[00:44] How do you do a debootstrap of ubuntu server? [00:51] New bug: #828437 in chkrootkit (main) "chkrootkit cron job went nuts, spawned 14 instances and consumed nearly 90% of my ram" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/828437 [01:12] stgraber: heh, it was fine - cgroup-bin just refused to actually remove itself [01:12] (and as a result libvirt was not starting, so my containers couldn't attach to virbr0) [01:13] stgraber: the package at http://people.canonical.com/~serge/cgroup-lite should work [01:14] for the love of all that is holy, please, can someone please help me get Ubuntu Server 11 working with a RocketRaid 2320 RAID card? [01:17] The_Rufus: (i probably can't help, but someone probably can) where precisely is it failing [01:19] I've installed Ubuntu server 11 x64 to a USB flash drive, I have 5x2Tb SATA drives on a RocketRaid 2320. US-s is installed on the drive and working fine [01:19] but no matter what I try, I can't get RR2320 drivers loaded [01:20] i've follwed every howto, downloaded all the drivers (ubuntu specific AND open source) from the HighPoint website [01:21] the ubuntu specific drivers are too old (ubuntu 9) and the open source generic drivers are missing a header file and won't compile [01:21] what is the best way to do dyndns like services using bind on ubuntu server? [01:22] The_Rufus: where do you get the open source drivers, and can you pastebin the output showing msising header file [01:22] I'm wondering whether we can find the header file for you [01:23] http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/page/rr232x.htm <--drivers aquired from there === otubo[AFK] is now known as otubo [01:33] how can I pastebin the error? [01:33] The_Rufus: which part is failing? 'install.sh'? pre-inst? [01:33] The_Rufus: if it's install, for instance, you can do [01:34] 'install.sh > output 2>&1' [01:34] then 'pastebinit output' [01:34] and paste the resulting url here (or apt-get install pastebinit and do it again :) [01:34] well, i'm doing a make [01:35] of what? did you grab the ubuntu 9.04 package? [01:35] so that would be : make > output 2>&1 [01:35] ? [01:35] no, open source driver [01:36] when I try the Ubuntu driver, it just says that ....insert is for linux kernel 2.6 [01:36] .....ot the system to use the new driver module [01:36] ok - yeah make > output 2>&1 works [01:36] if you haven't yet, 'apt-get install linux-headers' would hopefully give you waht you need. [01:36] i say .... because I can't see the first 5 characters of my terminal because bash doesn't work with my 22" widescreen lcd [01:38] ok, pastebinit pasted to something......ubuntu.com/668763 [01:40] uh, that looks successful. do you have any .ko files in that tree? ('find . -name "*.ko"') [01:40] nothing [01:41] can you give me the url to my pastebin please? [01:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/668763/ ? [01:47] i worked it out [01:47] but that's NOT what's on the screen [01:47] I get (among other things): fatal error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory [01:48] [/home/rufus/rr/rr232x-linux-src-v1.10/product/rr232x/linux/.build/os_linux.o] Error 1 === |usr|bin|nice| is now known as |usr|bin|nice [01:49] [_module_/home/rufus/rr/rr232x-linux-src-v1.10/product/rr232x/linux/.build] Error 2 [01:49] rr232x.ko] Error 2 [01:50] hm, it says latest supported kernel is 2.6.25 [01:51] i would contact them and ask for any updated drivers [01:51] damnit [01:51] so if I install ubuntu server 10, would that work? [01:51] 10.04 was based on 2.6.32 [01:51] gah [01:51] no wonder people use windows [01:52] 2.6.25 was april 2008 [01:52] nonsense, i could use bios update for my 1 year old vaio under windows 7 bc that's too new [01:53] s/could/couldn't/ [01:55] d'oh!

