00:30.00agrisgnarface, ext4 is a lot more than ext2 with journaling
00:30.46agrisyou have indexing, encryption, rework of the entire inode structure for extremely fast fscks
00:31.25agristo say ext4 is just ext2 with journaling bolted on would be inaccurate
00:32.55agrisand yes, you can format a multiterabyte block device with ext4 in seconds. that's completely normal if you skip the badblocks stage
00:33.17agrismkfs.ext4 does not require you to zero the disk
00:33.28gnarfaceall false
00:33.34gnarfacewell maybe not the first part
00:34.22gnarfacefsck is absolutely no faster
00:34.53gnarfaceand neither is formatting, even without doing the badblocks test (which expands "hours" to "days" for disks that size)
00:35.16agrisgnarface, if that's how it's been in your experience you probably have some of the ext4 features disabled or set to 'runtime mode'
00:35.37gnarfacewell, i suspect you've been mislead on the formatting speed specifically
00:36.08gnarfacelots of people seem to be getting that lazy/fast format by default and simply not noticing the ensuing ghost disk activity after install
00:36.21agristhis can happen if you don't fully follow through with the ext3->ext4 conversion procedure or when you created the ext4 filesystem you explicit set certain features to disabled/runtime in order to maintain ext3/2 backwards compatibility
00:36.25gnarface(i really thought that was only RAID guys getting that by default but apparently i'm wrong)
00:37.08gnarfaceand as far as i can tell, everyone is making the fsck process "faster" by simply sabotaging it so it doesn't happen
00:37.34gnarfacethat seems to be the new popular distro thing these days is to omit fsck
00:37.49agrishere i'll prove it. I've got an ext4 external2tb right here filled with movies
00:38.02agrissetup with all the proper filesystem features enabled
00:38.06gnarfacei assume so that when everyone's disks unravel they can push some new filesystem they're selling
00:38.27gnarfaceand what are the proper filesystem features, if not "default" ?
00:38.38gnarfaceor "defaults" or whatever it's called?
00:39.20jonadabThe argument in favor of not doing fsck, is that people don't want to wait an hour for the computer to start when they turn it on.  Not saying this is a _great idea_, but that's the motivation.

00:40.36agris><jonadab> The argument in favor of not doing fsck, is that people don't want to wait an hour for the computer to start
00:40.43agrisThat's an ext3 problem NOT an ext4 problem
00:41.02jonadabAh?  Ok, could be.  I think most of my experience is with ext2/3.
00:41.31jonadab(Well, and previously with FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32.)
00:41.52jonadab(And the occasional odd bit of ntfs or iso9660 on the side, of course.)
00:42.40agrisman 5 ext4
00:43.05agris>This ext4 feature
00:43.15agris>his feature is supported by ext2, ext3, and ext4.
00:43.21jonadabThe filesystem feature I _really_ want, and have wanted for years, is VMS-style file versioning.
00:43.28agris>This feature is supported by ext3 and ext4 file systems, and is ignored by
00:43.28agris<PROTECTED>
00:44.53agrischeck to see if uninit_bg is enabled
00:45.28agris> The kernel will keep a high watermark of unused inodes, and initialize inode

00:45.28agris<PROTECTED>
00:46.30*** join/#devuan zoobab (zoobab@vic.ffii.org)
00:46.32agrisuninit_bg is NOT backwards compatible with ext2/3 and enabled it will prevent you from being able to mount an ext4 filesystem as ext3
00:49.44agrisand just for completeness sake, here's how long it takes under the worst case scenario. a 2TB ext4 filesystem @5400RPM over a USB converter
00:49.45agrishttp://dpaste.com/3RSYSWN
00:50.06agristhat is also filled to the brim with 97% usage
00:50.39agrismy bad 89%
00:50.43agris<PROTECTED>
00:58.23agrisjonadab, Would OpenZFS snapshotting provide the versioning your looking for? not familiar with VMS a whole lot
01:01.21agrishttps://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4#EXT4_features
01:03.35agrisgnarface, you are somewhat correct about ext3 being mostly just ext2 with journaling. however notso for ext4
01:03.38agris>Ext4 is the evolution of the most used Linux filesystem, Ext3. In many ways, Ext4 is a deeper improvement over Ext3 than Ext3 was over Ext2. Ext3 was mostly about adding journaling to Ext2, but Ext4 modifies important data structures of the filesystem such as the ones destined to store the file data. The result is a filesystem with an improved design, better performance, reliability and features.

