| Gallomimia | i should like to mention this is a software raid | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| arrith | Gallomimia: i hear you can RAID1 a /boot partition, and when the RAID isn't on it still should function as a boot partition. so you get super redundancy for /boot | 00:45 |
| arrith | usually okay to get away with it since it's only like 1G | 00:46 |
| pmatulis | speaking of raid, anyone try using mdadm with fakeraid on trusty? | 00:59 |

| dyu | I just mounted postgres home(/var/lib/postgresql) with ecryptfs. After rebooting the machine, it is mounted for me automatically, but if I try to do any writes it tells me that it's a read-only filesystem. It's very weird coz mount shows it mounted as read/write. Here's some logs/output: http://pastebin.com/PsqkAv9Y | 04:41 |

| Gallomimia | still having difficulty installing onto a raid5. do i need to put /boot on a separate partition which is not involved in the raid?? | 06:56 |
| InFierno | Should work fine if you dont | 07:04 |
| InFierno | what ubuntu server version> | 07:04 |
| Gallomimia | 14.04 | 07:11 |
| Gallomimia | i intend to install the desktop package since i'm installing on a desktop | 07:11 |
| Gallomimia | the server installer is superior | 07:11 |
| Gallomimia | InFierno: it didn't work fine the first time i tried it | 07:14 |
| Gallomimia | alright so /boot is slice off. i have a raid1 across three slices, and raid5 with the remainder of the three drives. 2gig slice | 07:14 |
| Gallomimia | how shall i secure it | 07:14 |
| InFierno | Any particular reason you arent just using raid 10 and be done with it? | 07:31 |
| InFierno | I stopped using parity a while back - found there was too big a write performance hit | 07:32 |
| Gallomimia | i only have 3 drives. raid10 won't work out for me | 07:40 |
| Gallomimia | InFierno: what is the bottle neck in the parity situation? | 07:40 |
| Gallomimia | i feel my system won't have cpu as a bottleneck but it is likely to have a nb chip bandwidth problem. i want to overclock it and the ram | 07:41 |
| Gallomimia | unable to install grub in /dev/sda1 why is this every time | 07:41 |
| InFierno | You take a write performance hit when calculating parity - on my home server write performance went from ~150MB/sec at max to around 70MB/sec with raid 5/6 | 07:42 |
| InFierno | That said my home server is quite "low end" | 07:42 |
| Gallomimia | mine has a 4ghz octocore | 07:42 |
| Gallomimia | it should keep the pace | 07:43 |
| Gallomimia | #grub-installer sda1 sdb1 sdc1 | 07:43 |
| Gallomimia | ls: sda1/proc: not a directory | 07:43 |
| Gallomimia | why it fail >< | 07:43 |
| Gallomimia | i need to fix the Use As: in the partitioner. what i set this to? | 07:44 |
| Gallomimia | should i have them raided? software raid. the grub installer didn't like that | 07:45 |
| InFierno | I use an SSD as a bootdrive and HDDs in raid for everything else | 07:58 |
| InFierno | + a hardware raid card | 07:59 |
| Gallomimia | i was planning to use the ssd's as a dm-cache device | 07:59 |
| Gallomimia | i suppose i could move the /boot slice to an ssd | 08:00 |
| Gallomimia | but for some reason always always always mounting /boot in installer fails miserably | 08:00 |
| Gallomimia | currently the error message says: attempt to mount a filesystem with the type ext2 in scsi2 0 0 0 partition #1 sda at /boot failed | 08:01 |
| Gallomimia | but why | 08:01 |
| InFierno | bad sata cable? | 08:02 |
| Gallomimia | the raid built fine, and it installed the full system on it | 08:03 |
| Gallomimia | could i really see a bad sata cable this far into the installation? | 08:05 |
| InFierno | They are reasonably easy to swap so id try it | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | Gallomimia THIS ^^^ or even a loose cable could do it. | 08:06 |
| Gallomimia | well. i guess i shall consider how many sata cables i have to try a different one | 08:07 |
| Gallomimia | should i see this problem on all 3 disks? | 08:07 |
| Gallomimia | frack. it won't even react to my asking it to put /boot on a different of the 3 | 08:08 |

| badconduct | Hey | 13:25 |
| badconduct | I have a debian question | 13:25 |
| badconduct | I am using Putty to manage a server in my home network, I launched an application and you can see it running in terminal | 13:26 |
| badconduct | if I close putty, how do I get back to that running window? Is it possible? | 13:27 |
| lordievader | badconduct: With screen or tmux yes, else not really. | 13:27 |
| badconduct | Ah, I need an actual terminal application | 13:28 |
| badconduct | If I close putty, the service will still run though, correct | 13:28 |
| lordievader | Depends on how it is started. | 13:28 |
| badconduct | bundle exec rails server -e production -b | 13:29 |
| badconduct | It's a Snorby server | 13:29 |
| badconduct | http://wolfer.blog.com/2013/06/28/how-to-installing-snort-and-snorby-on-debian/ | 13:29 |
| lordievader | Is the webpage reachable after you've closed putty? (I think the -b flag puts it in the background, guess it'll remain running) | 13:32 |
| badconduct | Yes, if I close Putty it stays open | 13:39 |
| badconduct | I guess I'm just wondering if it's possible to view the running application terminal again after closing putty, without resetting the program | 13:40 |
| badconduct | (sorry, total linux newb sauce) | 13:40 |
| Gallomimia | what the grub?? i dont know what i'm doing here. trying to configure grub to boot a system that has 3 drives in software raid5 as their boot volumes. there is also a dmcrypt and lvm2 involved | 15:29 |
| CyL | Hi people, any nice tutorial on virtualization using libvirt+kvm (and possibly containers) in 14.04? | 15:57 |
| resno | im having a weird permission issue with something in an nfs mount. | 17:33 |
| resno | 3 folders all with equal permissions, and chown to the same user, 2 work 1 doesnt. | 17:33 |
| resno | so aufs mount permissions dont actually go anywhere when done on the mount itself :) | 17:51 |
| ddsss_ | is there a package to install self-signed ssl certs? | 17:56 |
| bekks | ddsss_: No - generate your self signed certs and use them. | 17:56 |
| ddsss_ | bekks, ahh - I think they come preinstalled: /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem | 17:57 |

| posthuman | Hello, is there a free alternative for Microsoft WSUS based on linux /ubuntu ? | 20:16 |
| bekks | posthuman: No. | 20:19 |
| bekks | posthuman: Or do you mean "how can I setup a local ubuntu mirror"? | 20:19 |
| posthuman | nope thought about nitrobit but free | 20:20 |
| DzAirmaX | hi all | 20:20 |
| DzAirmaX | what happend to motd.tail in 14.04 ? doesn't show up anymore ? | 20:20 |
| bekks | posthuman: Dont assume anyone knows windows software in here. | 20:21 |
| posthuman | Nitrobit runs on Linux as well and aims to be a alternative to WSUS. Or did u mean WSUS per se ? | 20:24 |
| bekks | posthuman: So you are looking for a software that actually replaces WSUS. | 20:25 |
| bekks | posthuman: I'd just setup WSUS on a Windows server - but thats pretty offtopic in here. | 20:25 |
| posthuman | yep... installed samba4 as ad dc and now im looking for some WSUS replacement. just found that ... guess i will give it a try http://download.wsusoffline.net/ | 20:28 |
| posthuman | thank u bekks | 20:28 |
| posthuman | :) | 20:28 |
