[01:39] <Nafallo> we had cpanel on top...
[01:39] <r00tintheb0x> Right.
[01:39] <r00tintheb0x> cpanel is okay.
[01:39] <r00tintheb0x> I work for a software dev company...
[01:39] <Nafallo> no. it really isn't.
[01:39] <r00tintheb0x> Thats good for webhosting though.
[01:39] <Nafallo> cpanel is a pile of crap.
[01:39] <r00tintheb0x> Yeah, it trashes things quite a bit.
[01:40] <r00tintheb0x> lol!
[01:40] <r00tintheb0x> I didn't want to offend anyone.

[08:03] <nxvl> there is a work on intrepid for this
[08:03] <nxvl> you need to ask kirkland about it
[08:03] <nxvl> but i hardy doubt he's arounf right now
[08:04] <nxvl> but, you always send him an e-mail
[08:04] <kaushal> nxvl, are you referring to me

[08:06] <kaushal> ok
[08:06] <kaushal> so is there any other option to know that
[08:07] <nxvl> netstat -na | grep "LISTEN "
[08:07] <nxvl> assuming that your system is in english
[08:07] <nxvl> it will show you the open ports

[15:59] <phaidros> how to deal with missing linux-xen: Depends: linux-restricted-modules-xen (= 2.6.24.21.23) which is a virtual package. ??
[15:59] <phaidros> obviously restricted modules are not there in the right version.
[16:01] <phaidros> ah, it seems it is a multiverse dependency :-/
[16:01] <phaidros> hm, so I know how to deal with it.
[16:01] <phaidros> thanks for listening :)
[16:39] <phaidros> well, I'm stuck with a chrooted raid1 server install. any mdadm gurus around?
[16:40] <ivoks> what's up? :)
[17:05] <phaidros> well, the problem was either I remounted proc wronlgy (-o bind instead of -t proc) *or* grub was to dumb to realize md0 is an array ..
[17:05] <phaidros> well, I'd go for blaming myself :D
[17:06] <phaidros> as this is a new machine, I have the chance to think about disk encryption for e.g. xen hosts .. bothering me is the problem of e.g. power outtages.
[17:06] <phaidros> any ideas how to handle such a thing like remote machine with passwords needed on boot ?
[17:16] <phaidros> argh, this damn mdadm always uses the whole disks as raid, not the configured partitions ..
[17:23] <flyback> mmm
[17:23] <flyback> xen owns your "canuck"
[17:23] <flyback> least I have heard
[17:23] <flyback> we use vmware server and esxi at work it's decent
[17:23] <flyback> but I heard good things about sex
[17:25] <phaidros> sex??
[17:27] <phaidros> well, independent of which virtualization: how would a practicable encryption of vm devices look like?
[17:30] <phaidros> ah, I now get more info from mdadm. there is somehow a raid0 still there. just from a first test ..
[17:30] <phaidros> a771861a
[17:30] <phaidros> sry. wrong paste :)
[17:30] <phaidros> http://pastie.org/280874
[17:30] <phaidros> how to get rid of it?
[17:44] <phaidros> howto remove a mdadm definition of a hd (sda)
[17:44] <phaidros> ?
[17:49] <phaidros> :(
[17:51] <phaidros> sudo mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda :)
[18:00] <flyback> phaidros, sorry
[18:00] <flyback> esx not sex
[18:00] <flyback> brain fart
[18:01] <flyback> I never understood linux's software raid tools well sorry
[18:01] <flyback> but there are lots of channels and probably people here that can
[18:12] <phaidros> flyback: yeah I find mdadm quite non-intuitive ..
[18:23] <[Solars]> ivoks love raids :P
[19:11] <[Solars]> apprently i screwd up something during the install
[19:11] <[Solars]> my /dev/md2 is a raid 5 ment to be used as swap
[19:12] <[Solars]> but it is not being mounted and its not being used
[19:12] <[Solars]> best way to fix this?
[19:21]  * flyback bbl
[19:21] <phaidros> [Solars]: well, I'm all but an expert here :)
[19:22] <phaidros> but: /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf (on ubuntu) cretes you a nice mdadm.conf for a setup arry
[19:48] <[Solars]> phaidros the raid is already created
[19:48] <[Solars]> its just not mounted