[02:03] hallyn: re rr232x, whatever that is [02:04] mtx_init: debootstrap lucid destdir [02:06] hallyn: How is that any different than regular lucid and when regular lucid becomes EOL, what happens as lucid server is supposed to keep going. [02:06] mtx_init: i don't understand the question [02:06] twb: The_Rufus: oh yeah, this rings a bell - linux/config.h did in fact disappear at one point [02:07] (or maybe rather, was there at one point :) [02:09] hallyn: and....? how can I get it going? [02:11] The_Rufus: well, you can comment out line 12 in osm/linux/osm_linux.h, but then you run into plenty of other compile failures. [02:11] userspace ABI is consistent, but in-kernel is not :( ask vendor for new source [02:12] hallyn: lucid desktop is supported to 2012, server to 2015. [02:13] that didn't work [02:16] hallyn: so if they have different end of life dates, how will the system know if not installed from a specific media [02:22] mtx_init: good question. My understanding is that so long as you do a minimal install and stick to software from server set, you'll be supported. [02:23] in other words, if you file a bug against postfix in lucid, it will be addressed. [02:23] hallyn: Is that an example, or is there a postfix bug? [02:23] Corey: just an example :) [02:24] I'm sure it is bug-free [02:24] * hallyn runs out the door [02:24] *snicker* [02:57] kirkland: RoAkSoAx: woo, provisioning my first orchestra client!

[12:28] i've already created the user. [12:29] let me clarify, i know how to make a users home directory on my NAS, but i have a folder on my NAS, for this user already, and don't want to lose the data in there [12:30] sudo useradd -d /media/NAS/username -m username --- i get an error the home directory already exists [12:31] KM0201: How about using usermod -d if the user already exists? [12:32] Pici: never used that.. so you're saying create the user normally... then use that, and point it at the folder on my NAS, right? [12:32] KM0201: I thought you said that you already created the user? [12:32] no... [12:32] when i tried to create the user (using the command i created above)... .. that creates the user, and puts their home directory on my NAS [12:33] then i just give them a password, and thats that... [12:33] but i think what you've said will work, lemme add the user the normal way, and try that [12:36] KM0201: If you specify -m with useradd then it will fail, just use -d [12:36] ok.

[14:33] normally though, I will pipe the log output from the prorgam to something like logger though [14:33] actually, I have some perl scripts I made to do that, for logging apache log files [14:34] why would you prefer to do that vs. using imfile? [14:35] cause I don't care to have the log exist on the drive, and mainly don't wan the i/o overhead required to save the logfile in the first place [14:35] ah, understand [14:36] anything to help my 5gig disk space vm's run without using disk space, and keep i/o down so I can load up more vm's at a time helps :) [14:36] it's a pain if they do anything to the local filesystem, that means making sure they don't overfill, clean them selfs up, and everything else [14:37] yup, makes sense [14:42] <_ruben> yet it sucks when the remote syslog server is unavail for whatever reason :) [14:45] ruben, haven't had that issue :) [14:46] <_ruben> hehe :) [14:46] but then, I told syslog to hold a queue of 12hours in it's cache if it is unavailable [14:46] never had it unavailable for >2hours [14:46] <_ruben> ah nice, didn't know that was an option [14:46] and that was cause of harddrive crash [14:46] dunno in rsyslog, it is in syslog-ng [14:47] <_ruben> interesting [14:47] I still haven't done any tests with rsyslog to see if I want to switch to it or not [15:06] New bug: #828813 in samba (main) "ntlm_auth fails to use cached credentials" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/828813 [15:15] Ping Daviey [15:15] Ping zul [15:16] hey all [15:17] hey guys..