01:09.13agrisif someone is REALLY that upset abot their computer taking a little longer to boot up due to ext4 checking, I'd  recommend disconnecting the ACPI power button from their motherboard and training them on the proper way to shutdown a computer when finished with it

01:10.29agrisalso disconnect the reset button if that's there too
01:11.15agrisand again, if fsck is taking hours not minutes, make sure the proper ext4 features are turned on

01:13.51gnarfaceagris: well, the hours instead of minutes thing is noted.  and maybe upgrading from ext3 might have something to do with that but you still posted a 7 minute format time on a 209GB disk, which would still be most of an hour for 2TB, so i maintain that compared to xfs for example, which will complete the same task in only a few seconds (literally)
01:14.25gnarface... my statement that "if you didn't notice how long it took to format, it didn't do it" is not wrong
01:15.10agrisgnarface, incorrect. 208GB free of 2TB. and that disk is worst case archive disk at lowest RPM over lowest speed interface.
01:15.43jonadabagris: Not really, no.
01:16.48gnarfaceagris: he would definitely have noticed 7 minutes * whatever the differential is in disk size here
01:16.50jonadabThe way file versioning works in VMS is, you don't have to take any snapshots or do anything.  When a file is changed, a new version is automatically created, unless you specifically specify a version number to overwrite.
01:17.22jonadabYou can read a particular version of a file at any time by appending ; and the version number to the filename.
01:18.08jonadabObviously, you do that for certain types of files (lock files, PID files, etc.)
01:18.18agrisXFS is a good filesystem and I use it a lot, but I would not recommend it being the default. It's a lot heavier than ext4 and not the best option for most desktop workloads. It could actually give worse performance and interactivity if it's a low-end barebones office machine running a web browser/spreadsheet/music. For servers XFS by default sure or something running a database or needing parallel io
01:18.28jonadabErr, do that when _writing_ them, so there's only one version, for those types of files.
01:18.42*** join/#devuan xcm (~xcm@ipa210.225.tellas.gr)
01:19.00gnarfaceagris: i contest that as well.  XFS only looks heavier because it can use more than one core.
01:19.15jonadabBut if you don't specify, you get versioning.  Automatically.  Which is awesome.
01:20.04agristhere's a lot more than core utilization that goes into filesystem performance
01:20.14gnarfaceagris: the only reason i'd recommend hesitation on using xfs is that it's not quite as good at retaining that last-minute write data during hard power failures, but with distros sabotaging ext4 fsck setups by default that is hardly a difference that matters in the wild these days
01:20.33agris> it's not quite as good at retaining that last-minute write data during hard power failures
01:21.16jonadabPower failures should be illegal ;-)
01:21.17agrisThis is also true. and another reason why desktops probably shouldn't run XFS as they don't have UPS units or disk controller batteries and run a wider assortment of software increases risk of crash
01:21.32jonadab(Also
01:21.37gnarfacemy desktops all have a UPS
01:21.48golinuxMine too
01:22.05jonadab(Also, desktop PSUs ought to ship with small UPS batteries built in so they can weather one-second power blinks, which are way more common than longer outages.)
01:22.06gnarfacethe power grid in LA is as dirty as everything else here.  you need a UPS
01:22.22agrisIt also contends to the way XFS uses the system memory. which is fine if your on a server which has tons of higher-latency ram
01:22.27golinuxGives me time to exit gracefully if I'm working
01:22.35agrisdesktops have low-latency and low ram
01:22.44*** join/#devuan voker57 (f00b47@kvirc/developer/Voker57)
01:23.35agrisbut if you've got a big beefy gaming computer and your workload has lots of file descriptors open at the same time then maybe XFS on that kind of desktop can be a good idea
01:24.17agrisbut again test it, because XFS doesn't optimize as hard for sequential block allocation as ext4 does
01:24.18jonadabMy desktop's workload is probably more similar to a server, than to the average person's desktop.
01:24.29gnarfaceTwistedFate said Steam starts way faster on XFS
01:25.17gnarfacei imagine what you'd see is notably faster load times, but probably also notably higher CPU load during updates/patches
01:25.31agrismeaning large file reads on spinning disks will suffer
01:25.56gnarfaceno, the benchmarks in the wild suggest only the writes suffer.  it reads faster than ext4
01:25.57TwistedFatesteam or other program startup time is criminally slow on devuan
01:26.18TwistedFateeven with XFS it starts slow, on funtoo it was almost instant
01:26.35gnarfaceagris: acutally, curiously writes and deletes suffer, but deletes don't suffer as much as they used to with the new default mount options
