May 05 19:06:13 <Reedy_Boy> Morning
May 05 19:09:14 <Reedy_Boy> If anyones about, i want some advice about some post-unslinging things to do
May 05 19:13:16 <Reedy_Boy> well, i would like
May 05 19:20:24 <capbot> caplink811 :)
May 05 19:21:11 <Reedy_Boy> lol, it smiles at you
May 05 19:21:18 <Reedy_Boy> morning caplink811
May 05 19:21:34 <caplink811-log> morning Reedy_Boy 
May 05 19:21:56 <Reedy_Boy> can i pick your brains?
May 05 19:22:29 <Reedy_Boy> or can you advise me?
May 05 19:23:31 <caplink811> dunno, just ask, and we'll see
May 05 19:24:31 <Reedy_Boy> right
May 05 19:24:41 <Reedy_Boy> i've just unslung my other slug
May 05 19:24:47 <Reedy_Boy> to a 8GB usb device
May 05 19:25:21 <Reedy_Boy> i thought it was a flash drive, but it seems, it has a mini 1" seagate hard drive in it
May 05 19:26:22 <Reedy_Boy> and, its reccommended using touch /.ext3flash and diverting the swap on a flash drive
May 05 19:26:26 <Reedy_Boy> do you think i should for this
May 05 19:27:59 <caplink811> well, that depends, if you need no swap (which depemds on the applications you would use) then it might be ok
May 05 19:28:32 <Reedy_Boy> hmm
May 05 19:28:48 <Reedy_Boy> well, im gonna probably be setting up apache and mysql and php
May 05 19:28:52 <Reedy_Boy> as well as samba and such
May 05 19:29:35 <caplink811> then you need definitivly swap space, remeber, the ram is only 32mb
May 05 19:30:05 <caplink811> s/remeber/remember/
May 05 19:30:05 <capbot> caplink811 meant: then you need definitivly swap space, remember, the ram is only 32mb
May 05 19:31:26 <Reedy_Boy> yeah
May 05 19:33:04 <Reedy_Boy> lol
May 05 19:33:51 * caplink811 gmables around with irc clients...
May 05 19:35:18 <Reedy_Boy> ah
May 05 19:40:43 <capbot> mika_ :)
May 05 19:41:48 <Reedy_Boy> how come there is teh touch /.ext3flash and the diversion script with /sbin/swapoff /dev/sda3
May 05 19:41:48 <Reedy_Boy> return 1
May 05 19:45:19 <Reedy_Boy> whats the difference?
May 05 19:45:50 <caplink811> afair, .ext3flash is recommended in the readme, right?
May 05 19:48:11 <Reedy_Boy> it isn't mentioned in the 6.8 readme
May 05 19:48:14 <Reedy_Boy> it is in the wiki
May 05 19:48:23 <caplink811> hm, no, it isn't, where can i find anything about .ext3flash?
May 05 19:48:50 <Reedy_Boy> it is
May 05 19:48:53 <Reedy_Boy> let me get the link
May 05 19:48:58 <Reedy_Boy> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Ext3flash
May 05 19:50:24 <caplink811> just found it, and you c the difference, between ext3flash and the divertion script, which only switch off the swap
May 05 19:57:08 <Reedy_Boy> so does this do both things?
May 05 19:58:49 <caplink811> yes, that is what i assume
May 05 19:59:04 <caplink811> and what the wiki page mentioned
May 05 19:59:28 <Reedy_Boy> hmm
May 05 19:59:37 <Reedy_Boy> wonder why drif told me to do both then before....
May 05 20:00:42 <caplink811> dunno, but it may be, that it worked with unslung-5.5 in a different way
May 05 20:07:21 <[1]Reedy_Boy> Hi
May 05 20:08:34 <caplink811> splitted personality?
May 05 20:10:58 <[1]Reedy_Boy> lol
May 05 20:11:03 <[1]Reedy_Boy> i got a maxDSL regrade
May 05 20:11:07 <[1]Reedy_Boy> and my internet is all over the place
May 05 20:13:26 <[1]Reedy_Boy> damn BT
May 05 20:24:18 <Reedy_Boy> yay
May 05 21:59:31 <neoXite> is there a way to set or reset the nslu2's mac address when using the retail linksys firmware? when i tried opendebian, it permanently set my mac address to 00:02:B3:01:01:01
May 05 22:00:08 <neoXite> now the slug keeps that address even when running the retail firmware. i haven't found anything in the wiki, any ideas?
May 05 22:03:26 <caplink811_log> neoXite,  hm, normally the mac adress isn't touch by any firmware, but you may talk to EvilDevil at this problem (at channel #nslu2-german)
May 05 22:08:39 <neoXite> okay thanks, fortunately that's my native language =P
May 05 22:09:55 <caplink811_log> that is what i assume ;)
May 06 02:07:54 <Flymaster> is anyone around that could answer a quick question about Unslung 6?
May 06 08:37:39 <rico> hi all
May 06 08:39:24 <rico> I'm using openwrt on an asus WL500gx Accesspoint, and it works great. Now while searching a way for spinning down my external "western digital" 30GB IDE harddrive with an usb adapter I found http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/WhatPeopleAreReallyUsingTheirSlugsFor
May 06 08:40:48 <rico> unfortunately I don't know what to do. the hdparm solution is denied by openwrt people stating that this "was not the way of doing it", on the other hand they don't give alternatives :I
May 06 08:42:10 <rico> so my question would be: has anyone managed to spin down his western digital on any of the inside the link mentioned ways?
May 06 08:44:34 <rico> sorry, wrong link
May 06 08:44:35 <rico> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/SpinDownUSBHarddisks
May 06 09:21:29 <pahartik> rico: does "scsi-spin --down /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc" (or whichever SCSI device it shows up as) not work to spin it down?
