| Cheri703 | any good recommendations for cloning a hdd? I'm seeing dd, but didn't know if there are others | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| deejoe | first, you get an hdd oocyte, and remove its nucleus . . . | 00:09 |
| deejoe | srsly, though, Cheri703, I like to sfdisk -d /dev/sdfoo > sdfoo.sfdisk | 00:10 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...k | 00:10 |
| deejoe | and then apply that to the target disk | 00:10 |
| deejoe | (assuming same size) | 00:10 |
| Cheri703 | going from 160gb hdd to external 500gb | 00:10 |
| deejoe | hmm | 00:10 |
| Cheri703 | have to send in netbook for repairs | 00:10 |
| deejoe | in general, I like to partition the new drive, make a filesystem on it (mkfs), mount up the new drive, rsync stuff to it | 00:11 |
| deejoe | dd feels too black-box for my tastes | 00:11 |
| Cheri703 | well, I want to put it back when I get the computer back | 00:11 |
| deejoe | some people like 'dump' and 'restore' | 00:11 |
| Cheri703 | what do you mean "black-box"? | 00:12 |
| deejoe | as in, it just shovels a bunch of bits over | 00:12 |
| deejoe | no error checking | 00:12 |
| Cheri703 | k | 00:12 |
| deejoe | no ability to restart | 00:12 |
| deejoe | so, if the dd gets interrupted, you have to start over from the very beginning. | 00:13 |
| deejoe | rsync is smart enough not to copy everything again if a partial copy has been made | 00:13 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...k | 00:13 |
| deejoe | but, you don't get the boot sector and stuff | 00:13 |
| deejoe | it's . . . complicated | 00:14 |
| Cheri703 | I'd like to be able to boot from it, so I can use it with other laptop, then clone new info back to netbook | 00:14 |
| Unit193 | I do the lazyman way with Clonezilla | 00:14 |
| deejoe | Unit193 might be your go-to person on this. | 00:14 |
| Cheri703 | Unit193: does clonezilla copy EVERYTHING? | 00:15 |
| Cheri703 | as in, bootable drive? | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | Yeah! | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | I did it twice (once on XP) | 00:15 |
| Cheri703 | kk | 00:15 |
| Cheri703 | hmmm...k | 00:15 |
| Unit193 | You KNOW if windows can handle it, linux really can | 00:15 |
| Cheri703 | does it wipe the destination drive? (as in, could I keep info on it, or do I need to clear it? | 00:16 |
| Unit193 | You could move it onto another partition (I think) | 00:16 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...k | 00:17 |
| Unit193 | LiveCD (menu style) | 00:17 |
| canthus13 | bah. I just use dd. | 00:27 |
| canthus13 | Speaking of which, I need to back up the windows install on wife's other drive and resize it so she can dual boot to use Steam. | 00:28 |
| Cheri703 | back in a while, hopefully after cloning | 00:57 |
| Cheri703 | transferring junk off of external hdd :/ | 01:33 |
| Cheri703 | taking forever | 01:33 |
| deejoe | yes, it will | 01:33 |
| Cheri703 | luckily I just cleared space on my desktop | 01:33 |
| * deejoe got to read another friend complain about xferring 160GB at the end of last week | 01:33 | |
| Cheri703 | luckily it's not much | 01:33 |
| Cheri703 | I was able to get rid of a bunch of crap from it | 01:34 |
| canthus13 | Hmm. | 02:40 |
| Cheri703 | ? | 02:40 |
| canthus13 | Fighting with wireless and my new router. | 02:41 |
| Cheri703 | ah | 02:41 |
| Cheri703 | ooo, that reminds me | 02:41 |
| Cheri703 | brb | 02:41 |
| canthus13 | Can't seem to mount my nfs shares now. :( | 02:42 |
| canthus13 | Some of them, anyway... | 02:42 |
| canthus13 | This is the WEIRDEST problem. I installed a new router... Now, as soon as I start rsync, it kills my ssh connection to a different machine. I can ssh into another machine and then back over to the target machine, but I can't ssh directly to it. | 03:11 |
| canthus13 | ...and this persists even after stopping rsync. | 03:12 |
| canthus13 | ...for a while. now it's working. | 03:12 |
| Unit193 | ufw or anything like that? | 03:15 |
| canthus13 | nope. | 03:16 |
| canthus13 | didn't have any issues like this until I installed the new router. | 03:16 |
| canthus13 | It's a Linksys E2000. | 03:16 |
| Unit193 | F/W? | 03:16 |
| * canthus13 is poking around the config options right now. | 03:16 | |
| canthus13 | F/W? Firewall? Firmware? | 03:17 |
| Unit193 | Firmware... (don't think that would be an issue, just fun) | 03:18 |
| canthus13 | 1.0.0.3 Stock firmware.. I've had it a little over an hour.. not enough time to install DD-WRT. :) | 03:19 |
| canthus13 | Anyway. time to reboot my server and see if it freaks out. | 03:20 |
| Unit193 | DD-WRT?? not Tomato? (or TomatoUSB) | 03:20 |
| canthus13 | Tomato won't install on an E2000. | 03:21 |
| Unit193 | http://tomatousb.org/doc:build-types | 03:21 |
| canthus13 | Ah. cool. | 03:22 |
| Unit193 | Can you tell what I like better ;) | 03:22 |
| canthus13 | Heh. I'm fine with the stock firmware for now. | 03:23 |
| canthus13 | anyway.. back in a few, as long as the server doesn't freak. | 03:24 |
| TLBulous | hello? | 05:19 |
| * Cheri703 is running from cloned stuff on external hdd :) | 06:35 | |
| Derath-Srvr | wb | 15:04 |
