extorwhat the hell...this server was giving me mad drive i/o errors when it was in the rack but now at home it's acting perfect06:47
kozmundTried it in the rack without hooking up the network cable? Maybe a power conditioning issue? Murphy having his way with you?07:02
kozmundI have a variety of suggestions but I'd generally recommend isolating variables like power, load, vibration, light, smell, etc.07:05
kozmundSeveral of those are overly silly, but you get the idea.07:06
qman__vibration, and by association, noise, are especially pertinent to hard drives07:10

ehcahhello. if I have 2 DL380 G4's in my rack. The first is production, the second is test. My production box is starting to give me trouble. Can I remove the 2 mirrored drives from production and reboot the test box to become production? Would the only problem become the MAC address of my original product eth0 NIC? Sorry if this is a stupid question.15:04
joschiehcah: if your test box has similar (or better identical) hardware it shouldn't be a problem.15:17
=== rgreening_ is now known as ghost
joschiehcah: and for the MAC address: just clean/modify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules before migrating15:17

coafcvhi. I have a public/private key pair in ~/.ssh for my server, however I didn't specify it when connecting: ssh <ip-here> -l <username>. But I still could connect without being asked for the password. how's that possible? how does ssh know which key to use?15:41
hggdhcoafcv: by default it will use your ~/.ssh/id_rsa*15:48
coafcvhggdh: I have no such files. I renamed all key files.15:49
ehcahjoschi: I forgot to clean the 70-per... file before my reboot.15:53
ehcahWent in after a successfull boot and not appear to have eth0~3 in a dual NIC box.15:53
coafcvis it possible to be noobish enough to allow keyless and passwordless logins and I accidentally did that?15:53
coafcvor is there something else going on?15:54
ehcahCan I rename eth2 & 3 back to 0 & 1 and reboot? After deleting the faulty lines?15:54
joschiehcah: yes. just edit the 70-persistent-net.rules file accordingly15:56
ehcahOk. I tried it anyway and rebooted. I think this machine has eth1 with a smaller last digit MAC ID then eth0.15:57
ehcahMy other box is smaller on eth0 if that makes sense. I must have reversed them.15:58
ehcahone last question. are all networking services defaulted to either eth0 or eth1? Meaning that I do not have to change any other files?16:00
joschiehcah: just check /etc/network/interfaces to be sure16:02

jo-erlendubuntu server fits well in that space.20:39

jo-erlendno.20:40
jo-erlendit uses tasksel to let you choose which services you want. If you don't choose any, then only the base system is installed.20:40

Name141the server edition is too big for me to download now too, 672MBs20:43
_Techie_jo-erlend, its a cd with just the installer20:43
jo-erlendoh, ok. Then that sounds like a good choice.20:43
Name141My daily bandwidth cap is 425MBs, which my meter is showing 382MBs left20:44

_Techie_im suggestign it because i know it works, and its almost impossible to screw up and select a wrong option21:09
Name141all the files are burnt properly, I put it in this machine and can see them with explorer21:10
Name141rather than an ISO file21:10

Name141to see21:11
_Techie_anyway, im heading off very soon21:11
