07:33.48SlayerXPmorning
07:34.05SlayerXPthis morning I are mostly realising how stupid I can be sometimes
07:36.35mozratMorning
07:36.48morsingSlayerXP: Isn't that a good thing :-)
07:36.55morsingmorning mozrat
07:37.44SlayerXPsometimes
07:38.18SlayerXPfor a new server (1u dual opteron w/ scsi raid) I made /boot a seperate partition
07:39.27mozratSlayerXP: and?
07:41.05SlayerXPi then couldn't figure out why grub complained that /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.7 was missing
07:41.15mozratFor anyone who didn't see the papers this morning yet >> http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,19809-1565687,00.html << MP and photoshop gaffe
07:42.50mozratSlayerXP: you weren't mounting /boot in fstab?
07:43.07mozratno, thats not right
07:44.04SlayerXPno
07:44.14SlayerXPthe correct path is /vmlinux-2.6.11.7
07:44.40SlayerXPalso the "root" directive does not mean your root partition in the traditional linux sense
07:45.02SlayerXPit means "define / as relates to the location of the kernel"
07:45.13mozratI see

12:06.51mozratinstalling a windows server over ILO card is torture
12:07.07mozratit's taken 2 minutes just to display the HP EULA
12:07.18mozratlet alone try and move the mouse anywhere
12:09.45mozratI know! they were like one character apart
12:10.25mozratI'm sure for the amount of time it takes to move the mouse a few mm on my desk and wait for the server console to catch up I could fly out there and install it locally
12:20.15morsingwethrin: ?
12:33.38SlayerXPAnd the Lord said unto John; Come forth and receive eternal life. But John came fifth and won a toaster.
12:41.56Jang-anyone had any experience with Enermax?

13:09.40edwardhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/12/via_open_source/ <-- VIA releases firmware source code. that'll make debian happy
13:09.50SlayerXPJang-: I've use Enermax PSUs pretty much exclusively
13:16.25benmfhi - you can ssh into ilo using a text console. that's much less painful.
13:16.51benmfthere is also the xml scripting. but if you get it wrong it usually needs a reflash :(
13:17.01benmfbtw - hello!
13:17.21Jang-SlayerXP: so, from that i can infer that you think they are worth getting
13:17.27Jang-good, cos i've just ordered one

13:17.39Jang-my Hiper started smoking last week
13:17.54SlayerXPJang-: yeah, they're good PSUs
13:18.19Jang-the one i've ordered should be fairly future proof, considering it's the 660W model
13:18.53Jang-do you happen to know the guarantee length?
13:19.38SlayerXPthe guarantee is this long:   <------------------------->
13:19.41SlayerXP(not to scale)
13:20.14Jang-i see
13:48.07morsingHow can I make sure I have no connection problems on my phone line?
13:48.27wethrinPhone BT
13:48.29wethrinAsk them to test
13:49.50morsingCan they find even small intermittent problem from my master socket?
13:50.08wethrinIf it's between the exchange and your socket, possibly
13:50.20highburythere is a self-test facility
13:50.44highburyyou call 151 from the number and they, can test the line
13:51.15highburyit worked for me to pick up some wiring problems oustide of my flat
13:51.50highburyotherwise, sign up for some freebie ISP (I recommend One-Tel) and do some timing tests

16:52.02highburyanybody recommend a good free music download site? I just tried a ukranian site, but am not having any luck
16:52.38murballofmp3?
16:52.49murboh i didn't read the question.
17:06.48highburymurb: you have a full url? I've been trying mp3.ua and get very close to downloading what I want, and then suddenly it asks for extra passwords which I don't have, and all the page is in Ukranian :-)

18:39.42highburymurb: it doesn't appear to be a free site
18:39.57murb17:52 < murb> oh i didn't read the question.
18:40.20Blaptohighbury, just use some gnutella based client
18:40.56highburyyep, I've used overnet in the past, that seemed to work
18:55.59BlaptoOooh
18:56.17BlaptoEd just made 0.2mm double sided PCB.  Nice.
18:57.37murbl
18:58.59BlaptoOf course highbury, only download the music if you have a legal right to it.

21:14.12rhoweI *TOLD* him around midday today that it was out of fucking space
21:15.07murblvextend -L 2T /dev/VG01/LV01_home
21:15.10murbeasily :-)
21:16.04rhoweIf there was anywhere to extend it to :)
21:16.12rhoweI could extend it onto /dev/null, I guess
21:16.18rhoweext3 might not like that though
21:17.42rhoweI mean really, who the hell leaves the company email server with no disk space for 18 hours
21:17.55rhoweEmails are going to be bouncing for Singapore all goddamn day
21:22.03murbwell that was painless, just installed netbsd under Xen.
21:22.30rhowe$boss failed to get Linux working under Xen
21:22.34rhoweSo he booted the livecd instead
21:25.13murbbasically you get a kernel called netbsd_INSTALL which includes a mfs with the installer, and point it at a block device boot it and use the normal installer, without all the faffing about with rbeooting etc.
21:29.18JAVrhowe: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mapper/VG01-LV01_home  :)
21:29.54rhoweheh
21:30.56murbrhowe: you'd want writes goign to /dev/null but reads could come from /dev/random
21:31.05murbthen users would just have to be lucky.
21:31.09rhowemurb: urandom
21:31.13murbrhowe: nope.
21:31.23murbthat would be bad, as a PRNG is not going to the right thing!
21:31.58rhoweBut it'll do it fast!
21:32.01rhowe(er)
21:32.25murbbut you don't have the excuse that it was just bad luck when they don't get their files back!
21:32.54rhowetrue :)
