Apr 14 06:35:27 <Danicasti> Hi!
Apr 14 13:16:04 <Decodecoding> Hello
Apr 14 13:18:17 <Decodecoding> So I am the only one having trouble with Lf2 self rebooting? :'(
Apr 14 13:36:25 <blogic> :(
Apr 14 13:36:32 <blogic> do you use bandwidth control ?
Apr 14 13:36:47 <Decodecoding> Yes : 50 down / 10 up
Apr 14 13:37:11 <Decodecoding> Let me test with another hard disk
Apr 14 13:37:50 <Decodecoding> The one I use is a quite old one and never had a brilliant performance
Apr 14 13:38:03 <Decodecoding> I must discard that first
Apr 14 13:40:46 <blogic> ok
Apr 14 13:43:03 <Decodecoding> It also happens with a single torrent downloading
Apr 14 13:43:22 <Decodecoding> after many hours I must say, but eventually happens.
Apr 14 13:43:43 <blogic> ok
Apr 14 13:43:45 <blogic> strange
Apr 14 13:44:36 <Decodecoding> I'd also like to have a USB stick. Any model/brand wich is 100% proven to work with LF2? My TDK does not.
Apr 14 13:47:30 <blogic> dude, you have probably the only 2 things that do not work :)
Apr 14 13:47:42 <blogic> as for the TDK i have 1 in the mail to me to see what the problem is
Apr 14 13:47:54 <Decodecoding> :-d
Apr 14 14:19:00 <Decodecoding> Which USB stick brand works fine for you?
Apr 14 14:21:00 <blogic> i have a toshiba 8GB for 12 euros
Apr 14 14:21:03 <blogic> welll
Apr 14 14:21:06 <blogic> i have many devices
Apr 14 14:21:17 <blogic> but the toshiiba is what i use mainly for testing as it is 8GB
Apr 14 14:21:25 <blogic> and has all my debug scripts on it
Apr 14 14:21:35 <Decodecoding> fine
Apr 14 14:22:08 <kazwo> corsair padlock, coirsair voyager and some noname translucent usb sticks
Apr 14 14:22:38 <blogic> i have the nonae translucent ones aswell
Apr 14 14:22:39 <blogic> :)
Apr 14 14:22:53 <iurgi> I have a transcend that doesn't wok
Apr 14 14:22:55 <iurgi> work
Apr 14 14:23:02 <iurgi> then 2 taiwanese brands that work fine
Apr 14 14:23:12 <iurgi> and martin has many sony and others that work fine too
Apr 14 14:24:27 * iurgi thinks that all pendrives work fine
Apr 14 14:24:48 <iurgi> the ones that don't work are because of the type: this "super-floppy" thing blogic mentioned well
Apr 14 14:28:00 <iurgi> whatever that means
Apr 14 14:28:09 * iurgi can't find anything reliable about it in the internet
Apr 14 14:28:11 <iurgi> hmmm
Apr 14 14:28:34 <blogic> super floppy is a brain-fart/child of M$
Apr 14 14:28:39 <blogic> it means there is no MBR
Apr 14 14:29:00 <blogic> designed for floppies but adapted for sd/mmc and now pendrives
Apr 14 14:29:44 <Decodecoding> Mine must be one of that kind...:'(
Apr 14 14:30:24 <iurgi> blogic: yeah, that's what I was looking for... for a reliable way to let Decodecoding see if his is of this type
Apr 14 14:31:14 <blogic> it is not
Apr 14 14:31:23 <blogic> and the tdk ?
Apr 14 14:31:34 <blogic> hmmm
Apr 14 14:32:17 <iurgi> his is not?
Apr 14 14:32:19 <iurgi> darn
Apr 14 14:32:28 <iurgi> then there might be specific chips that don't work?
Apr 14 14:32:35 <Decodecoding> It's the TDK 8GB "Trans-IT"
Apr 14 16:07:26 <kazwo> easter is great, because you can drink all the remaining christmas beer :D
Apr 14 16:14:33 <blogic> hi _32_
Apr 14 16:15:21 <Decodecoding> Why wait for easter when you can do it on january 1st? :-d:-d
Apr 14 16:15:38 <blogic> Decodecoding: exactly
Apr 14 16:15:57 <blogic> i personally think "tuesday" is also a good reason to drink beer
Apr 14 16:16:22 <Decodecoding> yeah
Apr 14 16:30:08 <inouk> blogic, the superdisk thing
Apr 14 16:30:17 <blogic> inouk: yes
Apr 14 16:30:20 <blogic> superfloppy :)
Apr 14 16:30:32 <blogic> i have a hack i think that will fix it
Apr 14 16:30:35 <inouk> the only thing one needs to do is to format the pendrive to make it work again?
Apr 14 16:30:41 <blogic> no
Apr 14 16:30:48 <blogic> you need to partition it first
Apr 14 16:30:49 <blogic> see
Apr 14 16:30:55 <blogic> a superfloppy has only 1 partition
Apr 14 16:31:03 <blogic> hence there is no partition index (MBR)
Apr 14 16:31:15 <blogic> without MBR we cannot detect if there is a MBR or not
Apr 14 16:31:22 <CyrusFF> lol
Apr 14 16:31:23 <blogic> but i have an idea how to work around it
Apr 14 16:31:32 <inouk> can't you write a MBR with dd ?