[19:49] <[Solars]> dunno if i have to mod eth fstab or not
[19:49] <[Solars]> or even how to mount it
[19:50]  * flyback ponders how much crap he is going to break in his 2k vm doing a repair install of 2k noSP over 2k sp4 but since the vm died anyways guess it doesn't matter
[19:56] <phaidros> [Solars]: did you create a swap inside? (mkswap /dev/mdX) and did you put it in fstab ?
[19:56] <phaidros> [Solars]: you can check with swapon -a (enable all from fstab)
[19:56] <phaidros> and: swapon -s (show all swaps)
[19:57] <phaidros> fstab entry looks like this: # #/dev/sdb2       swap            swap    defaults,pri=1  0 0
[19:57] <phaidros> or better, when you create the swap you get told an new UUID, so then use this in fstab:
[19:58] <phaidros> UUID=5c30a82b-bb8c-4cd5-b418-cb667aa5ea9c pri=1            swap    sw              0       0
[19:58] <phaidros> you can ignore the pri=1, I use it only, because I have 2 swaps, same prio
[20:27] <phaidros> damn, the server kernel boots easily, xen not .. :(
[20:45] <phaidros> the installation of mdadm *after* a new kernel in chroot should point out that initrd has be rebuilt !!!
[20:45] <phaidros> :)
[21:41] <[Solars]> erm phaidros sorry for the delay i'll look into that
[21:43] <[Solars]> phaidros when i try to do swapon -a i get an error
[21:43] <[Solars]> didn't do mkswap /dev/mdX
[21:43] <[Solars]> the error is
[21:45] <[Solars]> swapon: cannot canonicaliz /dev/disk/by-uuid/<some long alphanumeric string> no such file or directory
[21:45] <[Solars]> also says it cannot stat it
[21:47] <[Solars]> and looking in /etc/fstab
[21:47] <[Solars]> it appearse that the /etc/md2 isn't mounted anywhere
[21:50] <[Solars]> "UUID=<alphanumeric string> none swap sw 0 0
[22:31] <[Solars]> \/me wonders ivok will come back :P
[22:48] <uvirtbot> New bug: #275608 in openvpn (universe) "nm-openvpn swaps ca and cert in openvpn commandline" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/275608
[23:15] <phaidros> [Solars]: easy thing: the uuid of your fstab entry is not the same as of the actual swap partition
[23:15] <phaidros> just mkswap again and use that uuid in fstab
[23:40] <[Solars]> phaidros erm kk i'll try that again
[23:42] <[Solars]> mkswap didn't work, "sudo mkswap /dev/md2" says area must be 40KB in size
[23:42] <[Solars]> so i have a feeling this is a raid issue
[23:49] <phaidros> [Solars]: what does cat /proc/mdstat say?
[23:50] <phaidros> and: fdisk -l /dev/md2
[23:51] <[Solars]> it says inactive
[23:51] <[Solars]> for /dev/md2
[23:51] <[Solars]> and fdisk -l shows nothig
[23:51] <[Solars]> or rather returned nothing
[23:52] <phaidros> inactive then it is not assembled
[23:53] <phaidros> so, either try mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbX [all devices]
[23:53] <phaidros> or mdadm --assemble --scan
[23:53] <phaidros> (it tries to guess)
[23:53] <phaidros> hehe, I had alot to do with that mdadm last 20 hours :)
[23:54] <phaidros> mdadm --create foo bar writes superblocks for the selected devices once and assembles them.
[23:54] <phaidros> after that mdadm --assemle is the tool to enable this raid device
[23:55] <phaidros> create is only used initially
[23:55] <[Solars]> says its already active
[23:56] <[Solars]> also appears that there are missing parts of raid in mdstat
[23:57] <[Solars]> missing "sdd2"
[23:57] <[Solars]> the line reads
[23:57] <phaidros> hmmm
[23:57] <phaidros> then further to things I didn't try myself :D
[23:58] <[Solars]> md2 : inactive sda2[0] sdb2[2] sdc2[1]
[23:58] <[Solars]> should be a raid 5 with 4 disks
[23:58] <phaidros> hm, ok
[23:59] <[Solars]> lemme fdisk sdd and see if it has the partition
[23:59] <[Solars]> yepp its listed
[23:59] <phaidros> mdadm --add /dev/md2 /dev/sdd2
[23:59]  * [Solars] really should load up an irc client over there
[23:59] <phaidros> get a shell, screen plus irssi :D
