[07:55] Maaz, thank you very very much [07:55] sure thing, Kilos [07:55] Kilos: I've never had flu... I've had some bad colds, but that isn't flu [07:56] oh well i got coughing and sore throat from the coughing and worse head from the coughing [07:56] maybe its a bad cough [07:57] hehe [07:57] maybe i opened the window and influenza [07:58] hahahaha [07:59] sakhi: www.humblebundle.com [07:59] does anyone remember the name of the guy in port shepstone [07:59] he used to be here often [08:01] nm i think it was esquire [08:01] took a week to member that [08:01] grrr [08:01] hehehe [08:03] * Kilos very sad about shipit closing its doors [08:03] maybe i made mark broke. i got from 8.04 from there [08:04] superfly: www.humblebundle.com looks cool. [08:04] * sakhi wonders if froztbyte visited the site. [08:35] Kilos: hehe, I doubt it [09:19] I think I need to send another netiquette e-mail to the list [09:21] especially to William Walter Kinghorn, who seems totally unable to comprehend inline replies and trimming his posts [09:21] hi maiatoday [11:53] hi superfly, sorry super busy, I missed your message [11:54] maiatoday: no worries, was just saying hi :-) [16:34] . [16:34] *cough* [17:25] Hi all [17:25] Been a while since I used irc :P [17:25] lo mazal :P [17:25] Note: mirror.ac.za (which includes za.*.ubuntu.com) will be down tonight for approximately 60 minutes from about 10:30pm [17:26] Using xchat , that ok or is there something better ? [17:26] it may be a lot less time than that, but Im bargaining on an hour to do what I need to do [17:26] xchat works :) [17:26] copy that [17:26] so if anyone sees they cant get ubuntu updates between 10:30 and 11:30 tonight thats why [17:27] after 2 builds in 3 days I think I am done with updates for now [17:27] :P and cross your fingers and pray that this goes the way its meant to, because its a little complicated [17:27] hehehe , it usually is :) [17:28] heh, Im rsynching 3.9 terabytes of data off SAN1 -> SAN2 at the moment, once thats done, I'll unmount SAN1, loopback mount the stuff on SAN2 to the original mount point of SAN1, replace all the disks in SAN1 and reformat it, mount SAN1 on a different mount point, rsync all the data back again, and then at a later point after the rsync is done, remove the loopback mount and remount SAN1 back where it should be [17:28] but in theory the loopback mount will allow us to keep the system running properly while the rsync copy back is done [17:28] (which can take 12+ hours because of the amount of data involved) [17:29] :p and once all is complete, the server will have an extra 20 terabytes of space in it taking it to 70TB total I believe [17:30] Any reason why the updates came down slower last 2 nights ? [17:30] no idea, server has plenty of bandwidth available [17:31] hmmm , might have to shout at Telkom then [17:31] where are you in the country? [17:31] Was running at 220k average and usually get 420k [17:31] cullinan [17:31] because we did have an issue between pretoria and durban meaning that traffic to certain locations had to take the alternate path around the ring which would have added a fair bit of latency [17:31] on the 10G national ring [17:32] I'm bout 50km East of PTA [17:32] if you're not getting full speed now though there is an issue thats outside of our network [17:32] yeah, hard to say what path its taking though I dont think that issue should have affected you, since I'd suspect it would flow via JINX and that path wasnt seeing any issues [17:32] (woulda gone Wits -> I.S Rosebank -> JINX -> internet) [17:33] and I know that Wits -> I.S Rosebnk link is working fine because I did testing on it earlier today and was very easily flatlining a coupla gigE nics [17:33] heh mazal in 99% of circumstances, you can be guaranteed that if there are speed problems to mirror.ac.za, its not our network [17:34] because we have more bandwidth than most of the country combined [17:34] I've suspected my line from the weekend , think the problem was there [17:35] hell, mirror.ac.za is plugged 10G into a router that has 60G of connectivity to the rest of the network, and the network itself has 41 gig of national peering/transit in various places [17:35] so if you cant get 420k, either something is excessively broken on our side, or someone elses network is broken :P [17:35] and it would have to be a *HUGE* problem on our side [17:36] like, 4 circuit failures at once :) [17:37] never knew we had such serious Ubuntu network support in ZA [17:45] heh [17:45] well, the network behind it [17:45] is TENET's network [17:45] the south african academic network [17:45] (I work for TENET, as their CTO) [17:45] lol, we believe in building proper networks [17:47] That's kewl. I think the work being done with Ubuntu is amazing. I am enjoying Ubuntu more and more as I learn more and more [17:49] brag jy lekker Symmetria? :P [17:49] hahaha [17:49] Owkkuri heh, damn straight :) [17:49] Im proud of what we've built [17:49] :) [17:49] and rightly so [17:49] :P its taken me 6 years of my life and much blood sweat and tears, I've earned the right to brag a bit [17:51] What would be a good place to start if I want to build a mailing list for work on a ubuntu server ? [17:55] g2g for now [18:12] nothing wrong with being proud with a job well done [18:13] lo nlsthzn kbmonkey [18:13] Kilos: hey :) [18:16] inetpro, ping [18:35] is he still ok? [18:35] Kilos: ?