01:26.54agrisgnarface, be carful with steam and XFS. (And this is not XFS's fault at all but the shitty blob-only software on steam) If an XFS filesystem is using 64-bit inodes a lot of steam games will break
01:27.27gnarfaceagris: they have had all kinds of problems with non-ext* filesystems
01:27.39gnarfaceagris: usually to do with the patching
01:28.03agrisbut hell, steam games can even break on ext4 filesystems larger than 2tb, because ext4 can also use 64bit inodes
01:28.24gnarfacei haven't seen this yet, but do you know of some specific games that were known offenders here?
01:28.29agrisand for some stupid reason, steam is _STILL_ 32bit X86 binary
01:28.52agrisDying Light comes to mind
01:29.03gnarfacehmmm, not one i have, but noted.
01:29.18agristhey may have fixed it by now don't know. early this year they made huge improvements to the linux version.
01:29.18gnarfacethat one had a lot of launch options though i remember. i don't think it was high quality
01:29.29gnarfaces/launch options/launch issues/
01:29.38agrisused to crash to desktop every 30 minutes
01:29.46gnarfaceyea and some rendering problems too
01:29.48agrisnow only crashes to desktop every 2.5 hours
01:29.53gnarfacehehe
01:30.03gnarfacewell it only took them about 2 decades to get l4d stable
01:30.22agrisoh your not running Ubuntu 14.01? fuck you then I won't even accept your coredumps
01:30.35agris*disconnects support session*
01:30.43gnarfaceah, good times
01:32.23agriswho still even runs Ubuntu 14.01 in 2019? That's a big if even for an ubuntu userbase
01:34.13gnarfaceTwistedFate: it might have only been "instant" on funtoo because you had fewer games installed, some of the start-up delay is a factor of how many games it has to check with the server about updates/DRM for
01:34.59gnarfaceusually it's faster to start the second time in the same day
01:36.56agristhat's probably accurate, as my steam library is split across a multi-device ZFS mirror and a dedicated ext4 SSD
01:37.44gnarfacethere seems to be a 3rd cycle too, where the client itself checks for updates at launch, which doesn't seem to happen every time, and that can seem to trigger an extra long game index update for some reason
01:37.51agrisI don't think steam's bottleneck is diskio related
01:38.16gnarfaceeh, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.  it is doing enough stuff really weirdly that you can't just assume
01:38.41agrissteam also runs a big atrociously written bash script where it tries to abuse sudo before it starts up
01:38.42gnarfaceit's clear evidence of a whole lot of bad ideas inherited from the Windows ecology
01:38.55gnarfacebut
01:38.58gnarfacenow we're far off topic
01:39.09gnarfacewe should talk about this type of stuff in #debianfork
01:39.47gnarface(if anyone wants help getting Steam or Steam hardware working in devuan though, i have found some important tricks)
01:40.01agrisso have i
01:44.28agrisgnarface, if you are still having performance issues with your filesystem you have to do more than just mount it as ext4 to fully convert it. This guide has the details to finish the conversion
01:44.29agrishttps://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4#Migrate_existing_Ext3_filesystems_to_Ext4
01:44.48gnarfacenoted, thanks
01:45.58gnarfacei will revisit it at some point.  i got so fed up with the disk corruption issue introduced by the e2fsprogs version mismatch in raspbian that i crossed ext4 off my personal list of trusted filesystems
01:46.47gnarfacethey weren't ready and everyone pushed it up to be the default too soon
01:49.12gnarfaceand i swear some of those installs were fresh ext4 formats, they weren't all ext3 upgrades
01:49.39gnarfacebut it's long enough ago now, maybe there were performance issues that have since been ironed out and i'm not giving it enough credit for making progress
01:50.23agrishuh, using tune2fs -l on that filesystem I showed tests on shows not all the modern features were turned on yet so actually there are further improvements that could be made to improve it's performance
01:50.43agrisyes, ext4 was originally pushed out too soon but by now it's very mature
01:51.30gnarfacei'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt but i'm paranoid so i'm still suspicious someone might have paid you to say that :)
01:51.41agrisI trust ext4 (not setup with batshit settings like it is on the pi) in terms of stability and maturity like I trust ZFS
01:52.39gnarfacehmm, indeed.
01:55.19gnarfacei don't actually trust XFS that much
01:55.30gnarfacebut i've had surprisingly few issues with it
01:57.29gnarfaceagris: what do you know about mitigating SSD wear with ext4?
01:59.41gnarfaceagris: do you recommend raising the value of the "commit" mount option?
02:00.09agrisno just mount with the discard option and relatime
02:01.03agrisuse a namebrand SSD with decent firmware like Samsung or Corsair
02:01.49agrisall my SSDs are sumsung

