superflynuvolari: no, he seems to think that there's a set of leaders who organise stuff for Ubuntu, and that everyone is an expert and a sysadmin or developer05:30

Symmetriamirror.ac.za will be going down in a bit 15:53
Symmetriaprobably the next hour or two15:53
Symmetriaand will be down for a while15:53
Symmetriaprobably 6 to 8 hours at least15:53
tumbleweedgood luck :)15:53
Symmetriaheh well, patrick busy rackmounting the new server15:54
Symmetriaafter that it gets interesting15:54
Symmetrianext step is to go to reef facility, pull the PCI-E 10G nic and 2 x PCI-E percs outta it15:54
Symmetriaand put them + 3 SAN's in th ecar15:55
Symmetriatake those to wits and rackmount them :P15:55
Symmetriathis server is gigantic15:55
Symmetria:P15:55
Symmetriait has 1100 watt PSU's15:55
Symmetriahaha15:55
Tonberryja good luck15:57
Symmetriaheh, 64gigs of ram and 12 3.4ghz cpu cores 15:57
* Symmetria loves15:58
Tonberryo015:59
Tonberrydamn15:59
superflySymmetria: only 12 CPUs?16:04
Symmetriaheh superfly 2 cpus, 6 core xeons, dont need more than that for mirroring16:08
Symmetriaheh, they are the new fancy xeon 6 core shit, *shrug* 16:08
Symmetriaheh, combined with that much cpu power and that much ram and the 60 odd TB of disk space attached though, all should be good16:09
Symmetria:P16:09
Symmetriaand it looks like we're expanding the disk space to 120TB as well16:09
Tonberrysomehow i can not see how you could possibly need even that much for mirroring16:09
SymmetriaTonberry the disk space?16:10
Symmetriaheh, oh, we can definately use that, infact, a lot more than that16:11
Tonberryno cpus16:11
Symmetriaif I was carrying the full mirror data I need to actually carry, I'd need 3.2 petabytes16:11
Tonberrydisk space i can easily see how 60tb is too little :p16:11
SymmetriaTonberry heh, you havent seen how much cpu a machine can chew when its got 15k+ connections hitting it at once16:11
Tonberrytrue16:11
Tonberrywait16:12
Tonberryhow much damn bandwidth does that thing have access too?16:12
Tonberryto*16:12
SymmetriaTonberry errr national and international combined?16:14
Symmetriatechnically it would peak out on its network card before it actually ran outta bandwidth on any of the links16:14
Symmetriabut its network card is a 10G fiber card 16:14
Tonberryoh16:14
Tonberryok16:14
Symmetriathe router its connected to has *works it out*16:14
Tonberrysuddenly 12 cores does not seem so excessive 16:14
Symmetria42 gigabit of bandwidth into it16:15
Symmetriawait, its more than that16:15
Symmetria10 x backbone to capetown (where it meets 10gig to Neotel, 10gig to IS, 10gig to CINX), 10 x backbone to Pretoria where it meets 10gig to London, then 30gig to Rosebank where it meets 10gig to JINX, 11gig to I.S and 1 gig to Neotel16:16
Symmetriaso 50gig into the backend of the router its connected to at 10gig :P 16:16
Tonberry0o16:17
Symmetriaheh Tonberry put it this way, I was testing to London at 6gigabit/second16:19
