[00:34] <jmarsden> Hawkey: I'm back... was my advice helpful? ;)
[00:37] <Hawkey> well not exactly:D
[00:38] <jmarsden> What have you discovered so far?
[00:38] <Hawkey> i discovered that 100% cpu time is producted when i start my binary via nohup
[00:39] <jmarsden> But not when started from a normal interactive shell prompt?
[00:40] <Hawkey> i connect on my ssh.. when i run app with binary , core one jumps on 100% usage.. when without nohup it's normal
[00:41] <jmarsden> OK.  Does your app ever read input from stdin?  I would expect it is not handling stdin begin connected to /dev/null very well?
[02:43] <Psi-Jack> Okay, here's a curious poll then. What filesystems to users here commonly use?
[02:56] <LoveGuru> ext3/ext2 / raid
[02:57] <hads> ext3 and jfs
[03:18] <LoveGuru> Kamping_Kaiser ?
[03:32] <jmarsden> help /topic
[03:48] <axisys_> how hard is it repartition a live ubuntu server.. i want make a separate partition for /home dir and move it off of / (root) partition
[03:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> axisys, you shouldnt resize live partitions (unless its on lvm iirc)
[03:51] <jtaji> shouldn't be a problem with /home if no users besides root are logged in
[03:51] <LoveGuru> Hay Kamping_Kaiser Welcome :) i m looking for ya :) if u are not bzy :<
[03:51] <jtaji> axisys: pretty easy... add new entry to fstab; mount /dev/<newhomedevice> /mnt; cp -a /home/* /mnt; umount /mnt; mount /home
[03:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> jtaji, sounds like its on / , so unless its moving to a new drive it migh be a problem
[03:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> LoveGuru, you should just ask the channel, if i know, i'll talk  :)
[03:52] <jmarsden> axisys_: Shut down server, boot from live CD, shrink existing / partition, create new ext2fs on freed-up empty space, then do what jtaji suggested, basically.
[03:53] <jmarsden> s/ext2fs/ext3fs/
[03:53] <LoveGuru> Kamping_Kaiser: well i tried :< anyways fine thanx.. i really glad to see ya again :) tx
[03:53] <jtaji> axisys: yep my advice should be preceded by what jmarsden said
[03:53] <jtaji> axisys: then if it's working, you can delete stuff from the /home on your root while in the live system with: mount --bind / /mnt; rm -rf /mnt/home/*; umount /mnt
[03:55] <axisys_> ok.. so has to be booted from cd first.. ok.. no way to adjust the / partition size while running.. that is what I thought.. thanks
[03:55] <jtaji> axisys: right that's the only reason you need to reboot is to resize
[03:56] <axisys_> jtaji: yep
[03:56] <LoveGuru> Well im trying to setup a server, i Just want to know that.. how can i use some custom authorization like. if i add user so first of all that user can't cd or view any other users directories, other thing i want to set diskspace allocated so user can just that allocated space, same thing with compiler authorization without my permission user can't compile or gcc to anything else, can i do that?
[03:58] <jmarsden> LoveGuru: Sounds like you want (a) jails for each user (b) disk quotas and (c) chown 0700 /usr/bin/gcc and all its friends.
[03:58] <LoveGuru> jmarsden: correct
[03:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> d. not install gcc to start with (and put it in a chroot)
[03:59] <jmarsden> LoveGuru: So.. yes, you can do that :)
[04:00] <LoveGuru> jmarsden, well i m learn all those stuff, so how can i ? Please if u have Brief tutorial or info that can help me out with sort of those things? all help really appriciateable.
[04:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> debian hardening guide
[04:02] <jmarsden> Have you already googled for each of them and the two words "ubuntu" and "tutorial" ?  There should be several on chroot jails... I think you can Google as well as I can?  I'll find you a tutorial on disk quotas...
[04:03] <LoveGuru> jmarsden: sure.
[04:03] <LoveGuru> Kamping_Kaiser: debian hardening guide?
[04:06] <jmarsden> LoveGuru: Third hit googling for ubuntu disk quota howto leads to: http://computingtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-linux-disk-quotas.html
[04:07] <jmarsden> LoveGuru: Try googling for debian hardening guide too :-)
[04:07] <LoveGuru> jmarsden: so the debian guide work with ubuntu server? well its sort of debian. but still wanna know ?
[04:08] <jmarsden> The principles are the same, yes.
[04:08] <LoveGuru> Alright Thankyou so much.
[04:08] <LoveGuru> Kamping_Kaiser: thanks you too.
[04:09] <LoveGuru> jmarsden: is there anyhow i can make script,? and put all this thing together and run with each user should it work? or not?
[04:10] <jmarsden> I don't understand the question.  Yes, if you know how to write scripts, you can write them and run them...?
[04:10] <jmarsden> Whether they work depends on how well you wrote them ;)
[04:11] <LoveGuru> ahh .. exactly thats what my question answer is.
[04:11] <LoveGuru> :)
[04:11] <LoveGuru> thankx :)

[05:39] <axisys> how do I make the link full duplex? line 517 in my dmesg shows it is half duplex
[05:54] <jmarsden> axisys: It should be autonegotiated with the switch port you are connected to.  Unless you messed with the switch configuration?  Duplex mismatch is bad... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_mismatch
[05:58] <axisys> jmarsden: looking at the wiki
[06:00] <axisys> how do I find out what my server is set to? also how do I force it full assuming switch is full
[06:00] <jmarsden> Unless you have a configurable switch and played games with it, everything autoconfigures.  I've not had to manually set half duplex/full duplex for... at least 8 years...
[06:01] <jmarsden> Are you seeing the symptoms of duplex mismatch -- VERY slow networking when transferring files, etc?
[06:01] <jmarsden> If not, leave it all alone.
[06:02] <axisys> what tool to check the nic stat beside the dmesg for the server?
[06:04] <jmarsden> I'm not sure, it's been too long.  May be NIC-specific?  grep the log files in /var/log/ maybe?
[06:05] <jmarsden> If the output of ifconfig shows no errors, there is a VERY high probability all is well.
