| jrwren | walked into room with home server to hear the sound of a disk failing. | 14:55 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | :( | 14:55 |
| jrwren | it sounds just terrible. | 14:55 |
| jrwren | but the system is running fine and well | 14:55 |
| jrwren | ugh, and sudo pvs hangs. | 14:57 |
| brousch | OMG you still use spinning rust?! | 14:57 |
| brousch | http://i.memecaptain.com/gend_images/pWZ-hg.jpg | 14:58 |
| jrwren | of course. | 14:58 |
| jrwren | how else am I going to afford 12TB+ of storage? | 14:58 |
| jrwren | holy crap, its making TERRIBLE sounds. | 14:59 |
| jrwren | sounds like beeps. | 14:59 |
| jrwren | oh wow, its the ST2000DM001-9YN1 and not the samsung. | 15:02 |
| jrwren | cursed baracuda | 15:02 |
| greg-g | got sudo back? | 15:04 |
| jrwren | huh? | 15:07 |
| greg-g | 14:57 < jrwren> ugh, and sudo pvs hangs. | 15:08 |
| greg-g | oh, pvs | 15:08 |
| greg-g | I thought it said "sudo privs" | 15:08 |
| jrwren | oh yes, it came back. | 15:08 |
| greg-g | nvm :) | 15:08 |
| jrwren | the beeps are so weird. I've never heard a HD failure cause system beeps | 15:08 |
| jrwren | its rather annoying. | 15:08 |
| * greg-g pushes down on the french press plunger, time for coffee | 15:08 | |
| jrwren | <3 | 15:10 |
| * jrwren sips his automatic drip and savors | 15:10 | |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: No fun | 15:18 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: luckily, hte disk was not in use. I did pvremove on it a while ago because of crazy SMART errors. | 15:19 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: err, no, I ram pvmove. pvremove would fail for some lvm metadata reason. | 15:19 |
| jrwren | now that the disk ACTUALLY failed, pvremove just worked. | 15:19 |
| jrwren | *sigh* | 15:19 |
| jrwren | watch, I'll probably reboot and LVM will totally fail, not finding metadata. | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | I've not used lvm for RAID. NEver though to use it for that. | 15:21 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: its rather nice because its all in one system. | 15:23 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: I don't think it performs QUITE as fast as MD, but really, maybe it does since they are both abstactions on device mapper anyway. | 15:23 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: its great because you lvcreate and say "mirror" and now you have 2 copies across devices for that partition | 15:23 |
| jrwren | and its LVM, so you are carving chunks out of hte pool, not worrying about matching PV sizes. | 15:24 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: I'm pretty sure that this is partly how synology does its mirroring | 15:24 |
| jrwren | anyway, I got the idea from synology | 15:24 |
| cmaloney | Ah, neat | 15:26 |
| cmaloney | I'm using md for mine so I'm a bit committed at the moment. :) | 15:27 |
| jrwren | :) | 15:27 |
| jrwren | I know some sysadmin purists (I like to call them old curmudgeons) poo-poo this approach, but it has worked really well for me. | 15:27 |
| jrwren | and I'm rather excited to add a cache disk. | 15:28 |
| cmaloney | The only difference between an experienced sysadmin and a punter is the number of bite marks in their ass | 15:28 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: hahaha! true | 15:28 |
| cscheib | luckily, my worst disk experience so far has been the early-2.6 kernel xfs bug. | 15:55 |
| cscheib | jrwren: are you @sadserver? https://twitter.com/planetpuppet/status/626047828687597572 | 15:57 |
| jrwren | cscheib: nope, what is sadserver? | 17:51 |
| cscheib | gah | 17:51 |
| cscheib | sent wrong link | 17:51 |
| cscheib | https://twitter.com/sadserver/status/626047963807227905 | 17:52 |
| jrwren | cscheib: hahaha, luckily all filesystems are operation, its just a disk that finally went boom. | 17:59 |
| brousch | Hm, it's a 15" 5lb tablet http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-15-7558-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC | 18:00 |
| cscheib | jrwren: sadserver is like the marvin the android from HHGTG of sysadmin twitter accounts | 18:01 |
| jrwren | cscheib: hahahaha | 18:01 |
| jrwren | cscheib: brain the size of a planet! | 18:02 |
| jrwren | brousch: $549 isn't bad at all | 18:02 |
| brousch | i7 for $850 | 18:02 |
| jrwren | i wonder how slow a pentium is. | 18:03 |
| jrwren | do they have a 13" 2-in-1 ? | 18:03 |
| jrwren | ooh they do, but it costs more :( | 18:04 |
| brousch | Core M | 18:05 |
| jrwren | oh no, its even less. | 18:05 |
| brousch | I have a Core M. I'm not impressed with its speed, especially graphics | 18:05 |
| jrwren | more my style: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-13-7348-laptop/pd?oc=cai137nw10b5018p&model_id=inspiron-13-7348-laptop | 18:05 |
| jrwren | Intel® Pentium® Processor 3825U | 18:05 |
| brousch | 13.3-inch HD (1366 x 768) | 18:05 |
| jrwren | so... faster than a macbook, but not by much, still not fast enough to use google hangouts and something else at the same time. | 18:05 |
| jrwren | yeah, that low res must be why it is so cheap. | 18:06 |
| jrwren | man dell's website sucks. | 18:06 |
| jrwren | i cannot find the 13" equiv screen to what you linked. | 18:07 |
| brousch | http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-13-7352-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC | 18:07 |
| jrwren | oooh, they have an 11" 2-in-1 for $329! | 18:07 |
| jrwren | how did you find that? | 18:07 |
| jrwren | i wonder if that $329 would run ubuntu touch nicely? | 18:08 |
| jrwren | wow, no 5Ghz wifi, and a spinning rust disk. its like they aren't even trying. | 18:09 |
| brousch | heh | 18:11 |
| greg-g | dell? not trying? say it ain't so! | 18:11 |
| brousch | They're trying, just not very hard | 18:12 |
| jrwren | greg-g: hehehe | 18:13 |
| jrwren | sorry, i'm sometimes known as captain obvious | 18:13 |
| brousch | I got Kubuntu 15.04 running on lenovo miix 2 11, but it only recognized single touch | 18:15 |
| jrwren | <3 SATA hot swap | 21:35 |
| jrwren | cursed out of warranty drive! | 21:51 |
