kyle__I don't suppose anyone here has had spinrite not launch on one of their servers, after it actually booted into freeods?  Tangentially on topic, because it's an ubuntu server ;)02:29
kyle__It just needs help02:29
sarnoldspinrite? wow there's a name I haven't heard in ten years, give or take.. (in the sense of, "wow, there's aname I haven't heard of in ten years", at the time :)02:31
kyle__Yeah, some dumbass used a laptop drive when he got this r610 in his basement, because he was so excited to set it up, and put in an SSD a few weeks later.  All the data was moved over, just not the boot.02:32
* kyle__ really hates that guy sometimes02:32
sarnoldsounds like someone you ought not let near your computers :)02:33
* sarnold nods02:33
kyle__Sometimes it feels that way.02:33
kyle__I guess I'll let it sit overnight and see if it (spinrite) starts up.02:35
kyle__Otherwise I know what I'm doing tomorrow after work :P02:35
sarnoldbtw what's the point of spinrite in 2020?02:38
kyle__It's a spinny drive that I put in there.  Also the bulk-storage drives in my NAS box are spinny, because that's still the best bang for the buck storage wise.02:40
RoyKddrescue should do the same job02:40
kyle__Work only buys spinners reluctantly any more, and I'm almost at that point at home.02:40
sarnoldbut when you need a few dozen TB of space, they really are the cheapest way there :)02:40
kyle__Also, I really enjoy the security-now podcast, so it's kindof like giving the old guy a donation.02:40
sarnoldbut, like, what's the point of sipnrite? heh02:41
sarnoldmorning RoyK :)02:41
kyle__OK, really going to bed this time o7 night02:41
sarnoldgnight kyle__02:41
strixdioI have pfsense running as a VM on ubuntu server, with a NIC passed through, but connected to the host over a bridge. host can ping guest. I have a laptop plugged into a port on the NIC, and for testing I have allowed all traffic in firewall rules. laptop cannot ping the ubuntu host. Might I be missing something? not sure if it's a pfsense issue,03:06
strixdioubuntu issue, or user issue.03:06
strixdiooriginally I was thinking, maybe it has to do with ip_forward, but that didn't seem to do anything.03:07
RoyKsarnold: morning :)03:11
RoyKin-place fixing of drives isn't really my cup of tea03:12
sarnoldI always thought of spinrite as a DOS FAT consistency thingy, so I'm surprised to hear of it again03:19

martin__I have unattended-upgrades to install security updates automatically, when I got to work this morning one of our servers were shutdown. It was terminated at 04 which is the same time I run14:17
martin__my automatic updates on... can anyone explain what the heck happened? I looked in the logs and I did not see it actually installed anything at 04 so am wondering if someone was pending from aa previous upgrade.14:17
martin__something was pending*14:17
RoyKmartin__: I beleive I've seen that happen once or twice, which is why I generally don't restart servers automatically, but rather schedule downtime for that to be done.15:23

keithzgVery baffled, I keep getting timeouts on file operations on a server but I can't seem to actually find anything throttling the io, or any errors that would indicate why suddenly things are failing :/17:22
keithzgThe btrfs pool being used has user directories on it, so the big issue is email; Dovecot in particular seems to be having a lot of trouble (Postfix weirdly less so), the service won't even shut down although the log claims its been killed with signal 15.17:24
keithzgAll started when I applied updates to this 18.04 install and rebooted two days ago.17:25
keithzg`kill -9`ing doesn't even seem to be able to remove the lingering dovecot processes . . . arghh17:34

Ussaton 18.0417:51
UssatNo issues here17:51
geniikeithzg: Maybe sudo lsof|grep dovecot shows it busy in the middle of file operations of some sort which can't be closed17:53
keithzggenii: Good point, I should have thought of that! And I did see some indications that that was the case, buried in the logs, with Dovecot complaining about `cannot append message to file /home/username/mailmirror: unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable`. Have since just rebooted the damn server, and since then it has worked fine, but the same sequence of events happened yesterday, so I bet I'll get another chance for such18:26
keithzgintrospection tomorrow . . .18:26
keithzgHard to meaningfully troubleshoot when everyone is calling and texting saying "everything is broken!", really quite distracting lol18:27
geniikeithzg: Maybe keep us posted, seems an interesting issue18:32
keithzg[m]genii: Shall definitely do . . .18:35
