[00:09] preferably in a way that doesn't cause them to be completely out of sync [00:09] Happy new year all [00:10] Happy New Year Slyboots XD [00:30] Gadu: you may enjoy this: http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html [02:14] hi [02:14] how do i run php under a different user? [02:15] there is something called suphp. that's about as much details I have though [02:17] would running php in a su'ed shell script be any good? [02:19] byebyefn [02:22] fucking ubuntu.. grr [02:22] Is there a way ot see..um.. [02:22] What my disk usage is like? [02:22] Sort of like Top? but for Disk/Network utilization? [02:23] iotop? [02:23] Is there just a freaking top program for everything? [02:25] Hmm.. [02:25] 30M/sec read [02:25] Which is.. smbf [02:25] Seems slow [02:28] Its hard to know what sort of speed I *should* be expecting though [02:30] I mean.. GigE is about what? 125M/Sec [02:31] A 7200RPM is what.. half that? [02:39] Okay this doesnt really addup [02:40] Hdparm states it can read from the disk at about 75MB/sec [02:40] Its GigE networking [02:40] So whyt does the laptop trasfer files at 20/30M/sec [02:43] Slyboots: compose yourself [02:43] Hm [02:47] Sorry; Im just trying to work out why Im getitng so much (apparent) performance loss on my NAS) [02:48] Slyboots: i've never met anyone who was happy with their i/o [02:50] hehe; But it seems a lot slower than what i should be getting.. 20M/sec over Samba.. [02:51] Slyboots: try some other protocol and compare [02:52] AYe; Been trying to get nfs to work but.. meh.. thats another story [04:20] 7/ === deegee_ is now known as deegee [08:35] Morning. Anyone here experienced with wifi networks? I'm having some problems at home .. I'm getting packet loss to the router, and it's working quite unstable in general. I have a D-Link DIR-615. There are about 15 wifi networks in the area, so I'm suspecting interference, but forcing the channel to the most lone one (1) didn't make any noticable difference. Any suggestions ? [08:55] milligan: hardly an ubuntu server question, but have you tried to change channel? [09:01] "but forcing the channel to the most lone one (1) didn't make any noticable difference" :) [09:03] g or n wlan? [09:11] It's set to run b/g or n [09:12] ok [09:12] have you tried connection with another computer? [09:13] not at the moment .. this computer has been working fine before though. [09:13] seems to be either broken wlan-router or just bad network coverage due walls etc [09:13] tried booting this computer as well. [09:13] the router is about 0,5 meter away from me, with absolutely nothing in between us :) [09:13] and the router is brand new .. got it for me father in law for xmas [09:15] perhaps it would help setting it to n only.. ? Or would I maybe render the network useless to older machines then ? [09:15] well, can you move your computer more away from router, wlan's signal can be poor if you sit too close to router [09:15] well, if you change it to n only it gives you better signal, less noise [09:15] and ofcourse, if your old computer doesn't support n, you cannot use it [09:17] What's CTS mdoe? [09:17] And are long or short preambles best ? [09:33] Locked it to channel 1 again and made some tweaking to the encrpytion method .. seems better now [10:55] hi all. I have a private server at an ISP, and I want to setup a tunnel between my laptop and that server. server runs ubuntu 10.04.1LTS and client is OS X. Is it possible/trivial to do this with strongswan or something? [10:56] i would use openvpn [10:57] ok [10:59] erm.. any idea where to find a howto on that?

I created a raid5 with sda5 sdb5 sdc5. Then i run pvcreate /dev/md2 (my created raid). Then this appears: Wiping software RAID md superblock on After a reboot the system is not able to boot anymore. Then in mdstat there is a new array md2 which has sda sdb sdc as drives. What da hell is going on with it? I am using ubuntu 10.04 [19:24] and if it's important: I am using GPT. [19:30] did you create raid on running system or in installation? [19:33] i tried both [19:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [19:35] There is no hint about that problem.... [19:38] well, did you do it like that document tells you to do? [19:41] Yes i created it like that and everything works fine until i execute pvcreate /dev/md2. After that the system thinks the raid is based on physical devices not the sda5 , sdb5 and sdc5 partitions. So after coming up (after pvcreate) the whole system is killed by mdadm, cause all my partitions are overwritten by the sync. [19:42] i am using three 2TB WD HDD's. So i also have to use GPT as partition table format. [19:42] I often created raid arrays, but never had such strange problems. [19:42] what does GPT have to do with MD? [19:43] just use the disk devices [19:43] no need to partition them [19:45] sda,sdb... === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere [19:48] I want my system partitions in a raid1 configuration and only my data partitions in raid5 [19:48] on the same drives? [19:48] yes [19:48] bad idea imho [19:49] get some old 20GB ATA drives for the root [19:49] use new stuff for the data [19:49] a couple of usb pen drives will work well for the root [19:49] I ony have 4 sata ports 3 for my drives and 1 for DVD. So i can't add another hdd. [19:50] okay, i will try with USB. Is the boot time slow with USB? [19:50] doesn't matter much - how often do you reboot? [19:51] usb pen drives will probaly work as fast as your spinning ones for that use [19:52] also, a new sata controller will probably cost you $50 or less :P [19:54] but i need the only pci-e slot i have for another card.... [19:54] just use a pen