[14:20] lvm is different from software raid [14:21] md / mdadm is for configuring software raid [14:27] <^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 [14:29] 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? [14:30] bios of the raid controller [14:30] most time accesible at boot time [14:30] <^robertj> ahh [14:30] by hitting ctrl-m [14:30] <^robertj> ill go reboot and watch carefully [14:30] <^robertj> back to the wind-tunnel [14:30] or another keystroke [14:35] <^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 [14:38] ^robertj: hardware raid is 99% of the time configured at the bios level in pc architecture [14:38] ^robertj: software raid would be configured in the OS [14:38] perc5 with raid5? [14:39] last week i heard some people complaining about performance with raid5/perc5 [14:43] <^robertj> avatar_: I'll let you know how it turns out [14:52] <^robertj> hrmm, does it normally take 20 minutes to create a 3TB ext3 fs? [15:42] 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. [15:44] donspaulding: do you have #!/bin/sh at the top of it? [15:44] yes [15:45] because I'd run into that before :-) but this time I'm stumped [15:45] * mralphabet dunno's [15:45] does anacron log to /var/log/syslog? [15:58] <^robertj> hrmm, any reason that grub shouldn't install to the mbr of a hardware raid device? [15:59] donspaulding: if you do grep -i cron /var/log/sylog is there any entries about your script? [16:01] hardware raid has an mbr? [16:02] <^robertj> mralphabet: i figured it pretended to have one [16:02] sommer: looking right now [16:02] syslog is big on this box [16:02] <^robertj> mralphabet: do you just install it to your /dev/md0 device? [16:03] md0 is software raid [16:03] <^robertj> err your right [16:04] in my storage server I have 2x80 that I use mdadm on to mirror the OS [16:04] I try not to have the OS and the storage array be the same thing [16:09] <^robertj> mralphabet: should entering /dev/sda1 as the path for grub install make it happy supposing that / really does live on sda1? [16:09] ^robertj: let me check my grub conf [16:10] <^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 [16:11] ^robertj: what media are you using to install? 7.10 server? [16:12] ^robertj: but yes, that should be it [16:12] <^robertj> mralphabet: yeah 7.10 server [16:13] <^robertj> fdisk -l lists it as /dev/sda1 with /dev/sda2 being swap, which is how autop-config did it [16:13] 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 [16:15] the installer should be doing this for you [16:16] 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] ahh [16:16] gotcha [16:17] sommer: thanks for the help, it appears cron hasn't been running at all for the last 2 weeks. Ouch. [16:19] sommer: make that hasn't been running for one week. This is what did it, does it look familiar?

[16:21] hmmm... looks like the system was out of memory and cron was determined to be a good candidate for killing [16:22] Yep [16:24] I love linux [16:24] * 5) we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this [16:24] * algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle [16:24] * of least surprise ...

[17:47] k thanks [17:48] it seems umask can only set rwx permissions [17:48] and not chown/chgrp [17:49] Fabio_Como: try GroupOwner [17:49] and Umask [17:50] however i think that i shuld detach from system-user [17:50] and create specific ftp users [17:51] so i can associate them to the system www-data user [17:59] docs: Note that GroupOwner cannot be used to override the host OS/file system user/group paradigm. [18:39] anyone at or listening to the UDS identity-management session? [18:41] just wondering who is the guy doing the most talking? [18:51] dendrobates isnt it? [18:52] it's Jerry Carter [18:52] he wrote the OReilly samba book [18:53] But I am talking as well. [18:53] cool [18:55] dendrobates: thanks, I was wondering about the book part. [18:58] ah... no sound ? [18:59] sommer: finished now. [19:00] yes [19:00] ah... thanks [19:00] 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. [19:01] ScottK: hi. It's good to put faces on nicknames :) [19:02] mathiaz: I can hear your accent (from my perspective) when I read what you type now too. [19:05] sommer: do you plan to listen to the server-documentation session ? [19:05] mathiaz: yep, but I don't have a mic so I won't be able to talk. [19:06] the audio from the sessions has been really cool... thanks to everyone who enabled that. [19:06] sommer: ok. I can rely if you want. [19:06] sommer: relay [19:06] sommer: I'll ping you when the session is about to start. [19:07] mathiaz: cool thanks [19:07] sommer: 4:15 PM EST [20:15] sommer: session started [20:15] mathiaz: sweet, I'm with ya [20:16] a shame that I can't listen in from work [20:16] Hi All [20:17] Just wondering if someone could clear something up for me [20:20] mathiaz: my suggestion is to build it in the Wiki [20:21] mathiaz: then import part or all of the article into the Docbook guide. [20:21] mathiaz: plus it can be updated quicker [20:22] where are people listening from? [20:22] mathiaz: and if we get the macro version spec [20:22] mralphabet: I'm using the icecast link [20:23] http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-boston-2007/2007-11-01/index.html [20:25] mathiaz: you might bring up this spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpWikiQualityAssurance [20:25] mathiaz: nm I think you just did. [20:31] sommer: thanks [20:31] np [20:37] mathiaz: if the doc starts in the Wiki you could implement some type of rating system [20:39] mathiaz: there are moinmoin macros that enable ratings. [20:39] developers don't like to read docs!? WHAT! ;) [20:40] heh [20:40] unpossible [20:45] whoever is slamming doors needs to be kneecaped [20:45] +p [20:45] lol [20:46] it's also a little harder to hear people that are farther away from the mic...heh [20:46] need surround sound mics or something [20:46] :) [20:46] yeah [20:48] makes it hard to hear when you're already in a noisy office :) [20:49] mathiaz: do you have commit rights for docs? [20:49] sommer: no [20:50] mathiaz: okay, just wondering... all my patches have been commit by bhuzan :) [20:57] mathiaz: I think the wiki docs can be "translated" to docbook by hand before the freeze... especially with more help from the teams. [21:03] heh... emacs users under 30... that's funny [21:06] sommer: hm? [21:07] they were talking about it no me... don't shoot the messanger [21:07] yeah, it's rather hard to follow the discussions [21:08] it'd be cool to have video... then you could see who's talking, but probably take too much bandwidth [21:09] I can recognise a few of the voices === zobbo__ is now known as zobbo [21:10] * ajmitch wouldn't have minded being able to listen to the web app framework discussion [21:10] except that it was 3AM [21:10] mathiaz: thanks for relaying, I appreciate it. [21:10] sommer: np. [21:11] ajmitch: heh... ya it's nice to be in the same tz as Boston [21:11] hm, LDAP, a fairly important topic [21:18] did sound just cut out for anyone else, or am I just unlucky?