05:00.55agrisIs there a program I can use on Linux to examine and modify a program's memory live (while the program is running) and perform similar functions to cheat engine?
05:01.04agrischeat engine is only for Windows
05:01.40furrywolfI have absolutely no idea what cheat engine is, but gdb is the standard way you interact with the memory of a running program.
05:02.25agristhe GNU debugger is pretty useful and I've used that in the past to extract fonts, pictures, and other data from dying programs (little endian cpus are weird) but as far as I know you must send a SIGSTOP to the process when debugging in with GDB
05:02.26furrywolfif you want lower-level, you can poke around /proc/<pid>
05:03.58agrisI want some sharper tools than procfs
05:04.03agrisfurrywolf, https://invidio.us/watch?v=PUqSPiJ4BwQ
05:11.58agriswait
05:12.29agrisAre you suggesting I just use a standard file hex editor to the memory of the userspace program via procfs?
05:13.09agristhat's hardly ideal. I'd have to refresh the hex editor to get a live monitor. that's not realtime
05:13.35furrywolfdunno.  as I said, I had no idea what cheat engine was.  :P

18:21.52tsehello, I'm currently having some issues with suspend on lid close. The problem seems to be here: if [ x$LID_SLEEP = xtrue ]; (/etc/acpi/lid.sh). grep-ing for LID_SLEEP in /etc/acpi and /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank yields no results. I'm on ascii
18:26.55masontse: Are you able to sleep manually with pm-suspend?
18:27.36masontse: I haven't looked at automation based on the lid recently, but I can if it seems broken. I prefer controlling it manually, so I can keep my laptop running for brief spans with the lid closed.
18:28.02tseafter having added a line to /etc/sudoers to allow my user to sudo pm-suspend, yes I can.
18:28.46tsebut the problem is that the branch that should run pm-suspend is not even ran, due to that if failing :(

18:29.27masontse: Half a sec, installing that stuff and I'll have a look. I vaguely remember needing some hand-tweaking under Wheezy.
18:29.59tsethank you.
18:31.20masontse: Random note while I poke around, in addition to the acpi-support you installed, there's also laptop-mode-tools.
18:31.29masonBut I'll look at the one you've got.
18:32.26tseoh I was not aware of that package. Which one should I install? Or should I install both?
18:32.39masontse: Did you edit /etc/default/acpi-support?
18:32.45masontse: Let's stick with the one you've got.

18:33.10masontse: Here's my guess...
18:33.15tseno, I did not touch that file
18:33.34masontse: I bet you didn't edit /etc/default/acpi-support, so go in there and uncomment lid support, then service acpid restart
18:33.47tse1 sce
18:37.22tsethat did the trick mason ! thank you very much :)
18:37.44tseabout that laptop-mode-tools package however, where can I read more about it vs acpi-support?
18:38.44masontse: You can download it and read the files. You should be able to use either one. That said, consider what I do and just sleep manually. It's really convenient shutting the lid, going to another room, opening it again.
18:39.20masontse: Just be careful if you install them both, if the packages even allow that. They both try to do some of the same things.
18:40.52tseThank you mason. I'll take that into account. While we're at it, I tried searching for devuan resources on how to use runit, but I came up short. Did I miss something on the website?

18:42.20masontse: I'm not sure there's tooling to use that as your init. You can run it as a service monitor under sysvinit.
18:42.34masontse: If you want it as THE init, it might be worth your exploring it and writing up docs.
18:42.45tseok that's fair enough :)
18:42.54masonI'm part of the lazy crew that just wants plain sysvinit.
18:43.27tseI'm trying my best to have a reliable system, not a broken one, so I figure I 'm not the right man to brave those waters :)
18:44.02masontse: There is mention of moving to runit here on Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/Init
18:45.37*** join/#devuan mith_ (~Mithrandi@37.160.81.217)
18:45.42tseOh, and there is another thing I would like to understand about devuan: is the objective of the distribution to always follow debian modulo systemd, or is it possible that in the future packages are added (or updated) out of sync with debian?
18:46.24masontse: The former as I understand it. I think the tacit goal is for Debian to allow sysvinit (and possibly other inits) as first class citizens again. I suspect it'll have to be the latter eventually.
18:47.22tseyou suspect it will have to be the former since you don't believe debian will ever have alternative init systems as first class citizens?
