should be doing this for you | 16:15 |
| mralphabet | did you quit out of it? | 16:16 |
| ^robertj | no | 16:16 |
| ^robertj | its still running in another vtty | 16:16 |
| ^robertj | but it just said it had a fatal error | 16:16 |
| mralphabet | ahh | 16:16 |
| mralphabet | gotcha | 16:16 |
| donspaulding | sommer: thanks for the help, it appears cron hasn't been running at all for the last 2 weeks. Ouch. | 16:17 |
| donspaulding | sommer: make that hasn't been running for one week. This is what did it, does it look familiar? | 16:19 |
| donspaulding | Oct 24 11:43:35 mta1 kernel: [1969908.736966] cron invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201d2, order=0, oomkilladj=0 | 16:19 |

| donspaulding | Oct 24 11:43:35 mta1 kernel: [1969908.746109] Killed process 4135 (cron) | 16:19 |
| ^robertj | mralphabet: so err, boot from cd and choose boot first partition, then try to install grub by hand? | 16:19 |
| donspaulding | hmmm... looks like the system was out of memory and cron was determined to be a good candidate for killing | 16:21 |
| ScottK | Yep | 16:22 |
| donspaulding | I love linux | 16:24 |
| donspaulding | * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this | 16:24 |

| Fabio_Como | hello, i had setup proftpd.. the system user "testuser" can connect by ftp and it's chrootet in his ~, the problem is that files he uploads get his permissions.. but i need that file should have the www-data user, so that apache can handle them correctly | 17:28 |
| sommer | Fabio_Como: You can change which user the proftpd process runs as with the User and Group config items | 17:35 |
| sommer | that may work for you, but you may need to change the permissions of the ftproot | 17:36 |
| Fabio_Como | i mean | 17:45 |
| Fabio_Como | that the files written trough ftp session should be www-data:www-data | 17:45 |
| Fabio_Como | and not username:usergroup | 17:45 |
| sommer | Fabio_Como: you might look into the umask config then. | 17:46 |
| Fabio_Como | k thanks | 17:47 |
| Fabio_Como | it seems umask can only set rwx permissions | 17:48 |
| Fabio_Como | and not chown/chgrp | 17:48 |
| sommer | Fabio_Como: try GroupOwner | 17:49 |
| sommer | and Umask | 17:49 |
| Fabio_Como | however i think that i shuld detach from system-user | 17:50 |
| Fabio_Como | and create specific ftp users | 17:50 |
| Fabio_Como | so i can associate them to the system www-data user | 17:51 |
| Fabio_Como | docs: Note that GroupOwner cannot be used to override the host OS/file system user/group paradigm. | 17:59 |
| sommer | anyone at or listening to the UDS identity-management session? | 18:39 |
| sommer | just wondering who is the guy doing the most talking? | 18:41 |

| dendrobates | it's Jerry Carter | 18:52 |
| dendrobates | he wrote the OReilly samba book | 18:52 |
| dendrobates | But I am talking as well. | 18:53 |
| zul | cool | 18:53 |
| sommer | dendrobates: thanks, I was wondering about the book part. | 18:55 |
| sommer | ah... no sound ? | 18:58 |
| mathiaz | sommer: finished now. | 18:59 |
| dendrobates | yes | 19:00 |
| sommer | ah... thanks | 19:00 |
| ScottK | mathiaz: Hello. I didn't get a chance to say hello the short time I was there, but I at least know what you look like now. | 19:00 |
| mathiaz | ScottK: hi. It's good to put faces on nicknames :) | 19:01 |
| ScottK | mathiaz: I can hear your accent (from my perspective) when I read what you type now too. | 19:02 |
| mathiaz | sommer: do you plan to listen to the server-documentation session ? | 19:05 |
| sommer | mathiaz: yep, but I don't have a mic so I won't be able to talk. | 19:05 |
| sommer | the audio from the sessions has been really cool... thanks to everyone who enabled that. | 19:06 |
| mathiaz | sommer: ok. I can rely if you want. | 19:06 |
| mathiaz | sommer: relay | 19:06 |
| mathiaz | sommer: I'll ping you when the session is about to start. | 19:06 |
| sommer | mathiaz: cool thanks | 19:07 |
| mathiaz | sommer: 4:15 PM EST | 19:07 |
| mathiaz | sommer: session started | 20:15 |

| ajmitch | a shame that I can't listen in from work | 20:16 |
| robin1900 | Hi All | 20:16 |
| robin1900 | Just wondering if someone could clear something up for me | 20:17 |
| sommer | mathiaz: my suggestion is to build it in the Wiki | 20:20 |
| sommer | mathiaz: then import part or all of the article into the Docbook guide. | 20:21 |
| sommer | mathiaz: plus it can be updated quicker | 20:21 |
| mralphabet | where are people listening from? | 20:22 |
| sommer | mathiaz: and if we get the macro version spec | 20:22 |
| sommer | mralphabet: I'm using the icecast link | 20:22 |
| sommer | http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-boston-2007/2007-11-01/index.html | 20:23 |
| sommer | mathiaz: you might bring up this spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpWikiQualityAssurance | 20:25 |
| sommer | mathiaz: nm I think you just did. | 20:25 |
| mralphabet | sommer: thanks | 20:31 |
| sommer | np | 20:31 |
| sommer | mathiaz: if the doc starts in the Wiki you could implement some type of rating system | 20:37 |
| sommer | mathiaz: there are moinmoin macros that enable ratings. | 20:39 |
| mralphabet | developers don't like to read docs!? WHAT! ;) | 20:39 |
| sommer | heh | 20:40 |
| ajmitch | unpossible | 20:40 |
| mralphabet | whoever is slamming doors needs to be kneecaped | 20:45 |
| mralphabet | +p | 20:45 |
| sommer | lol | 20:45 |
| sommer | it's also a little harder to hear people that are farther away from the mic...heh | 20:46 |
| sommer | need surround sound mics or something | 20:46 |
| sommer | :) | 20:46 |
| mralphabet | yeah | 20:46 |
| ajmitch | makes it hard to hear when you're already in a noisy office :) | 20:48 |
| sommer | mathiaz: do you have commit rights for docs? | 20:49 |
| mathiaz | sommer: no | 20:49 |
| sommer | mathiaz: okay, just wondering... all my patches have been commit by bhuzan :) | 20:50 |
| sommer | mathiaz: I think the wiki docs can be "translated" to docbook by hand before the freeze... especially with more help from the teams. | 20:57 |
| sommer | heh... emacs users under 30... that's funny | 21:03 |
| ajmitch | sommer: hm? | 21:06 |
| sommer | they were talking about it no me... don't shoot the messanger | 21:07 |
| ajmitch | yeah, it's rather hard to follow the discussions | 21:07 |
| sommer | it'd be cool to have video... then you could see who's talking, but probably take too much bandwidth | 21:08 |
