00:54.35systemdletegnarface:  The thing with my setup is that the 4-bay unit has one 140mm fan.  In fact, I upgraded from the 3-bay version because that one had two small 60mm (or maybe 40mm, idr now) fans, which were noisier and less efficient.   So I think the fan can probably be ruled out in this instance.
00:55.08systemdleteAlso, mdadm is software raid, so there is no hardware raid controller, either.  But it is good to remind me about those issues.
00:58.07systemdleteYour thinking about negligence in package handling due to the quarantine was my thinking also!  I just received a usb-ethernet dongle whose activity/link LEDs did not work and did not seem able to achieve a full 100Mbps, let alone the 1 or 2 Gbps it was rated for (USB3/gigabit ethernet).  So, yeah.  I am seriously wondering if this is all due to less stringent manufacturing and handling (shipping) practices due to the pandemic.
00:58.18systemdleteIt certainly seems likely.
01:00.13systemdleteAnd, no.  It's a plain old 2 drive RAID1.  Actually 3, once a spare is possible.  I have had 2 of my 3 500GB drives die on me in the past couple months, and I had 2 2TB WD drives standing by.  I had not prepped them since I got them LAST summer (2019), before the crisis.   So when push came to shove, I tried to use them, and one of them was bad right out of the box!
01:00.46systemdleteI am trying to make it a practice to sort of burn in new drives BEFORE they are needed, but I got lazy.
01:02.43systemdleteI just walked the bad drive and the bad dongle to the UPS and the Fedex place, respectively.  The air is poison due to all the fires here.  I am in Sacramento, due east of the NLU complex fire, and the air is thick with smoke.  The mask was helpful in more ways than one today.
01:03.03systemdleteMy eyes are still burning...
01:04.18systemdleteI'm concluding maybe some build-up of oxidation on the contacts in the 3rd of the 4 bays.
01:04.50systemdleteMaybe just a few blasts of CO2 is needed
01:08.35gnarfaceworth a try
01:09.04systemdleteWell, I might have my answer.  I just looked at the logs -- and my email from mdadm -- the new WD drive is down.
01:09.29systemdleteIt's the Toshiba drive I just replaced.
01:09.44systemdleteThe WD drive had been working... I thought.
01:10.07systemdleteThat was the one that had the constant activity light on earlier.

01:39.46systemdleteIt is possible my drive needs to be "quirked" for my specific model and firmware.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907193.  Of course, that's RH and they are talking Seagate drives, but it is the same bug.
01:40.18systemdletehdparm -I shows that a similar feature (DMA auto-activate) is supported, but not enabled.

