| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:03 |
| SuperMatt | g'day | 09:04 |
| brobostigon | morning | 09:06 |

| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Near Miss Day! 😃 ☄ | 09:48 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_4PlM85NJo | 09:53 |
| SuperMatt | Ooof, I think Near Miss Day is a little bit on the nose, condering yesterday's attacks | 09:55 |
| foobarry | quiet round here nowadays. has sl4ck meant that people are using irc less? | 12:44 |
| foobarry | certainly happened here | 12:44 |
| SuperMatt | I never really start conversations | 12:51 |
| SuperMatt | Unless you now wish for me to talk about going to the Power Rangers on Sunday | 12:51 |
| SuperMatt | because I'm sure excited about that | 12:51 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: I can tell, next you'll be saying that the kids made you be we know it is the other way round ;) | 13:00 |
| SuperMatt | I don't have kids | 13:00 |
| SuperMatt | I'm just a lifelong power rangers fan | 13:00 |
| davmor2 | see | 13:00 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: someone had to be | 13:01 |
| SuperMatt | :D | 13:01 |
| SuperMatt | As a child I bonded with others over power rangers. It was amazing | 13:01 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: yes then they got lives and lived happily every after ;) | 13:02 |
| SuperMatt | LIES! | 13:03 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: to be fair the effects in it look much better....I'm still waiting for the Thundercats live action movie myself though :D | 13:03 |
| SuperMatt | Oh gosh yes, that would be amazing | 13:03 |
| SuperMatt | Though the question is always, who should play Cheetara? | 13:04 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: Milla Jochovich, Scarlett Johansen or Summer Glau | 13:06 |
| SuperMatt | always see Cheetara as being quite tall, which Johansen and Glau are not. Jochovich would be good | 13:07 |
| davmor2 | possibly jennifer garner | 13:07 |
| SuperMatt | +I | 13:07 |
| SuperMatt | *Jovovich | 13:07 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: thinking face shapes more than height they can put them on ramps nowadays | 13:08 |
| SuperMatt | I guess if I'm thinking about someone who runs fast, I don't think of Scarlett Johasson | 13:09 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: oh Kate Beckinsale | 13:09 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: have you not seen in ghost in the shell, avengers etc running is all she does ;) | 13:10 |
| SuperMatt | I know, but she doesn't have the body of a sprinter. Her figure just isn't cheeta-eque. | 13:11 |
| SuperMatt | She's an extremely attractive woman, but I don't think she'd be right for the role | 13:11 |
| SuperMatt | and this is all just speculation | 13:11 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: yeah but if we build it they will come.......damn wrong film | 13:12 |
| * diddledan wonders if his network cards will arrive today | 14:04 | |
| * diddledan anticipates | 14:04 | |
| diddledan | so excite | 14:04 |
| diddledan | fibre optic for the first time in my life! | 14:04 |
| daftykins | never used optical cables? :) | 14:07 |
| diddledan | nope | 14:07 |
| diddledan | the closest I've been so far is a spaceship lamp | 14:07 |
| diddledan | one of these jobbies: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lZkz_I0ZT8c/TVFqkqKIfdI/AAAAAAAAZ_s/pmSCk12gTCU/s1600/fibre_optic_lamp.jpg | 14:08 |
| daftykins | i'd be concerned at the power draw for 10GbE in the home, hrmm | 14:09 |
| diddledan | the power is worse with 10GBASE-T than fibre | 14:09 |
| daftykins | o0 | 14:11 |
| daftykins | i'd be interested in seeing some data on that, anyways | 14:11 |
| diddledan | yup | 14:11 |
| diddledan | I nead a meter | 14:11 |
| === twinsen is now known as twinsenx | ||
| diddledan | had an asbestos inspector a short while ago | 14:22 |
| diddledan | I wonder if I have any, and how troublesome it'll be to remove | 14:23 |
| daftykins | very! | 14:25 |
| daftykins | it'd be a full move out affair if you did i'd imagine | 14:25 |
| diddledan | :-( | 14:30 |
| diddledan | they might nick me PC! | 14:30 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: Asbestos is a pain in the arse big time, really would be out of this house for 24 hours minimum | 14:32 |
| daftykins | diddledan: and all your transceivers! | 14:33 |
| diddledan | :-o | 14:34 |
| diddledan | all both of them | 14:34 |
| diddledan | and my nice aqua fibre cable! | 14:34 |
| diddledan | I got my transceivers from these guys: http://www.fs.com/ they were brilliant | 14:35 |
| diddledan | excellent hand-holding, checked with me what I'm putting them into to ensure they sent me compatible ones | 14:35 |
| daftykins | excellent | 14:36 |
| diddledan | *would buy again* | 14:37 |
| daftykins | ooh it would've been neat to get a premade length of fiber to get down to the end-of-garden building at my clients | 14:37 |
| daftykins | we had his electrician lay two outdoor spec cat5e or 6, but only one works | 14:37 |
| daftykins | runs along the top of a wall inside PVC tubing | 14:38 |
| diddledan | what's the betting the leccy didn't know how to wire the plug/socket on each end? :-p | 14:59 |
| daftykins | oh we don't even let him attempt, leave all the termination to me | 15:10 |
