[04:08] <Unit193> Anyone besides bioselement use and like name.com?
[08:40]  * thafreak uses and likes name.com
[12:55]  * canthus13 has no idea.. uses and currently hates his DL320.
[12:56] <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?)
[13:40] <thafreak> yuck....bad controller maybe then dude...
[13:41] <thafreak> i had a similar problem...
[13:42] <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
[13:50] <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.
[13:51] <canthus13> (Or rebuild it if I can't recover the drive...)
[13:51] <thafreak> geez...what are you runnin on those beasts?
[13:52] <thafreak> and what gen are they? g1 g2?
[13:52] <canthus13> They were free.
[13:53] <canthus13> the 380 is.. G2? I think.. dual 1.4ghz PIIIs.  The 320 is a Pentium D, so G3, I think.
[13:54] <canthus13> Hmm... I had iLO running... I wonder if I can get to it from work.
[13:55] <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
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <canthus13> working loose, maybe...
[13:59] <thafreak> how much is a sled?
[13:59] <thafreak> are they ridiculous or something? or just hard to find?
[14:01] <canthus13> About 15-20 bucks. I just haven't bothered. :P
[14:02] <thafreak> still...i wouldn't spring for that for a free server either ;)
[14:03] <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
[14:04] <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...
[14:05] <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

[14:06] <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.
[14:08] <thafreak> wow 96gb of ram...wonder how much power it uses though :)
[14:09] <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...
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <thafreak> and all the old power supplies probably didn't help...made sure everything is 80+ bronze or better now
[14:17] <canthus13> how do you quit emacs?
[14:18] <thafreak> i think there is a treatment program for that
[14:19] <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.
[14:20] <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.
[14:21] <canthus13> ram, maybe..?
[14:22] <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.)
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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. :/
[14:28] <canthus13> Blah. I don't wanna wait 'til I get home to fix this. :(
[14:29] <canthus13> Hmm...
[14:30] <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
[14:33] <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...
[14:34] <canthus13> I wonder if I bumped into the servers when I was moving things to the basement last night...
