[00:08] any good recommendations for cloning a hdd? I'm seeing dd, but didn't know if there are others [00:09] first, you get an hdd oocyte, and remove its nucleus . . . [00:10] srsly, though, Cheri703, I like to sfdisk -d /dev/sdfoo > sdfoo.sfdisk [00:10] hmm...k [00:10] and then apply that to the target disk [00:10] (assuming same size) [00:10] going from 160gb hdd to external 500gb [00:10] hmm [00:10] have to send in netbook for repairs [00:11] 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] dd feels too black-box for my tastes [00:11] well, I want to put it back when I get the computer back [00:11] some people like 'dump' and 'restore' [00:12] what do you mean "black-box"? [00:12] as in, it just shovels a bunch of bits over [00:12] no error checking [00:12] k [00:12] no ability to restart [00:13] so, if the dd gets interrupted, you have to start over from the very beginning. [00:13] rsync is smart enough not to copy everything again if a partial copy has been made [00:13] hmm...k [00:13] but, you don't get the boot sector and stuff [00:14] it's . . . complicated [00:14] 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] I do the lazyman way with Clonezilla [00:14] Unit193 might be your go-to person on this. [00:15] Unit193: does clonezilla copy EVERYTHING? [00:15] as in, bootable drive? [00:15] Yeah! [00:15] I did it twice (once on XP) [00:15] kk [00:15] hmmm...k [00:15] You KNOW if windows can handle it, linux really can [00:16] does it wipe the destination drive? (as in, could I keep info on it, or do I need to clear it? [00:16] You could move it onto another partition (I think) [00:17] hmm...k [00:17] LiveCD (menu style) [00:27] bah. I just use dd. [00:28] 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. [00:57] back in a while, hopefully after cloning [01:33] transferring junk off of external hdd :/ [01:33] taking forever [01:33] yes, it will [01:33] 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] luckily it's not much [01:34] I was able to get rid of a bunch of crap from it [02:40] Hmm. [02:40] ? [02:41] Fighting with wireless and my new router. [02:41] ah [02:41] ooo, that reminds me [02:41] brb [02:42] Can't seem to mount my nfs shares now. :( [02:42] Some of them, anyway... [03:11] 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. [03:12] ...and this persists even after stopping rsync. [03:12] ...for a while. now it's working. [03:15] ufw or anything like that? [03:16] nope. [03:16] didn't have any issues like this until I installed the new router. [03:16] It's a Linksys E2000. [03:16] F/W? [03:16] * canthus13 is poking around the config options right now. [03:17] F/W? Firewall? Firmware? [03:18] Firmware... (don't think that would be an issue, just fun) [03:19] 1.0.0.3 Stock firmware.. I've had it a little over an hour.. not enough time to install DD-WRT. :) [03:20] Anyway. time to reboot my server and see if it freaks out. [03:20] DD-WRT?? not Tomato? (or TomatoUSB) [03:21] Tomato won't install on an E2000. [03:21] http://tomatousb.org/doc:build-types [03:22] Ah. cool. [03:22] Can you tell what I like better ;) [03:23] Heh. I'm fine with the stock firmware for now. [03:24] anyway.. back in a few, as long as the server doesn't freak. [05:19] hello? [06:35] * Cheri703 is running from cloned stuff on external hdd :) [15:04] wb [15:05] hi [15:06] hi [15:08] I get to apply for my passport today! :D [15:11] Cool === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 [15:18] having connection issues Cheri? [15:18] that was weird [15:19] I'm running from my external hdd, and everything went wonky [15:19] anyway, what I'd tried to say before it crapped out is: I'm applying for my passport today! [15:19] Cool! [15:20] iirc, make sure to take 2+ forms of picture IDs... [15:21] well, it says birth certificate and drivers license [15:22] Ah [15:22] That should work then :) [15:22] It's been a long time since I looked into that... [15:24] I've never had one [15:24] I looked into it several years back when I thought I wanted to take a trip... [15:24] Never got past the research part... [15:26] lots of things happened and I decided the trip wasn't in the near future lol [15:29] heh, yeah, that has happened to me before [15:30] now I have to have it in less than a month! hooray rush processing! [15:32] lol === _bbb_ is now known as _bbb [18:26] :P [20:00] Hmmm... wonder how small my log would be if the joins/quits weren't shown lol [20:24] wb [20:25] thanks === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 [20:37] Anyone interested in the future of the CubeCreate Project: www.goo.gl/WlXvI (Convore discussion) [22:18] Anyone around? Need domain name advice: Anyone like the name bioshub.com? [22:18] Hello everyone [22:18] gonna sell bios chips? [22:19] Heh, It's actually a reference to the Latin word :P [22:19] Meaning life heh [22:20] well thats what came to mind when you asked about it :-/ [22:20] I figured heh [22:21] If I seen the name in a search engine, thats what I'd assume :-/ [22:21] dmcglone: Some would, yes. I'm actually a fan of the double meaning myself. [22:22] I don't blame you, it would help with traffic :-) [22:22] haha, perhaps :P [22:22] biosboy would too [22:22] lol [22:22] Technically a Bios is the 'life' of a PC as well so it's got a pretty sweet meaning behind it [22:23] Going to see if I can get BiosHub.com to flow a bit better though [22:23] true, very true [22:23] * BiosElement is totally a jackass, stealing the -Hub idea from github [22:23] I don't see how. I see the word everywhere [22:24] I used "centeral" [22:24] Yeah, I was thinking of using it but it was a wee bit long for my taste [22:25] I tried to give my site the feel of a city [22:25] lol [22:26] like the metropolis [22:28] Yeah [22:28] are you thinking of starting a blog? [22:28] Nah, I already own BiosElement.com, I'm working on a F/OSS project that needs a more generic domain the CubeCreate heh [22:29] yeah I remember that [22:34] biosbay.com? >.> [22:34] heh [22:35] but that doesn't say much about the project [22:36] True heh [22:37] why not use cubecreate.com? [22:38] Ahh I may well end up using it heh [22:49] are you going to be looking for hosting also? [22:53] Ahh I've got a linode squared away from the previous project. [22:53] cool [22:53] Pretty big fan of them ^_^ [22:56] I'm checking them out now [22:57] Best deal around for quality VPS's [22:57] And they have great tech support, who don't tend to pawn of problems they could easily blame on others. >.> [22:58] Though I've only had to use it once heh [22:58] it looks good [22:59] expensive though [22:59] It's about the best deal on a VPS you'll find, personally I wouldn't go back to shared hosting [23:00] good thing I don't use shared hosting :-) [23:00] heh [23:01] with shared hosing everyone fights for the resources. IMHO it's stupid [23:01] Yep [23:02] they think they are getting it really cheap, until they find out their site is down all the dang time [23:02] ^ [23:11] what is your vision for your project? [23:17] BiosElement: is the project still looking for a website admin? [23:18] 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] And https://gist.github.com/912801 [23:22] I'm heading over to cube's channel
