Unit193Anyone besides bioselement use and like name.com?04:08
* thafreak uses and likes name.com08:40
* canthus13 has no idea.. uses and currently hates his DL320.12:55
canthus13Stupid 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
thafreakyuck....bad controller maybe then dude...13:40
thafreaki had a similar problem...13:41
thafreakhad hard drives that tested fine...put them in one box, and they acted like they were bad13:42
thafreakeventually I chalked it up to a bad controller and ditched the old box13:42
canthus13I 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
thafreakgeez...what are you runnin on those beasts?13:51
thafreakand what gen are they? g1 g2?13:52
canthus13They were free.13:52
canthus13the 380 is.. G2? I think.. dual 1.4ghz PIIIs.  The 320 is a Pentium D, so G3, I think.13:53
canthus13Hmm... I had iLO running... I wonder if I can get to it from work.13:54
canthus132Actually, 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
thafreakilo is nice...13:55
thafreaktoo bad you have to pay extra though to enable video over ilo13:55
thafreakbut just a serial console is most all you need...since most linux installs can be rigged to work over serial13:55
thafreakhahaha...yeah, that might be an issue13:56
thafreakmaybe you're shorting something out some how and killing the drives prematurely13:56
thafreakor they're vibrating too much or something else13:56
canthus13working loose, maybe...13:57
thafreakhow much is a sled?13:59
thafreakare they ridiculous or something? or just hard to find?13:59
canthus13About 15-20 bucks. I just haven't bothered. :P14:01
thafreakstill...i wouldn't spring for that for a free server either ;)14:02
thafreakare these ide or sata?14:03
canthus13Eh. I already spent 20 on a 3.4ghz Pentium D (It had the celery D).14:03
canthus13SATA.14:03
thafreakoh, well in that case14:03
thafreaki have a celeron D somewhere...I think collecting dust :)14:04
canthus13Heh.14:04
thafreakactually, my backup server that died recently...14:04
thafreakwell, recently, as in 9 months ago or so14:05
thafreakstill havent had time to take it a part and pull the tape drive out to put somewhere else14:05
thafreakso it sits on the shelf, still plugged in and connected to the kvm14:05

jenni[ Dell PowerEdge C6100 2U 8x Xeon QC L5520 2 26GHz 4XNODES No HDD 96GB RAM Tested | eBay ] - https://j.mp/14Jr1gP14:06
canthus13one of those would be nice.14:06
thafreakwow 96gb of ram...wonder how much power it uses though :)14:08
thafreakI'm putting up with my pathetic dual core amd 1.4ghz box simply because it uses < 30w of power at full tilt14:09
thafreakand most of the time it's not doing much (mail, jabber, a small remote desktop, etc)14:09
* canthus13 nods.14:09
canthus13It'd be good for my kids' minecraft server.14:09
thafreakelectric bill dropped a TON...14:09
thafreakthat too14:10
thafreakpeak summer last year we were around $200/mo...this year, we've maybe gone to about $115, and we run the AC all the time14:10
canthus132nice.14:10
thafreakso it's not the ac...it must have been all the p4's I had running and my phenom2 running 24x714:10
thafreakand all the old power supplies probably didn't help...made sure everything is 80+ bronze or better now14:11
canthus13how do you quit emacs?14:17
thafreaki think there is a treatment program for that14:18
thafreak12 steps, and some wrist rehabilitation14:19
canthus13this is weird.. I can read files.. (cat/less whatever), but I get nothing when I ls.14:19
canthus13hmm.. may just be buffered stuff.14:20
canthus13attempting to read something like a really old logfile results in a failure.14:20
canthus13Gives me hope that the drive isn't hurt.14:20
canthus13ram, maybe..?14:21
canthus13fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/Korso-root14:22
thafreakuh....that's never good14:22
canthus13also got io manager magic bad! (which googling says should never, ever happen.)14:22
thafreakmaybe some bad ram is flipping bits...but that kind of server should have ecc ram14:23
canthus13It does.14:23
thafreakso bits should never get flipped....14:23
canthus13bah. can't fdisk. :P14:23
thafreaki did hear about a bad controller flipping bits14:23
thafreakit was written by a person advocating ZFS and it's ability to verify the data on disk14:24
canthus13can't even locate the superblock backups because I don't have access to mk2fs. :/14:24
canthus13Blah. I don't wanna wait 'til I get home to fix this. :(14:28
canthus13Hmm...14:29
thafreakhaha...i totally know the feeling!14:30
thafreakThose are the days I get nothing done at work...well even more of nothing than usual14:30
canthus13Heh.14:33
canthus13Seems I can read select files... my irssi config reads fine.  some logfiles do.  irssi logs don't.  but my irssi config does...14:33
canthus13I wonder if I bumped into the servers when I was moving things to the basement last night...14:34