| daftykins | i like my 'B' wiring scheme anyway! | 15:11 |
| diddledan | omg, I had completely forgotten about this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0s6nyrQxgw | 19:15 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i have completed my best work to-date - https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3b8nknk2riamrr/IMG_20170323_193116.jpg?dl=0 | 19:38 |
| diddledan | kittyphone! | 19:39 |
| Azelphur | so, I managed to recover my raid array, \o/ | 19:42 |
| Azelphur | Now the only question is to figure out what on earth happened | 19:43 |
| diddledan | Azelphur: did you manage to finish the rebalance? | 19:43 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: no | 19:43 |
| Azelphur | I managed to bring the array back to a state before the grow | 19:44 |
| diddledan | :-( | 19:44 |
| diddledan | at least you got your data back | 19:44 |
| Azelphur | so everything is fine, all my data is good | 19:44 |
| Azelphur | yea | 19:44 |
| diddledan | now. backup before trying again :-) | 19:44 |
| Azelphur | Sure, you got somewhere I can dump 13TB? | 19:44 |
| diddledan | Amazon S3? | 19:44 |
| Azelphur | haha, maybe | 19:44 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure on costing though | 19:44 |
| Azelphur | although on my upload, it'll take about 3 months to upload. | 19:45 |
| diddledan | dang. good point | 19:46 |
| diddledan | I only have a 1TB cap anyway so I couldn't have done it if I had the same requirement | 19:46 |
| Azelphur | essentially the sequence of events has been, mdadm ejected bad drive from array (don't know why), bought new replacement. Tested bad drive with badblocks. Bad drive did 3 passes with no errors, no reallocated sectors, nothing in dmesg. Tried to grow array onto bad drive, mdadm sat at rebuilding 0% and didn't even start rebuilding. Attempted solutions resulted in hard crashing the machine, I then had to recreate the array with --assume | 19:47 |
| Azelphur | -clean | 19:47 |
| Azelphur | and I'm now running badblocks again on the bad drive, and it's still passing | 19:47 |
| Azelphur | so...yea, this is odd. | 19:47 |
| Azelphur | drive is fine, unless you want to add it to a raid array, in which case it is broken. | 19:48 |
| daftykins | and this is why hardware controllers can be nice ;D | 19:49 |
| Azelphur | why? I feel like if I had a hardware controller in the situation I am now, I would have lost my data | 19:49 |
| daftykins | what are the disks? any cheap crappy models like WD green? | 19:49 |
| Azelphur | yea, cheapo drives, USB shucks | 19:49 |
| daftykins | well no you wouldn't have had it threatened in the first place | 19:49 |
| daftykins | also ugh at badblocks, way to stress a disk in question | 19:50 |
| diddledan | daftykins: STEP AWAY FROM THE SMART REPORT! | 19:50 |
| daftykins | 8D | 19:50 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: I want to stress it, if it fails, I will replace it. | 19:51 |
| diddledan | I swear disks are like schroedinger's cat. both alive and dead until daftykins looks at the smart report at which point it is de facto dead | 19:51 |
| diddledan | --e | 19:52 |
| daftykins | pff | 19:53 |
| diddledan | Schrodinger? (no e) | 19:53 |
| daftykins | Azelphur: so what are they? | 19:53 |
| diddledan | I can't write an umlaut in Windows | 19:53 |
| diddledan | well I might be able to, but I don't know how | 19:53 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: https://dpaste.de/duXu | 19:54 |
| Azelphur | sdg is "bad drive" | 19:54 |
| diddledan | seagate? | 19:54 |
| Azelphur | yep | 19:54 |
| diddledan | yeah, it's dead :-p | 19:54 |
| Azelphur | lol | 19:55 |
| diddledan | I don't stereotype often, but when I do, it's about seagate disks | 19:55 |
| daftykins | XD | 19:59 |
| daftykins | and you're mixing them too? | 19:59 |
| Azelphur | I think mixed drives are a good thing, it prevents manufacturing faults from taking out a bunch of drives simultaniously | 20:01 |
| daftykins | yes that's a nice theory, shame you chose seagate craptastic ones | 20:02 |
| daftykins | welp you gotta start with the basics if the SMART is really clean, cable + SATA controller | 20:03 |
| Azelphur | they aren't actually craptastic, the whole seagate thing stems from one single line of 3TB drives, beyond that one product line they actually have similar failure rates to other brands | 20:03 |
| daftykins | no, it stems from the fact they're not even willing to put more than a 2 year warranty on their own drives. | 20:04 |
| daftykins | that tells you all you need to know about Seagate. | 20:04 |
| Azelphur | heh | 20:04 |
| Azelphur | I prefer the Toshibas for that reason, you'll notice most of my array is comprised of them :) | 20:04 |
| daftykins | they're not HAMR drives are they? | 20:05 |
| Azelphur | no idea what that is | 20:05 |
| Azelphur | "As of 2016, no hard disks using HAMR are currently on the market" according to wikipedia | 20:06 |
| Azelphur | so um...wat? | 20:06 |
| diddledan | I hear good things about HGST drives | 20:06 |
| daftykins | heat assisted magnetic recording | 20:06 |
| davmor2 | they just trying to stop HAMR TIME | 20:06 |
| daftykins | nevermind i'm thinking of the tech that has to rewrite neighbouring tracks on write | 20:06 |
| diddledan | shingled? | 20:07 |
| daftykins | that sounds like the one | 20:07 |
| daftykins | SMR or so | 20:10 |