[16:53] (biab, lunch) [16:53] hallyn: yes, next step would be to prepare a debdiff against libcgroup (I think it makes sense to have both cgroup-bin and cgroup-lite built from the same source) [16:54] hallyn: having them conflict with each other [16:54] then attaching that debdiff to the FFe bug [16:54] the FFe bug should also mention changing the Recommends on the lxc package from cgroup-bin to cgroup-lite [16:56] that would still include a second FFE bug against lxc though right? [16:57] stgraber: ok, thx. I'll get on that after finish qemu and libvirt merges. [17:02] Daviey: what else can I do? [17:44] hello [17:44] hallyn: around? [17:45] zul: hey do you want partitioned arm images? [17:46] utlemming: still in vancouver but next week sure! :) [17:46] zul: I'll have non-partitioned images being spit out automagically starting tonight [17:47] utlemming: sweet ill have a look when i get back home [17:47] zul: but I'll get the partitioned images going along in a bit. The code that makes the partitions assumes some _very_ x86ish assumptions, like you want grub, etc. [17:48] utlemming: grrr ick....talk to the arm guys if you need help [17:50] zul: its actually our cloud-image building code and our desire to keep a similar code tree that is causing the headaches. arm images are built 90% of the same, and the remaining 10% is where all the pain is coming from. Also, I'm installing the linaro-vexpress which should work with panda-boards (if I'm not mistaken) [17:51] zul: I get my panda board whenever Robbie sends it, so these images haven't been tested on real ARM hardware. [17:51] (not that I would expect it to work real well anyway) [17:52] hggdh: Where do we start? :) [17:52] hggdh: give me 10 mins, there are a few things to tackle [17:52] zul: what's up? [17:52] Daviey: heh. BTW, kees is accepting the ajaxterm patch [17:54] hggdh: hah, just checked that :) [17:54] hggdh: that is rocking. [17:54] i love it when a plan comes together [17:55] * utlemming hears the A-Team theme song [17:55] indeed [17:55] can someone in here help me with rebuilding a raid mirror? [17:56] hallyn: so whats the problem with libvirt/lxc? [17:57] utlemming: cool hopeuflly ill get libvirt on pandaboard next week [17:57] Daviey, thanks. [17:57] zul: there's a problem? [17:57] must be not enough ppl using it [17:57] hallyn: i dunno smoser says there is a problem [17:58] oh. yes. i don't yet know anything more than what he's said. [17:58] except it's not an lxc/libvirt problem, [17:58] Hi Daviey, when firing up a bunch of cloud instances, we exhaust our IP pool as some machines end up with three distinct leases (although only one MAC id is involved.) [17:58] it's an openstack/libvirt/lxc problem [17:58] hallyn: did you see upstream libvirt has got block device support and loopback support fox lxc now? [17:58] We'd like to find a way to force isc-dhcp-server (natty) to hand out the same lease. [17:58] zul: no i didn't. that's cool. [17:58] medberry: Are you seeing this in dnsmasq aswell? [17:59] medberry: Also, is this a regression from dhcp-server3? [17:59] Daviey, no idea. [17:59] medberry: If you know the mac addresses that will be needed, they can be statically defined? Does that help? [17:59] medberry: I can pastebin a config for an example, if that use case is ok? [17:59] it doesn't seem to help as there is already a host definition with the mac. [18:00] sure, I'll take a look. === otubo is now known as otubo[AFK] === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [18:01] Daviey, where/why would dnsmasq come into play? I think a full DNS server is in place. [18:02] medberry: so we are doing, http://pb.daviey.com/wii2/ [18:02] Does that help, or are you already doing that? [18:02] already doing that (on a much bigger scale) [18:02] medberry: I just wondered if dnsmasq handled this differently to isc-dhcpd [18:03] (dnsmasq can do dhcp aswell) [18:03] ah. no idea. [18:03] medberry: And isc-dhcp is ignoring those fixed addresses? [18:03] I can run a test with dnsmasq and see if it exhibits the same problelm. [18:04] medberry: That would be interesting to compare. [18:04] medberry: You mentioned the other day that it might be part of the spec to supply a different address? [18:05] it