[18:33] anirban: No. It just needs to have write permissions. Which socket do you talk about specifically, and which permissions are set on that socket? [18:34] I am using java to create the socket. [18:34] I don't have any idea how to change the permissions of a socket created by java. [18:34] It's a TCP/IP socket. [18:36] So its not even existing in the filesystem, since it is a network socket. [18:36] Yeah. === Guest87218 is now known as kirkland [20:29] hello [20:30] i am not new to linux but new enough to create problems for myself [20:30] I have recently setup a server ubuntu server on my network and it is crashing [20:30] and i would like to find out why [20:31] Crashing how? [20:31] i think it is a disc failure [20:31] Check the smart values. [20:31] but I am not 100% sure [20:31] how? [20:32] should i know what smart values are? [20:32] Billy21: Is the package 'smartmontools' installed? [20:33] hmm... nope [20:33] Harddisks measure how healthy they are themselves, this is called the SMART data. [20:34] Install that and run 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd*' where * should be replaced with the letter for each drive. [20:34] ok [20:37] can i apt-get that ? [20:37] Yes. sudo apt-get install smartmontools [20:37] or do i need to wget and then install the packages [20:37] You rarely need to wget things. [20:38] thank you [20:39] also is there a cheat sheet for ubuntu server commands? [20:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:42] thank you [20:44] sorry... how do i list my drives? [20:44] i have 4 drives [20:44] one has m$ on it and two are raid [20:45] i need to see if the raid is failing or if it is my ubuntu os drive [20:47] All drives are listed in /dev as sda, sdb, etc. Run the smartctl command on all of them. [20:47] ok [20:47] Points of interest are the reallocated and pending sector counts. And the raw-read errors. [20:47] Those should all be zero. [20:50] is sda and sda1 the same? [20:50] No, sda1 is partition one on sda. [20:50] * lordievader movie time [20:51] which movie? [20:51] SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it. [20:51] (override with '-T permissive' option) [20:52] Read SMART Error Log failed: scsi error aborted command [20:52] Read SMART Self-test Log failed: scsi error aborted command [20:52] Read SMART Selective Self-test Log failed: scsi error aborted command [20:53] i shouldn't have a bought i cheap disc === shirgall is now known as Guest7784 [21:09] 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 114 085 006 Pre-fail Always - 72531505 [21:09] is that bad? === EmilienM_ is now known as EmilienM [21:14] in https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Understanding_SMART_Reports you'll find "PLEASE completely ignore the RAW_VALUE number!"

[21:31] the two drive that could be the issue are in my raid [21:44] Billy21: If the drive has issues with seeking blocks, its about to fail. You can fix it by replacing that drive. [22:03] Billy21: That raw read error doesn't look good. Time for a new drive, I'd say. === sarnold_ is now known as sarnold
