| 09:45.01 | ChoHag | yum update swallowed an entire CPU before I killed it. It never got as far as working out that it didn't have a network. |
| 10:00.48 | ChoHag | Hmm. The latest Oracle Linux comes with MySQL 5.1. |
| 11:31.37 | ChoHag | It would have helped if they'd asked me what equipment to buy rather than buying equipment they don't understand on the recommendation of a salesdroid. |
| 11:32.14 | ChoHag | For one thing, there's be more SSD and less local storage. |

| 12:21.26 | dick_turpin | morsing: Have you ever used your wife's mirror to look at your sphincter? |
| 13:04.19 | ChoHag | Seems Dell's raid controller only lets you have raid-1 in pairs. |
| 13:04.45 | ChoHag | Because who'd want to increase redundancy and read speed at the expense of sweet fuck all? |
| 13:07.16 | Armand | Nobody.. right? |
| 13:08.03 | ChoHag | Apparently. |
| 13:08.16 | ChoHag | And never mind reducing the risk of failure during reconstruction. |
| 13:08.35 | ChoHag | Reducing the impact from compounded failuer during reconstruction, sorry. |
| 13:11.34 | ChoHag | If I decide on raid-10, each raid-1 span can include more than a simple pair. |
| 13:11.48 | ChoHag | But raid-1 on its own is a 2-way mirror only. |
| 13:11.58 | wethrin | Use zfs :) |
| 13:12.53 | ChoHag | I WANT TO! |
| 13:13.34 | wethrin | DO EEET |
| 13:14.48 | ChoHag | Nobody here will understand it. |
| 13:15.40 | wethrin | So they won't know that you're doing it properly :) |
| 13:16.30 | ChoHag | They have so little clue, this is what they've dumped on me: 3x R720s, dual CPUs totalling 16 2.6GHz cores, 96GB RAM, 16x 146GB 15K SAS drives. To run a ~10GB, largely write-only, mysql database. |
| 13:17.03 | ChoHag | Unfortunately, what I need to produce is not a database, but the instructions for deploying it. |
| 13:17.23 | wethrin | That's quite a nice configuration :) |
| 13:17.25 | wethrin | Overkill, mind |
| 13:17.26 | ChoHag | Otherwise they'd get something which doesn't suck. |
| 13:17.36 | ChoHag | Hah. Just a bit. |
| 13:17.59 | wethrin | Set up ESXi on it. And then steal the extra resources for your own little virtual machine empire |
| 13:18.43 | Armand | MMMmmmmmm.... memcached. |
| 13:18.43 | Armand | Hold up.. |
| 13:18.43 | Armand | WRITE only ? |
| 13:18.43 | Armand | fails to comprehend.. |
| 13:21.34 | ChoHag | largely write only |
| 13:22.19 | ChoHag | It's basically a log of results from tests run on the factory floor. |
| 13:35.21 | ChoHag | Any idea if I can export the dell h710 configuration so they don't have to use the raid configuration tool in the bios? |
| 13:47.10 | Armand | I get you. |
| 13:47.57 | Armand | As I work with webhosts, everything is kinda dynamic.. so databases will be read//write. Anything else just doesn't seem logical. :P |
| 13:48.50 | ChoHag | Reading is done mostly from one of the slaves for reports and suchlike. |
| 13:49.06 | ChoHag | How bloody long can this POS server scan for devices? |
| 13:49.21 | ChoHag | All I did was change the raid settings. |
| 14:16.50 | AndyMillar | new hardware is a pain like that |
| 14:20.41 | ChoHag | No it wasn't because of that. |
| 14:21.11 | ChoHag | The scan had finished, but then there was nothing to boot because everything was blank. |
| 14:21.36 | ChoHag | So Dell in their wisdom decided the thing to do was just sit there with a message on the screen telling me the action it's performing could take a long time. |
| 14:22.52 | ChoHag | Also, idrac is shit. |
| 14:23.12 | ChoHag | And I cannot escape the conclusion that much of what's shit is intentional. |
| 14:25.33 | ChoHag | I liked LOM. |
| 14:26.00 | ChoHag | Real lom. None of this lom-over-tcp bullshit for the windows twats who don't know what a computer actually is. |
| 14:37.17 | wethrin | The Sun one over serial port? |
| 14:57.51 | ChoHag | Yes. |
| 14:58.25 | ChoHag | It didn't try to be clever. |
| 14:58.28 | wethrin | It was nice |

| 16:43.34 | ChoHag | Ah what a species. |
| 16:43.35 | ChoHag | Dude steals 89 cents worth of Coke, US government gives him a ticket for $525. |
| 16:43.35 | ChoHag | Bankers bring down the entire economy and require $16 trillion in loans[1] to keep the sham going, nobody bats an eye. |
| 16:43.48 | ChoHag | Hah! |
| 16:43.49 | ChoHag | Yeah but... there wasn't a sign up that said "No Ruining The Economy" |
| 19:02.36 | ChoHag | The nice thing about a tiny phase differential is that it will correct itself. |
| 19:02.36 | ChoHag | The bad thing about a big phase differential is that it will also correct itself. |