| Cheri703 | hi | 15:05 |
| o0splitpaw0o | hi | 15:06 |
| Cheri703 | I get to apply for my passport today! :D | 15:08 |
| Derath-Srvr | Cool | 15:11 |
| === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 | ||
| Derath-Srvr | having connection issues Cheri? | 15:18 |
| Cheri703 | that was weird | 15:18 |
| Cheri703 | I'm running from my external hdd, and everything went wonky | 15:19 |
| Cheri703 | anyway, what I'd tried to say before it crapped out is: I'm applying for my passport today! | 15:19 |
| Derath-Srvr | Cool! | 15:19 |
| Derath-Srvr | iirc, make sure to take 2+ forms of picture IDs... | 15:20 |
| Cheri703 | well, it says birth certificate and drivers license | 15:21 |
| Derath-Srvr | Ah | 15:22 |
| Derath-Srvr | That should work then :) | 15:22 |
| Derath-Srvr | It's been a long time since I looked into that... | 15:22 |
| Cheri703 | I've never had one | 15:24 |
| Derath-Srvr | I looked into it several years back when I thought I wanted to take a trip... | 15:24 |
| Derath-Srvr | Never got past the research part... | 15:24 |
| Derath-Srvr | lots of things happened and I decided the trip wasn't in the near future lol | 15:26 |
| Cheri703 | heh, yeah, that has happened to me before | 15:29 |
| Cheri703 | now I have to have it in less than a month! hooray rush processing! | 15:30 |
| Derath-Srvr | lol | 15:32 |

| BiosElement | Anyone interested in the future of the CubeCreate Project: www.goo.gl/WlXvI (Convore discussion) | 20:37 |
| BiosElement | Anyone around? Need domain name advice: Anyone like the name bioshub.com? | 22:18 |
| dmcglone | Hello everyone | 22:18 |
| dmcglone | gonna sell bios chips? | 22:18 |
| BiosElement | Heh, It's actually a reference to the Latin word :P | 22:19 |
| BiosElement | Meaning life heh | 22:19 |
| dmcglone | well thats what came to mind when you asked about it :-/ | 22:20 |
| BiosElement | I figured heh | 22:20 |
| dmcglone | If I seen the name in a search engine, thats what I'd assume :-/ | 22:21 |
| BiosElement | dmcglone: Some would, yes. I'm actually a fan of the double meaning myself. | 22:21 |
| dmcglone | I don't blame you, it would help with traffic :-) | 22:22 |
| BiosElement | haha, perhaps :P | 22:22 |
| dmcglone | biosboy would too | 22:22 |
| dmcglone | lol | 22:22 |
| BiosElement | Technically a Bios is the 'life' of a PC as well so it's got a pretty sweet meaning behind it | 22:22 |
| BiosElement | Going to see if I can get BiosHub.com to flow a bit better though | 22:23 |
| dmcglone | true, very true | 22:23 |
| * BiosElement is totally a jackass, stealing the -Hub idea from github | 22:23 | |
| dmcglone | I don't see how. I see the word everywhere | 22:23 |
| dmcglone | I used "centeral" | 22:24 |
| BiosElement | Yeah, I was thinking of using it but it was a wee bit long for my taste | 22:24 |
| dmcglone | I tried to give my site the feel of a city | 22:25 |
| dmcglone | lol | 22:25 |
| dmcglone | like the metropolis | 22:26 |
| BiosElement | Yeah | 22:28 |
| dmcglone | are you thinking of starting a blog? | 22:28 |
| BiosElement | Nah, I already own BiosElement.com, I'm working on a F/OSS project that needs a more generic domain the CubeCreate heh | 22:28 |
| dmcglone | yeah I remember that | 22:29 |
| BiosElement | biosbay.com? >.> | 22:34 |
| BiosElement | heh | 22:34 |
| dmcglone | but that doesn't say much about the project | 22:35 |
| BiosElement | True heh | 22:36 |
| dmcglone | why not use cubecreate.com? | 22:37 |
| BiosElement | Ahh I may well end up using it heh | 22:38 |
| dmcglone | are you going to be looking for hosting also? | 22:49 |
| BiosElement | Ahh I've got a linode squared away from the previous project. | 22:53 |
| dmcglone | cool | 22:53 |
| BiosElement | Pretty big fan of them ^_^ | 22:53 |
| dmcglone | I'm checking them out now | 22:56 |
| BiosElement | Best deal around for quality VPS's | 22:57 |
| BiosElement | And they have great tech support, who don't tend to pawn of problems they could easily blame on others. >.> | 22:57 |
| BiosElement | Though I've only had to use it once heh | 22:58 |
| dmcglone | it looks good | 22:58 |
| dmcglone | expensive though | 22:59 |
| BiosElement | It's about the best deal on a VPS you'll find, personally I wouldn't go back to shared hosting | 22:59 |
| dmcglone | good thing I don't use shared hosting :-) | 23:00 |
| BiosElement | heh | 23:00 |
| dmcglone | with shared hosing everyone fights for the resources. IMHO it's stupid | 23:01 |
| BiosElement | Yep | 23:01 |
| dmcglone | they think they are getting it really cheap, until they find out their site is down all the dang time | 23:02 |
| BiosElement | ^ | 23:02 |
| dmcglone | what is your vision for your project? | 23:11 |
| dmcglone | BiosElement: is the project still looking for a website admin? | 23:17 |
| BiosElement | dmcglone: The vision for the project is being discussed, since I had a revolt (which wasn't really unexpected) I have a unique chance to rework the foundations. We're having a pretty awesome discussion on Convore www.goo.gl/WlXvI (Convore discussion) | 23:18 |
| BiosElement | And https://gist.github.com/912801 | 23:18 |
| dmcglone | I'm heading over to cube's channel | 23:22 |
