Buffer Playback... [12:47] [14:41:24] .:Kilos:. [14:21:07] im so happy i found ubuntu [12:47] [14:41:24] .:***:. Playback Complete. [12:47] lol [12:47] was in the while 20min the power was off [12:48] lol [12:48] Kilos: and it's not the filesystem you need to worry about. it's the hardware [12:48] so ext4 may be able to handle it, but what about the hdd itself? [12:48] yes ive lost a few drives after power cuts Squirm [12:49] but not one since i went to ext4 [12:49] many when i was on winsucks [12:49] personally, I don't think the fs has anything to do with it [12:50] i read somewhere that ext4 is more able to handle frequent power cuts [12:50] but dont ask me where [12:52] yo sakhi lewe jy nog? [12:52] sjoe [12:52] gedink dis jou pc wat hier lurk [12:53] yebo Kilos ek lewe nog besig man. [12:53] mooi, besig is goed [12:54] we lost international connection (flap) for seconds but we back now. [12:55] my afrikaans is nie so goed nie ek probeer ;) [12:56] Squirm: i think it has to do with file recovery and the writing process when the power fails [12:57] oh sorry sakhi [12:57] i forget whose who at times [12:57] np [12:57] but it seems fine to me [13:13] magespawn: but surely you could format that failed drive and it'll be fine again? But for it not to work? [13:17] nope Squirm some are dead [13:17] i think when the power comes on and it wasnt seated properly it burns a boot sector or something [13:18] beyong my understanding but ya [13:20] I don't know what format the bootsector is [13:21] mbr is machine code methinks. i also dont know what the boot sector is [13:24] Squirm: sometimes yes [13:25] i think that tha way fs tells the drive to write affects it when the power goes off [13:40] remember one used to have to park drives [13:54] yup and with win 95 the os did it for you, i think it was win 95 [13:56] now i think thats where the prob came in if power cut before parking [13:57] dunno how linux handles it [13:58] not sure myself [13:58] hehe howerver it does a better job [14:16] bbl gonna try a unetbootin flash [15:17] later all [15:34] what is this about jozihub, sounds interesting [15:34] http://jozihub.org/ [16:41] magespawn: ping === Zarw is now known as wraz === wraz is now known as Wraz [17:30] superfly pong [18:12] hi Mezenir [18:12] magespawn, he must be eating [18:12] or youve got a short distance pong [18:12] hey Kilos Mezenir [18:13] no worries [18:28] kids take time [18:38] hehe yeah [18:38] lifetime [18:47] charl_: that looks like a seriously cool idea [18:50] night guys sleep tight [18:50] night Kilos [18:58] pong :p [19:04] hey smile4ever [19:07] magespawn: How are you? :) [19:09] good and yourself?