is part of the spec: varying the client-id is treated as a distinct request (per RFC). I was looking for a flag/etc to ignore client-id and always use hardware (aka MAC). [18:05] wow, i didn't know that. [18:05] so those hardware type entries get ignored if the dhclient provides a client-id [18:05] Ooooooo! i see. [18:06] so you can end up with multiple leases per machine as PXE's dhclient and Installer's dhclient and running OS dhclient all behave distinctly. [18:06] and the RFC is written so that client-id field is first/primary key and only falls back to mac if client-id isn't sent. [18:07] at any rate--I was just poking you as I saw your name in the changelog. Thanks for the help, I'll look at an alternative (dnsmasq) dhcp server. [18:07] (the closest thing I've found but is the "master hardware;" and "deny duplicates;" dhcpd.conf setting and I'm still investigating in that area.) [18:08] s/but// [18:08] medberry: Does "deny unknown-clients;" change what happens? [18:08] haven't tried that one.... [18:08] * medberry reads the man === medberry is now known as med_out [18:10] med_out: a short dynamic-bootp-lease-length XX might also be helpful? [18:10] has anyone used mdadm before? [18:11] Kingsy: many people have used mdadm [18:11] med_out: one-lease-per-client looks interesting === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [18:12] Daviey: well, I need some advice on a raid drive I have, I am sure its setup but on boot my raid controller says it needs to be rebuilt. the drive I can see on my operating system has files on it, so I am assuming that just means I need to resync the mirror? right? [18:12] Kingsy: raid controller and mdadm is sort of at odds surely? [18:13] Daviey: sorry, its fake raid [18:13] onboard raid.. [18:13] raid controller was the wrong choice of words there [18:13] Kingsy: Why use fakeraid? [18:14] Daviey: because its onboard [18:14] Kingsy: Can you disable it? [18:14] Kingsy: mdadm is, unless i am mistaken, purely for entirely software raid - handled entirely from linux. [18:15] Kingsy: dmraid is for fakeraid. [18:15] oh ok [18:15] fakeraid can burn in a fire, it's a waste of time. [18:15] You get no extra perf' and it's usually less reliable/good than linux mdad. [18:16] Also, it's not hardware dependant - you can pull out the disks from a mdad based system and throw them into another box. Good luck with that using fakeraid :) [18:17] If the raid support your motherboard has doesn't steal cpu cycles, then there is some benefit.. but unless it's a good end card, i wouldn't use it. [18:18] Daviey: well I have installed dmraid, I just wanna see if I can get this rebuilt first then maybe look at some other options. you used this before? [18:18] don't use onboard RAID [18:18] it's a shame [18:18] *sham [18:18] though shame works too [18:29] Daviey: gah, a little qemu-kvm+ipxe issue, are you around? [18:30] Daviey: in qemu-0.14.1, which we have now, it looks for /usr/share/qemu/pxe-*.bin [18:30] in qemu-0.15.0, that is changed to /usr/share/qemu-*.rom [18:30] Daviey: that's the only issue I'm seeing with the otherwise clean 0.15.0 qemu merge. What is the best way to handle that? A simultaneous update of ipxe? [18:34] well i guess ipxe update is the only thing that makes sense. [18:34] hallyn: o/ [18:35] hallyn: ipxe is new this cycle, so we can largely do what we want. [18:35] hallyn: the symlinks is a ubuntu delta anyway, that i am *about* to upload. [18:35] So.. it seems OK to morph the symlinks :) [18:36] Daviey: ok. Morphing them before I upload qemu 0.15.0 is wrong too, we have time it :) so you can upload what's there while i test 0.15.0 some more [18:36] thanks! [18:36] Daviey: I'll upload a new merge proposal when I'm ready? [18:36] I am wondering if a "for *.bin do symlink /foo/*.bin /bar/*.rom" in debian/rules [18:36] or maybe i should just take the plunge and uplaod qemu-kvm [18:36] But a static list is also ok, as you have done [18:37] yeah and trying to get the order right of dh_links and the rest of debian/rules can get flaky :) [18:37] hallyn: Does qemu have any new features? [18:38] hallyn: I think, considering how vital qemu is - we probably should have a FFe where the merge is discussed. [18:39] oh