Apr 14 16:31:32 <blogic> it is M$ legacy crap
Apr 14 16:31:42 <blogic> and chinese vendors test on vista only
Apr 14 16:31:46 <blogic> inouk: nope
Apr 14 16:32:34 <iurgi> blogic: so superfloppy is when the partition name is sda instead of sda1?
Apr 14 16:32:40 <blogic> yes
Apr 14 16:32:44 <iurgi> ahhhhhhhhh
Apr 14 16:32:45 <iurgi> cool
Apr 14 16:32:46 <iurgi> got it
Apr 14 16:32:47 <iurgi> thanks
Apr 14 16:32:48 <inouk> ahhhhhhhhhhh²
Apr 14 16:32:50 <blogic> iurgi: and adding a mbr makes it sda1
Apr 14 16:32:58 <blogic> so
Apr 14 16:33:03 <CyrusFF> can't we check whether the first sector is an mbr?
Apr 14 16:33:09 <blogic> CyrusFF: yes
Apr 14 16:33:19 <blogic> CyrusFF: i have the code here, but no hw to test on :)
Apr 14 16:33:38 <inouk> so it's like a giant MBR
Apr 14 16:33:39 <blogic> http://disktype.sourceforge.net/
Apr 14 16:33:49 <blogic> CyrusFF: i stripped http://disktype.sourceforge.net/ and added it to mountd
Apr 14 16:33:55 <CyrusFF> ok
Apr 14 16:34:03 <blogic> CyrusFF: atm we try to mount blind and eventually one works or not
Apr 14 16:34:05 <iurgi> blogic: can't you format a pendrive in that fashion?
Apr 14 16:34:12 <blogic> iurgi: ?
Apr 14 16:34:15 <blogic> iurgi: on the device ?
Apr 14 16:34:16 <blogic> no
Apr 14 16:34:18 <blogic> 2MB/s
Apr 14 16:34:19 <blogic> :)
Apr 14 16:34:21 <iurgi> ?
Apr 14 16:34:23 <blogic> it would take years
Apr 14 16:34:28 <iurgi> blogic I mean take a pendrive
Apr 14 16:34:32 <iurgi> connect to your linux box
Apr 14 16:34:33 <blogic> ah ok
Apr 14 16:34:34 <iurgi> run fdisk
Apr 14 16:34:39 <blogic> tell me how and i will do it
Apr 14 16:34:41 <iurgi> format it
Apr 14 16:34:41 <CyrusFF> i think there was a magic sequence in every mbr at a fixed location?
Apr 14 16:34:50 <blogic> CyrusFF: true
Apr 14 16:34:51 <iurgi> blogic: fdisk won't let you do that?
Apr 14 16:34:57 <iurgi> I'm pretty sure I did this in the past :P
Apr 14 16:34:57 <blogic> iurgi: i think not
Apr 14 16:35:07 <iurgi> when I was totally stupid
Apr 14 16:35:14 <iurgi> or windows let you do it otherwise
Apr 14 16:35:15 <iurgi> hehe
Apr 14 16:35:29 <blogic> iurgi: find out how to do it and i will add it
Apr 14 16:36:02 <iurgi> ok
Apr 14 16:36:04 <iurgi> no
Apr 14 16:36:10 <iurgi> blogic: I meant do that for testing
Apr 14 16:36:20 <iurgi> not meaning the fonera should fix this units
Apr 14 16:36:30 <blogic> iurgi: yes
Apr 14 16:36:32 <iurgi> but instead of waiting for the pendrive I sent you, try to reproduce the problem
Apr 14 16:36:37 <blogic> iurgi: tell me the fdisk way to do it
Apr 14 16:36:39 <iurgi> ah
Apr 14 16:36:40 <iurgi> ok
Apr 14 16:36:44 <blogic> and i will do it
Apr 14 16:36:50 <blogic> i was too stupid to make it work
Apr 14 16:36:55 <blogic> :)
Apr 14 16:37:33 <iurgi> hehe
Apr 14 16:37:45 <iurgi> hmmm
Apr 14 16:37:51 <iurgi> the transcend superfloppy
Apr 14 16:37:56 <iurgi> has 1 partition /dev/sda1
Apr 14 16:37:58 <iurgi> :O
Apr 14 16:40:13 <iurgi> darn, it's weird
Apr 14 16:40:22 <blogic> hmmm
Apr 14 16:40:25 <blogic> oh well
Apr 14 16:40:26 <blogic> :)
Apr 14 16:40:32 <iurgi> let's wait till you get it
Apr 14 16:40:33 <iurgi> :P
Apr 14 16:40:36 <blogic> oki
Apr 14 16:40:37 <blogic> :)
Apr 14 17:07:01 <kazwo> i am watching you!
Apr 14 17:07:44 <blogic> haha
Apr 14 19:49:41 <Decodecoding> Hi again
Apr 14 19:53:08 <iurgi> hi
Apr 14 19:53:17 <iurgi> will you test torrents with a different disk today?
Apr 14 19:53:32 <Decodecoding> Yes! I'm doing it right now!
Apr 14 19:53:37 <iurgi> great!
Apr 14 19:53:44 <iurgi> I'll try to test it too
Apr 14 19:54:05 <Decodecoding> Now its a seagate barracuda 80 Gb 7200 rpm in a usb 2.0 case
Apr 14 19:54:21 <Decodecoding> ext3 formatted
Apr 14 19:54:26 <iurgi> ok
Apr 14 20:12:55 * iurgi will try to test it too
Apr 14 21:38:05 * iurgi is going to bed
Apr 14 21:38:13 <iurgi> torrents are downloading with open port
