| 13:55 | <@ToxicFrog> | ;.; |
| 13:55 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm getting 70MBps off the SCSI drives, which is acceptably close to the stated maximum of 80. |
| 13:55 | <@ReivZzz> | ... |
| 13:55 | <@ReivZzz> | ;_; ? |
| 13:55 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm getting 8-10 off the ATA drives, when I know the bus can do at least 33 and the drives 100. |
| 13:55 | <@ReivZzz> | ... |
| 13:55 | <@ReivZzz> | Pft. |
| 13:55 | | * ReivZzz gives TF a cookie. |
| 13:56 | <@ReivZzz> | I think something is wrong. |
| 13:56 | | * ToxicFrog nibbles it |
| 13:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | Quite possibly. |
| 13:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | ATA has never liked me much. |
| 13:56 | <+fhtagncaps> | Clearly. |
| 13:56 | <@ReivZzz> | Didn't you splice the power in? |
| 13:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes. |
| 13:56 | <@ReivZzz> | You checked voltages, I am assuming? |
| 13:56 | <@ToxicFrog> | And it clearly worked, since I'm doing IO operations on the drives right now and nothing has exploded, burst into flames, or declared sentience. |
| 13:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | Of course. |
| 13:57 | | * ReivZzz nods. |
| 13:57 | | * ReivZzz dunno. |
| 13:57 | | * ReivZzz blames the internet. |
| 13:57 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | The bios has picke dup the right UDMA mode? |
| 13:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well, that's the thing. |
| 13:57 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | That sounds to me like it's running in PIO mode |
| 13:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | On boot, it selects MDMA2 (!?) |
| 13:58 | <+fhtagncaps> | Hrm. |
| 13:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | The bus can do at least UDMA2 and the drives UDMA5. |
| 13:58 | <+fhtagncaps> | Set them to UDMA5, then. |
| 13:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | But when I select UDMA2, it makes absolutely no difference in performance. |
| 13:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | If I select UDMA5, I get complains in the syslog about how UDMA levels above 2 are nonfunctional. |
| 13:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | Presumably the bus only talks UDMA2. |
| 13:59 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | I would suspect so, sounds liek your IDE controller is crippled or old |
| 14:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | Well. This is a many years old box and when it was designed the IDE controllers were meant for emergencies only in any case. |
| 14:00 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Ah, hrm |
| 14:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | After sticking two Ultra II Wide SCSI controllers in it, the IDE controllers were kind of an afterthought. |
| 14:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | So it is entirely plausible that they top out at UDMA2. |
| 14:01 | <@ToxicFrog> | Still doesn't answer why UDMA2 isn't any faster than MDMA2, though. |
| 14:02 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | To be honest I've never even /heard/ of MDMA2 |
| 14:02 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | And if it really wa srunnign in UDMA/2 it should be doing 33.3MBps |
| 14:02 | <@ToxicFrog> | It's the predecessor to UDMA. |
| 14:02 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | (theoretically) |
| 14:03 | <@ToxicFrog> | stands for "multiword DMA" |
| 14:03 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Ah, so I see |
| 14:03 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | 16.7MBps maximum |
| 14:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | That sounds about right. |
| 14:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | Argh. "Not enough physical extents available"? My ass! |
| 14:04 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Although, that said, PIO4 runs 16.7 too, so it may not even be using DMA at all. |
| 14:05 | <@ToxicFrog> | If it's not using MDMA, then hdparm is lying to me. |
| 14:05 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Ah, fair enough |
| 14:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | Argh. This means I'm going to have to run resize2fs again. |
| 14:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | Which, last time, took six hours. |
| 14:07 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | >.< |
| 14:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | It should be faster this time, since it'll only be shrinking it by 12GB rather than 100, but still. |
| 14:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | (ahahahahaha, Orias is using 2GB for filesystem cache and rw bufferes) |
| 14:09 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | ... what've you been doing? :D |
| 14:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | Moving data between drives in chunks of up to 40GB at a time. |
| 14:10 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Ah, yeah, that'd do it |
| 14:11 | <@ToxicFrog> | Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.2% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.7% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.2% si, 0.0% st |