ye... [18:39] bug 827831 [18:39] Launchpad bug 827831 in qemu-kvm "[FFE] Upgrade qemu-kvm for oneiric to version 0.15 from upstream" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/827831 [18:39] feature list is at http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/0.15. Now I don't know if usb 2.0 actually made it. If so that'd be killer. [18:40] hallyn: Can you attach an upstream changelog diff to the bug? [18:41] no [18:41] meanie [18:41] Changelog is un-updated, and git log is huge [18:41] bah [18:41] It does look like usb2 is supported... haven't tested though [18:42] changelogs are so pre-millenial [18:43] Daviey: actually http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/0.15 looks like it [18:43] I am trying to enable connection sharing as described here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/smylers/2011/08/ssh-productivity-tips.html -- I have added "ControlMaster auto" and "ControlPath /tmp/ssh_mux_%h_%p_%r" to my .ssh/config, however, I do not see any file created in /tmp, nor do I notice any speedup in connections. I do not think this setting has any effect. If I check netstat -tn, I see that there is created a new tcp connection each time I ss [18:43] hallyn: throw that on the bug. [18:44] yup [18:44] and attaching a debdiff [18:45] yeah it turns out it is fakeraid.. and I have started with it, so can someone give me some advice on dmraid? [18:45] hallyn: good stuff. [18:45] Kingsy: My advise is "don't" :) [18:45] !fakeraid Kingsy [18:46] !fakeraid [18:46] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:46] I've installed perl and a ton of perl modules all through apt-get on ubuntu server 10.04 LTS, but when i try to use the zlib module, i get the following error Compress::Raw::Zlib version 2.037 required--this is only version 2.023 [18:46] Any clue why that would be coming up if ive installed everything through apt? [18:46] geekbri: Purely installed via apt-get and not cpan? [18:46] basically dmraid -help|grep rebuild [18:46] Daviey: yes, i have some modules installed through CPAN but they are not these compression modules [18:47] gives me the command I need but what does it mean by RAID-set ? how do I find out the paths of my raid set? [18:47] geekbri: If you are certain this is packages at fault, can you raise a bug against the offending one? [18:47] is that whatever is in /dev/mapper/ ? [18:47] Daviey: i am pretty sure, but is there a way for me to verify? [18:48] geekbri: raise a bug and provide an example how to reproduce. Someone can then verify in a clean lucid instance. [18:48] Daviey: k thanks, will do. [18:48] geekbri: Ie, a simple perl script and what packages it needs. === utlemming is now known as utlemming_afk === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [18:56] ok this is a new one, my hd light has been on contstantly since I booted about 15 mins ago.. how can I see what its doin? [18:56] is it possible its resyncing the raid array automatically or something? [18:59] kingsy, possible [18:59] Daviey: ping? [19:00] something called kworker/0:0 is using the hd.. what is that? [19:09] RoAkSoAx: hola [19:09] hmm, I have no kworker's [19:10] patdk-wk: according to google its a "kernel bug" whatever that means, so I just need to either go back to windows or just let this random wakeup prog abuse my hard drive ? [19:11] why not use a more stable verson? [19:11] Daviey: why did you think that "Does this require a new build dep of librbd-dev (universe)?" [19:11] Daviey: it compiled and installed fine on regular oneiric [19:11] patdk-wk: I am using Linux mars 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:07:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [19:11] thats stable [19:12] depends on how you define stable then [19:12] I would consider when using ubuntu, LTS to be stable :) [19:12] patdk-wk: well I downloaded the official stable iso from ubuntu.com === otubo[AFK] is now known as otubo [19:13] but this really doesnt help.. does this mean that ubuntu have allowed me to download install and configure an operating system that is broken? [19:13] pretty crazy [19:13] depends on your definition of broken also [19:13] I wouldn't really call that broken === med_out is