| chrismsnz | hey hads | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| chrismsnz | may I PM you? | 00:26 |
| chrismsnz | workmate Ben sent you an email earlier just want to ask you a few things :) | 00:57 |
| hads | chrismsnz: Sure, sorry for the delay. | 02:22 |
| ajmitch | morning | 18:22 |
| codepal | morning | 19:22 |
| thumper | morning | 20:55 |
| hads | morning | 21:05 |
| Atamira | good morning all | 21:45 |
| ojwb | morning | 22:09 |
| G | hads: time out of sync? (re: Twitter) | 22:30 |
| thumper | morning | 22:37 |
| thumper | it seems my root filesystem has been mounted read-only | 22:37 |
| thumper | how do I change this? | 22:37 |
| thumper | or perhaps see why? | 22:37 |
| G | mount -o remount,rw / | 22:37 |
| G | and dmesg /var/log/syslog for why | 22:37 |
| G | if the modules hiccup in a bad way, it's common to go read-only as a safety measure | 22:38 |
| thumper | hmm... | 22:39 |
| thumper | mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sda1 read-write, is write-protected | 22:39 |
| thumper | WTF? | 22:39 |
| G | uh oh | 22:39 |
| ojwb | just flip the write protect tab... | 22:39 |
| thumper | haha, very funny | 22:40 |
| G | did it go/stay read-only on boot, or did it just go read-only during operation? | 22:40 |
| G | ojwb: I had to think about that for a few moments... | 22:40 |
| thumper | I think it may have been on boot | 22:40 |
| ajmitch | thumper: disks going bad? | 22:40 |
| G | thumper: take a peak at the output of 'dmesg' and smartctl | 22:40 |
| thumper | :( | 22:40 |
| thumper | dmesg is full of mysql shitting itself | 22:41 |
| thumper | smartctl isn't installed | 22:41 |
| thumper | and can't be because / is read only | 22:41 |
| * thumper tries a reboot. | 22:41 | |
| thumper | that works for windows, right? | 22:41 |
| G | thumper: got a LiveCD/USB handy? | 22:41 |
| thumper | hah, no | 22:41 |
| G | ouch | 22:42 |
| ajmitch | thumper: sure, it makes everything better | 22:42 |
| thumper | hmm... | 22:42 |
| ojwb | not everything, you're still running windows after the reboot | 22:42 |
| G | thumper: does the BIOS show SMART data? | 22:42 |
| ajmitch | I'm sure you've got enough systems there to write a bootable usb stick | 22:42 |
| thumper | it is a little funny | 22:42 |
| thumper | as it is a single big disk broken up | 22:42 |
| thumper | so the machine is running fine... (ish) | 22:43 |
| ajmitch | but...? | 22:43 |
| thumper | the dirs /var, /home, and /tmp are all different partitions | 22:43 |
| thumper | sorry, had a leading / | 22:43 |
| thumper | which confused irc | 22:43 |
| G | thumper: and they all mounted fine? | 22:43 |
| thumper | the seem to be working fine | 22:44 |
| ajmitch | so a disk error in one part of the disk shouldn't cause the whole disk to go r/o | 22:44 |
| thumper | is there a command to get a list? | 22:44 |
| thumper | so /home is mounted fine | 22:44 |
| thumper | read/write | 22:44 |
| ajmitch | dmesg probably shows a pile of errors | 22:44 |
| G | yeah, dmesg is the best bet for reasons | 22:44 |
| G | 'dmesg | grep -4 sda' :) | 22:45 |
| G | oh also, look for scsi instead of sda too | 22:45 |
| thumper | hmm... | 22:47 |
| thumper | doesn't say much | 22:47 |
| thumper | ok rebooting... | 22:48 |
| * ajmitch waits to see if thumper will come back :) | 22:49 | |
| G | yeah | 22:50 |
| G | ajmitch: I wonder if we can collect on the bet? :) | 23:07 |
| mwhudson | not looking good is it? | 23:17 |
| G | nope | 23:18 |
| ajmitch | poor chap | 23:25 |
| mwhudson | i lost three hard drives in six months back in 2009 | 23:32 |
| mwhudson | that was not a lot of fun | 23:32 |
| ajmitch | I should fix up my fun networking setup here, rsync between a VM on my laptop & my work desktop was going at ~300k/sec until I switched it to use ipv6 | 23:45 |