| 14:14 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Probably not the best place to ask, but nobody would happen to know if perl has a handy shortcut for my($var1,$var2,$var3) = ($1,$2,$3); for regexp capture variables? |
| 14:14 | <@ToxicFrog> | No clue, sorry. |
| 14:15 | <@McMartin> | That doesn't seem to require much abbreviation. |
| 14:15 | <@McMartin> | "Okay, I've seen games where you have a limited time before you starve. I've seen games where you have a limited time before a monster eats you. I've even seen games where you have a limited time before your bladder bursts." |
| 14:15 | <@McMartin> | "I must admit I've never seen a game where you have a limited time before you fling yourself off a balcony." |
| 14:15 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hee. |
| 14:17 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Hrm, would appear to not be possible, ahwell |
| 14:17 | <@ToxicFrog> | As McM said, that looks pretty concise already. |
| 14:18 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. I tested it again, and UDMA2 appears to be 10KBps faster than MDMA2. |
| 14:18 | <@ToxicFrog> | This is less than hdparm's margin of error. ;.; |
| 14:19 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Well, no, but I'd prefer to be able to do my ($var1, $var2, $var3) = @N; or something. |
| 14:20 | | ThaquiSleep [~Thaqui@222.154.244.ns-3634] has quit [Ping Timeout] |
| 14:21 | <@ToxicFrog> | I love having a machine that's fast enough to load a new repo file in 15 seconds rather than 5 minutes. |

| 14:30 | <@McMartin> | The new Orias lives, I take it |
| 14:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | Yes. |
| 14:30 | <@ToxicFrog> | I'm currently in the process of setting up mail and LVM. |
| 14:31 | <@McMartin> | "My blood pumper is wronged!" |
| 14:32 | <@ToxicFrog> | Hmm. Ok, I think that to create a SSC for my imapd, I want openssl req -new -x509 -out imapd.pem |
| 14:35 | <@ToxicFrog> | Apparently not. |
| 14:35 | <@McMartin> | I should really sleep more |
| 14:36 | <@McMartin> | But I think I'll wait an hour, eat breakfast, and harass my landlord first. |
| 14:37 | <@ToxicFrog> | Argh. I could swear that last time I installed this, it Just Worked. |
| 14:41 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | ... eugh |
| 14:42 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | I have just found a /wonderful/ bug in moodle's calendar code >.< |
| 14:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | ... |
| 14:43 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | Yes, let us obtain the maximum value in a repeatid field, increment it and then write back several records without locking the table |
| 14:43 | <@ToxicFrog> | Ok, according to "yum whatprovides", the package should have installed a default SSC. |

| 14:52 | <@ToxicFrog> | Mail is up and running again. |
| 14:53 | <@ToxicFrog> | Insofar as it can be when it depends on student.mail.uoguelph.ca not sucking, anyways. |
| 14:55 | <@ToxicFrog> | I swear, one day I need to walk into the CCS office and just ask them why the imap server sucks so much ass. |
| 14:56 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | It seems to be a common feature of university mailservers |
| 14:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | Sometimes, halfway through a retrieve, it'll just stop sending data. |
| 14:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | It'll still hold the socket open, mind you! |
| 14:57 | <@ToxicFrog> | It just won't send anything on it. |
| 14:58 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | They've /finally/ got a box to replace the one in the department here, given that 80% of the time you have to retry before you'll get a connection because it's so busy it won't accept any it needs it. But the guy who should have been setting it off will be off for 6 months because oflukemia |
| 14:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | This kind of freaks out fetchmail. |
| 14:58 | <@TheWatcher[wr0k]> | .. I bet so |
| 14:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | I've found that by limiting it to retrieving 2 messages at a time, it usually works. |

| 19:46 | <@Vornicus> | so we got a new computer, but it can't seem to figure out how to use the ethernet card |
| 19:50 | <@TheWatcher> | Is it just not seeing it, or not loading the driver? |
| 19:50 | < Ev3> | Heh, you got a new leftover reheater. |
| 19:51 | <@Vornicus> | Well, it sees it. |