now known as med === med is now known as medberry [19:14] patdk-wk: fair enough, but its not exactly great [19:15] saying as though its a brand new installation and now I am going to have to try and "fix" the kernel [19:15] much better than what karmic did to my laptop [19:15] it would wipe everything on the harddrive, if you used the wifi [19:16] had to install and upgrade it with wifi disabled, then reboot, and I could turn on the wifi [19:17] maybe i should try and apgrade the kernel [19:17] upgrade [19:18] Daviey: hola!! and never mind found the solution to what I was gonna ask you :) [19:21] hi. i m installing ubuntu server and i got unable to install grub in dev sda. so i change it to /dev/md0 i got the same problem ( i put boot to raid 1) what should i do? [19:23] RoAkSoAx: you can't just say that.... what was the problem, dammit! :) === utlemming_afk is now known as utlemming [19:52] Daviey: postinst wouldn't return when restarting apache2 and there wasn't apparent error messages. so I just tried with apache2ctl and it restarts correctly and post-inst returns [20:09] RoAkSoAx: I think I ran into that mirror/squid problem you guys were having [20:09] where it can't find a mirror [20:09] RoAkSoAx: the other stuff appeared to work well though, the PXE menu with the proper ISOs, etc. [20:16] jcastro: yeah Idk if that's squid or not cause today i imported and ISO. cleaned squid's cache, and still failed to install with not finding the kernel modules [20:17] jcastro: so I'm guessin that today's ISO has a older upload of the kernel than the archives [20:17] ah [20:17] well, shouldn't like the natty ISOs work? [20:17] s/upload/revision [20:17] jcastro: those should [20:17] hmm I got the same problem on any iso I tried [20:17] jcastro: those not working? [20:18] uhm interesting... are ytou using squid or squid-deb-proxy [20:18] ? [20:22] jcastro: unless the issue is with some corrupts Release files or similar [20:29] RoAkSoAx: I was using whatever is stock in oneiric [20:30] jcastro: you mean orchestra? [20:30] right [20:36] jcastro: uhmm check that squid is running cause i think there's a bug a in the squid conig [20:36] jcastro: keep up, keep up. === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ [20:38] cant seem to enable tls on exim4 anybody want to shed some light on my issues ? === otubo is now known as otubo[AFK] [21:01] can someone tell me what application rebuilds/updates raid1 in ubuntu by default? === mosburn_ is now known as mosburn [21:02] mdadm ? [21:03] fhh: and if the raid is fake? [21:03] dmraid? [21:04] fhh: cos in this case the raid controller is onboard and the drives are in /dev/mapper/ so they are fakeraid [21:07] so dmraid [21:09] fhh: ok, so if dmraid is syncing my raid mirror how can I tell ? are you aware of any dmraid --status type commands? [21:10] fhh: basically the hdd on my pc is on constantly, I need to find out if thats dmraid syncing my drives or if its some rogue process that needs to be fixed... [21:10] can yo think of a way of finding that out? [21:10] you** [21:12] fhh: iotop says that kworker is read/writing 70-100MB/s but that is the only information I can find, it doesnt trace ot na [21:12] it back to an application** [21:13] im not specialist in fakeraid... [21:13] Kingsy: just use software raid [21:14] works well [21:14] is everything in /var/log in logrotated by default, or i have to add it in the conf manully [21:14] RoyK: lol it might but I am trying to solve this problem first, not look for an alternative solution [21:15] Kingsy: fakeraid sucks performance-wise [21:15] better use software raid [21:15] or get a decent raid controller [21:15] Kingsy: like RoyK i prefer soft raid or real hard raid... [21:15] RoyK: ok, i agree but are you aware of how to solve this problem? [21:15] fhh: I like good hardware raid systems for the root [21:16] Kingsy: is this a system you're trying to fix, or is it a new install? [21:17] RoyK: its something I am trying to fix, but tbh I don't even know if it needs *fixing* I just need to know what the hell the hdd is doing at 70-100MB/s constantly [21:17] if it's a new install, never mind the so-called raid controller, just use software raid [21:17] RoyK: naa its not a