02:20.37masonVall: switch to deb.devuan.org

02:24.38golinuxThat is a mess.
02:24.42masonVall: Can you use bpaste.net or termbin.com or something not so heavily ad- and javascript-infested? Thanks in advance.
02:24.52Vallmason, tuxd3v: this patticular VM is still on jessie.
02:24.59Vallmason: will do, 1 min
02:25.15golinuxFirst always use codenames not suite in your sources
02:25.36masonVall: Update it all the way, then change sources to point to ASCII, then update and dist-upgrade, reboot, rinse and repeat.
02:25.41Vallhttps://bpa.st/7HUA
02:25.46masonty, lookin
02:25.57golinuxAnd don't use packages.roundr.devuan.org:http:
02:26.25Vallgolinux: I never changed that. It must have come as part of the Jessie install.
02:26.26masonOoh, yeah, referring to stable has interesting consequences. Theoretically it will cause you to follow stable through upgrades, but in practise it's a bit more fraught with peril than that.
02:27.03golinuxExactly.
02:27.06masonVall: Can you share your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
02:27.11tuxd3v👍
02:27.12Vallsure, 1 min
02:27.50Vall# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
02:27.51Valldeb http://packages.devuan.org/merged stable main
02:28.00Vall(just this one line)
02:28.06masonVall: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nv termbin.com 9999
02:28.13masonah
02:28.16Vall(for 1 line?)
02:28.17golinuxThings have changed a lot since jessie.  Read the release notes and website for the latest tips.
02:28.19VallOK ;-)
02:28.41VallNo problem. But should jessie stop working just like that?
02:28.52masonSo, yeah, deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie main         should be correct
02:28.59golinuxYes.  If the repositories have been moved around
02:29.11masonRight now referring to stable will do very much the wrong thing.
02:29.35VallOK, mason, thanks. Will change to "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie main" as per your guidance
02:29.38Vall1 min
02:29.45golinuxWell, not at the current time but when bullseye goes stable it will for sure
02:30.11masonVall: apt update and see if it's happy, before upgrading anything
02:30.31golinuxTime for tea here . . .
02:31.05masonVall: Then the usual process... Delete any packages you can easily replace to make the upgrade less painful, note them to reinstall later. Update to the latest for the branch, reboot, then move up *one* release and repeat.
02:31.06Vallcomplaining of GPG key:
02:31.09masongolinux: Enjoy!
02:31.38VallW: GPG error: http://deb.devuan.org jessie InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY BB23C00C61FC752C
02:31.49Valllooking for the key to import
02:32.33VallWhich is the keyserver for devuan?
02:32.50masonI believe you can pull from the public servers unproblematically.
02:33.24VallOK got it from the Ubuntu keyserver (believe it or not!)
02:33.50masonThe state of GPG since the signature attacks is kind of unfortunate.
02:33.54*** join/#devuan timeless (sid4015@firefox/developer/timeless)
02:33.56masonor rather keyservers
02:34.04Vallheh
02:34.17VallAnyway, apt seems happy now
02:34.21VallThanks mason!
02:34.32masonVall: cool
02:34.50masonVall: just remember to take it slow and steady. update before dist-upgrade, let it do as little as it can on each hop
02:34.59masontake out packages so you give it less to have to upgrade, etc.
02:35.21masonIt's just like Debian in how you do it safely.

18:19.17systemdleteThis is only a warning, but it does fill up the logs.  I am running 4.9.0-13-amd64.

18:22.34nemosystemdlete: any reason you're not on beowulf?
18:22.42nemoseems easiest way to see if a driver has been fixed..
18:22.52systemdleteIt's on my list.
18:23.05systemdleteYes, I agree.  Just been busy doing other stuff.
18:23.08nemoit's apparently some buggy USB from DDGing for the error
18:23.14nemowhich increases likelihood that upgrading will fix
18:23.21nemosince buggy peripherals are a neverending linux driver fight
18:23.29nemomaybe try using different peripherals
18:23.43systemdleteI am limited on the peripherals issue.
18:23.59systemdleteOnly some usb-ethernet dongles are supported for my application.
18:24.28systemdleteThese were working fine for the longest time.  It's just started acting up the past few weeks or so, probably since a kernel upgrade.
18:25.03systemdletebtw, what is "DDGing?"
18:30.45yanmaanisearching on duckduckgo
18:32.38systemdleteoh, thanks
18:32.56systemdleteI use DDG myself.  Although, I am starting to think about swisscow instead.
18:33.25systemdleteThat disk drive problem yesterday?  Gone.  Totally.
18:33.50systemdleteAll I did was reboot, fix the file systems (which were in poor shape) and now everything seems happy.
18:34.16systemdleteNo more errors about DMA AA not working -- in fact, hdparm -I shows the drive has AA activated!
18:34.46systemdleteI am really not sure what went awry, but it may be due to the fact I leave my computer up for weeks at a time.
18:35.34systemdleteNo strange noises from any of the drives, no kern.log notices, warnings, or errors.  I did not touch any hardware (other than to blast some CO2 on the connectors in the bay).
18:36.33systemdleteI was, however, running a dozen VMs of varying sizes, and core memory was running tight.  But I did not observe any "funny" behavior within the VMs.  All seemed to work as advertised and expected.
