[14:55] <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
[14:57] <jrwren> ugh, and sudo pvs hangs.
[14:57] <brousch> OMG you still use spinning rust?!
[14:58] <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?
[14:59] <jrwren> holy crap, its making TERRIBLE sounds.
[14:59] <jrwren> sounds like beeps.
[15:02] <jrwren> oh wow, its the ST2000DM001-9YN1 and not the samsung.
[15:02] <jrwren> cursed baracuda
[15:04] <greg-g> got sudo back?
[15:07] <jrwren> huh?
[15:08] <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
[15:10] <jrwren> <3
[15:10]  * jrwren sips his automatic drip and savors
[15:18] <cmaloney> Good morning
[15:18] <cmaloney> jrwren: No fun
[15:19] <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.
[15:20] <cmaloney> Heh
[15:21] <cmaloney> I've not used lvm for RAID. NEver though to use it for that.
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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
[15:26] <cmaloney> Ah, neat
[15:27] <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.
[15:28] <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
[15:55] <cscheib> luckily, my worst disk experience so far has been the early-2.6 kernel xfs bug.
[15:57] <cscheib> jrwren: are you @sadserver? https://twitter.com/planetpuppet/status/626047828687597572
[17:51] <jrwren> cscheib: nope, what is sadserver?
[17:51] <cscheib> gah
[17:51] <cscheib> sent wrong link
[17:52] <cscheib> https://twitter.com/sadserver/status/626047963807227905
[17:59] <jrwren> cscheib: hahaha, luckily all filesystems are operation, its just a disk that finally went boom.
[18:00] <brousch> Hm, it's a 15" 5lb tablet http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-15-7558-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC
[18:01] <cscheib> jrwren: sadserver is like the marvin the android from HHGTG of sysadmin twitter accounts
[18:01] <jrwren> cscheib: hahahaha
[18:02] <jrwren> cscheib: brain the size of a planet!
[18:02] <jrwren> brousch: $549 isn't bad at all
[18:02] <brousch> i7 for $850
[18:03] <jrwren> i wonder how slow a pentium is.
[18:03] <jrwren> do they have a 13" 2-in-1 ?
[18:04] <jrwren> ooh they do, but it costs more :(
[18:05] <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.
[18:06] <jrwren> yeah, that low res must be why it is so cheap.
[18:06] <jrwren> man dell's website sucks.
[18:07] <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?
[18:08] <jrwren> i wonder if that $329 would run ubuntu touch nicely?
[18:09] <jrwren> wow, no 5Ghz wifi, and a spinning rust disk. its like they aren't even trying.
[18:11] <brousch> heh
[18:11] <greg-g> dell? not trying? say it ain't so!
[18:12] <brousch> They're trying, just not very hard
[18:13] <jrwren> greg-g: hehehe
[18:13] <jrwren> sorry, i'm sometimes known as captain obvious
[18:15] <brousch> I got Kubuntu 15.04 running on lenovo miix 2 11, but it only recognized single touch
[21:35] <jrwren> <3 SATA hot swap
[21:51] <jrwren> cursed out of warranty drive!