new install [21:17] no idea about fakeraid stuff [21:17] too many variables there [21:18] * RoyK uses hardware raid or softraid for mirrored roots or zfs for storage [21:18] the latter on non-linux [21:18] RoyK: ok, let me suggest this then, say I wanted to move from fake to soft raid. can I move to that WITHOUT formatting the hd I want to raid? [21:19] I daresay that would be hard [21:19] backup/restore would be the easiest [21:19] RoyK: see I did try to get a soft raid working but I couldnt seem to do it [21:20] RoyK: I take it hdd need to be firstly set to IDE in the bios right? [21:20] then you boot into the operating system so you can see two hard drives? [21:20] Kingsy: that depends on the hardware etc [21:21] Kingsy: for those quasi raid systems, linux will see two drives [21:21] if you don't have much data on it, reinstall with sw raid [21:21] less hassle [21:21] RoyK: well basically I am new to this, and I cant seem to get any specific help so I just enabled the onboard raid and booted. it seemed to mirror great.. [21:21] RoyK: well the operating system isnt installed on tehe raid drive [21:22] the raided drive is a data disk [21:22] Kingsy: if the system doesn't hold much data, reinstall [21:22] thats not the point, the raid drive has 700GB worth of data I need to first backup.. in order to format the drives to setup something I don't know how to do [21:23] dmraid is quite bad [21:23] jus don't use dmraid [21:23] just, even [21:24] RoyK: ok, but do you know where I am coming from? I am looking for advice and all ppl say are don'y use fakeraid, and I cant find any solid information on how to setup any other type.. [21:25] dont use fakereaid lmao [21:30] Kingsy: please pastebin lshw [21:30] !pastebin [21:30] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[21:36] I assumed it was cos it was onboard [21:36] doesn't look that way [21:36] doh [21:36] did you configure raid in the bios or the controller's bios? [21:37] heh? it's intel ICH5 southbridge fakeraid [21:37] RoyK: I enabled RAID in the bios and configured it in a raid controller menu which is accessed later on in the boot process [21:38] exact same as my workstation: product: 82801 SATA RAID Controller [21:39] Kingsy: if you boot up on an ubuntu cd, what does /proc/partitions tell you? [21:39] if /proc/partitions show both drives, it's fakeraid [21:40] RoyK: hmm I don't know I cant really do that right now, is there another way of finding out? [21:40] if it shows a single drive (sda etc), it's ok [21:40] it's fake raid [21:40] Kingsy: pastebin /proc/partition [21:40] Kingsy: pastebin /proc/partitions [21:40] patdk-lap: ok [21:40] RoyK: command not found [21:40] * RoyK chooses to trust patdk-lap [21:41] np [21:41] Kingsy: cat /proc/partitions [21:41] it's the intel ICH thing [21:42] just go into the bios, disable the raid options and just set it to achi mode [21:42] install ubuntu [21:42] then when you go to setup the partitions [21:42] use sw raid [21:42] RoyK: yeah it appears as twi drives --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/669570/ [21:42] you just set those 1gig drives to use for raid [21:43] Kingsy: bingo [21:43] hw raid is nice, if it's true hw raid [21:43] and kicks ass if it has the battery backup to turn on writeback mode [21:43] * RoyK hands patdk-lap a beer [21:44] patdk-lap: or if you use zfs with ssd-caching :P [21:44] * RoyK rather likes zfs [21:44] I've been thinking about trying flashcache [21:45] with what system? [21:45] that is my issue [21:45] I have no point to try it at the moment :) [21:45] I have a system with 7TB net storage - 14 1TB drives - striped mirrors with some SSDs [21:46] performance is better than anything I've seen so far [21:46] I would like to try it for a esx san backend [21:46] patdk-lap: that system cost about NOK 43k [21:46] but really need like 10g nics or something to make use of it, to stress it [21:46] so not a lot :P [21:47] 14 drives in striped mirrors, two spares, two for the root, the remaining slots for SSDs [21:47] Link :) [21:47] s/14/16/ [21:48] w00: just a normal 24-bay supermicro machine with a bunch of drives [21:49] hallyn: can #697690 be marked fixed-released now?

[23:08] adam_g: no.. it's work in progress.