drive for the root [19:55] or two [19:57] Yes, i am currently installing on the pen drive. Hope it will work! Should i add swapspace on the pendrive? [20:01] And i will have to do a normal installation no special pen drive stuff or something else, right? [20:07] pen drive installation is really slow an i was reading that the boot time is about 60 seconds or more [20:20] but i still think it's a big bug that the lvm wipes my md superblock and then the system thinks the array is based on the physical drives [20:22] dob_: it doesn't matter much - once the system has booted, everything will be in ram [20:22] dob_: well, it works like it should [20:22] * RoyK would recommend something like openindiana and zfs for data storage, though [20:22] yea [20:23] zfs is amazing for data storage [20:23] * RoyK has a couple of 100TB systems running on openindiana [20:23] Can i create a raid5 and then place my root on it? Is it possible to boot from a software raid5? [20:23] no [20:23] it's only possible to boot from raid1 [20:23] when using software-raid [20:24] http://pastebin.com/p3ids68M [20:25] dob_: if this is a storage machine, please consider using something with native zfs - it rocks [20:26] if it's a general purpose machine, openindiana and the likes will be harder to manage than ubuntu [20:26] nice, but i need linux, cause i want to create a TV-Streaming server for my homenetwork. So i need DVB devices etc. [20:26] ic [20:26] then perhaps zfs fuse [20:27] it's quite bad on write performance, but good on reads [20:27] apt-get install zfs-fuse [20:27] i worked with opensolaris for a storage system [20:27] ok [20:27] wasn't there any native implementation? [20:27] I heared about that... [20:27] there's one in the works, but I guess it takes some months for it to finish [20:28] but recent zfs-fuse should be quite good for read performance [20:28] albeit a bit low on the writes [20:28] RoyK: but it doesn't support all zfs features [20:29] like snapshots [20:29] huh? I'm quite sure it does [20:29] https://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/ [20:31] RoyK: at least it didn't support snapshot etc earlier when i tried it [20:31] i'm not sure do they have implemented them yet [20:31] there's issues with zfs and linux, because zfs's license isn't good enough for linux kernel [20:31] * RoyK checks [20:31] with zfs in userspace, there's no problem [20:32] what about btrfs? [20:34] not stable [20:34] btw, zfs snapshots work with ubuntu 10.10 [20:34] just tested [20:34] ok [20:34] so they have implemented it [20:34] great [20:34] :) [20:44] dob_: using btrfs in production is playing with matches and gazoline [20:47] i am not sure what i should do now.... USB pen drive seems to slow for regular boot. BTRFS is unstable, ZFS with fuse looks a bit like a hack, mdadm raid5 does not work with lvm in my configuration. [20:48] Can i grow/resize the md2 partition without lvm? [20:48] zfs fuse is quite stable [20:48] no [20:48] don't think so [20:49] boot time shouldn't be a problem - how often do you really boot the system? after bootup, most of the stuff is cached in ram [20:49] with zfs fuse i can create a raid-Z? [20:49] yes [20:49] zpool create mypool raidz somedev anotherdev .... [20:50] i am booting very often [20:50] why? [20:50] the system is going to S3 if not used. [20:50] the important thing is data access, not boot times [20:51] s3? [20:52] suspend mode [20:53] it's a home server, media, video, streaming system [20:53] that doesn't mean it's being rebooted [20:53] the system is turned off, everything will be removed from RAM [20:54] please try zfs - see how it works [20:54] okay, thank u, i will try that!!! [20:54] zpool create somepool raidz2 sda sdb sdc [20:54] something like that [20:54] erm - or raidz [20:55] raidz2 is double parity [20:55] zpool create somepool raidz2 sda5 sdb5 sdc5 should also work, right? [20:55] erm raidz [20:55] it should, yes, but aren't you booting on an usb stick? [20:56] thinking about creating raid1 on boot and root and use zfs for my data, so i would not need to install on usb ( read performance ) [20:57] i will try both solutions.... [20:57] thank u! [20:57] performance is what you need for data, not system [20:57] the system will boot up quite quickly on usb [20:58] and using whole drives will help you move the system to something new when that's needed [20:58] imho Never mix system and data drives [21:03] okay, i will try that. Thanks a lot! [21:05] dob_: also, if you find zfs-fuse to be too slow, keeping the data drives alone is still a good thing, even with md or lvm [21:33] <_Techie_> is it possible to take a pre existing drive with data, and add a new drive and JBOD them together and expand the partition to cover the full JBOD? [21:33] <_Techie_> or does this require backing up the data, creating the JBOD and re formatting the drives [21:57] _Techie_: first question, are you using LVM? [21:59] <_Techie_> pmatulis, no [22:00] <_Techie_> i would like to point out that its just an idea at the moment, i dont have an extra drive at the moment, i just want to discuss ways of doing it so i can backup data in advance if need be [22:03] _Techie_: with lvm it's possible, not without it [22:04] <_Techie_> also, what are the extents of ext2, how large can a single partition be, and what are the limits on file size? [22:07] _Techie_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2 [22:07] <_Techie_> tyvm gobbe [22:09] my little souvenirs from my last trip to iceland http://karlsbakk.net/xray.png [22:10] what did you do?-) [22:10] <_Techie_> RoyK, just incase you hadnt noticed, you have a metal mar and a bunch of screws in your ankle =P [22:12] * RoyK did notice
