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