| Unit193 | Anyone besides bioselement use and like name.com? | 04:08 |
|---|---|---|
| * thafreak uses and likes name.com | 08:40 | |
| * canthus13 has no idea.. uses and currently hates his DL320. | 12:55 | |
| canthus13 | Stupid thing keeps going into read-only mode. the drive is new. :/ This is the second drive to fail in that machine. (third, maybe?) All of them do this. Rebooting it *should* fix it.. until the next time this happens. Or not. I'm afraid to reboot. fsck is finding inconsistencies, and I'm afraid to fix them. :/ | 12:56 |
| canthus13 | (ext4.. it *should* handle it fairly well, right?) | 12:56 |
| thafreak | yuck....bad controller maybe then dude... | 13:40 |
| thafreak | i had a similar problem... | 13:41 |
| thafreak | had hard drives that tested fine...put them in one box, and they acted like they were bad | 13:42 |
| thafreak | eventually I chalked it up to a bad controller and ditched the old box | 13:42 |
| canthus13 | I think I'm gonna wait to reboot 'til I'm at home and can throw things. | 13:50 |
| canthus13 | ...and then migrate the entire freaking server over to the old DL380. | 13:50 |
| canthus13 | (Or rebuild it if I can't recover the drive...) | 13:51 |
| thafreak | geez...what are you runnin on those beasts? | 13:51 |
| thafreak | and what gen are they? g1 g2? | 13:52 |
| canthus13 | They were free. | 13:52 |
| canthus13 | the 380 is.. G2? I think.. dual 1.4ghz PIIIs. The 320 is a Pentium D, so G3, I think. | 13:53 |
| canthus13 | Hmm... I had iLO running... I wonder if I can get to it from work. | 13:54 |
| canthus13 | 2Actually, I'm wondering if the fact that I have no drive sleds and have the drive just rigged level and shoved into the connector has something to do with it... | 13:55 |
| thafreak | ilo is nice... | 13:55 |
| thafreak | too bad you have to pay extra though to enable video over ilo | 13:55 |
| thafreak | but just a serial console is most all you need...since most linux installs can be rigged to work over serial | 13:55 |
| thafreak | hahaha...yeah, that might be an issue | 13:56 |
| thafreak | maybe you're shorting something out some how and killing the drives prematurely | 13:56 |
| thafreak | or they're vibrating too much or something else | 13:56 |
| canthus13 | working loose, maybe... | 13:57 |
| thafreak | how much is a sled? | 13:59 |
| thafreak | are they ridiculous or something? or just hard to find? | 13:59 |
| canthus13 | About 15-20 bucks. I just haven't bothered. :P | 14:01 |
| thafreak | still...i wouldn't spring for that for a free server either ;) | 14:02 |
| thafreak | are these ide or sata? | 14:03 |
| canthus13 | Eh. I already spent 20 on a 3.4ghz Pentium D (It had the celery D). | 14:03 |
| canthus13 | SATA. | 14:03 |
| thafreak | oh, well in that case | 14:03 |
| thafreak | i have a celeron D somewhere...I think collecting dust :) | 14:04 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 14:04 |
| thafreak | actually, my backup server that died recently... | 14:04 |
| thafreak | well, recently, as in 9 months ago or so | 14:05 |
| thafreak | still havent had time to take it a part and pull the tape drive out to put somewhere else | 14:05 |
| thafreak | so it sits on the shelf, still plugged in and connected to the kvm | 14:05 |
| canthus13 | http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Poweredge-C6100-2U-8x-XEON-QC-L5520-2-26GHz-4xNODES-NO-HDD-96GB-Ram-Tested-/251283578250?pt=COMP_EN_Servers&hash=item3a81ab1d8a#pic1 | 14:06 |
| jenni | [ Dell PowerEdge C6100 2U 8x Xeon QC L5520 2 26GHz 4XNODES No HDD 96GB RAM Tested | eBay ] - https://j.mp/14Jr1gP | 14:06 |
| canthus13 | one of those would be nice. | 14:06 |
| thafreak | wow 96gb of ram...wonder how much power it uses though :) | 14:08 |
| thafreak | I'm putting up with my pathetic dual core amd 1.4ghz box simply because it uses < 30w of power at full tilt | 14:09 |
| thafreak | and most of the time it's not doing much (mail, jabber, a small remote desktop, etc) | 14:09 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 14:09 | |
| canthus13 | It'd be good for my kids' minecraft server. | 14:09 |
| thafreak | electric bill dropped a TON... | 14:09 |
| thafreak | that too | 14:10 |
| thafreak | peak summer last year we were around $200/mo...this year, we've maybe gone to about $115, and we run the AC all the time | 14:10 |
| canthus13 | 2nice. | 14:10 |
| thafreak | so it's not the ac...it must have been all the p4's I had running and my phenom2 running 24x7 | 14:10 |
| thafreak | and all the old power supplies probably didn't help...made sure everything is 80+ bronze or better now | 14:11 |
| canthus13 | how do you quit emacs? | 14:17 |
| thafreak | i think there is a treatment program for that | 14:18 |
| thafreak | 12 steps, and some wrist rehabilitation | 14:19 |
| canthus13 | this is weird.. I can read files.. (cat/less whatever), but I get nothing when I ls. | 14:19 |
| canthus13 | hmm.. may just be buffered stuff. | 14:20 |
| canthus13 | attempting to read something like a really old logfile results in a failure. | 14:20 |
| canthus13 | Gives me hope that the drive isn't hurt. | 14:20 |
| canthus13 | ram, maybe..? | 14:21 |
| canthus13 | fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/Korso-root | 14:22 |
| thafreak | uh....that's never good | 14:22 |
| canthus13 | also got io manager magic bad! (which googling says should never, ever happen.) | 14:22 |
| thafreak | maybe some bad ram is flipping bits...but that kind of server should have ecc ram | 14:23 |
| canthus13 | It does. | 14:23 |
| thafreak | so bits should never get flipped.... | 14:23 |
| canthus13 | bah. can't fdisk. :P | 14:23 |
| thafreak | i did hear about a bad controller flipping bits | 14:23 |
| thafreak | it was written by a person advocating ZFS and it's ability to verify the data on disk | 14:24 |
| canthus13 | can't even locate the superblock backups because I don't have access to mk2fs. :/ | 14:24 |
| canthus13 | Blah. I don't wanna wait 'til I get home to fix this. :( | 14:28 |
| canthus13 | Hmm... | 14:29 |
| thafreak | haha...i totally know the feeling! | 14:30 |
| thafreak | Those are the days I get nothing done at work...well even more of nothing than usual | 14:30 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 14:33 |
| canthus13 | Seems I can read select files... my irssi config reads fine. some logfiles do. irssi logs don't. but my irssi config does... | 14:33 |
| canthus13 | I wonder if I bumped into the servers when I was moving things to the basement last night... | 14:34 |
