**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 18 02:59:56 2007 Mar 18 08:12:03 anyone had any luck installing debian etch-rc2 on the slug? Mar 18 08:27:39 why does the debian slug bring down eth0 and not bring it back up during the install? Mar 18 12:29:51 Hello. Mar 18 12:30:14 hi Mar 18 12:32:32 Is there a way to search the live irc archives? When I try to search Google with option site:unslung.org, it only gives this link: http://www.unslung.org/downloads.php) Mar 18 12:33:48 Or is there a tar file of the archives, so I could do a grep search from all of the bunch? Mar 18 12:35:14 I was trying to find how to add another disk to an Unslung setup, now the slug only accepts root password with one disk setup (the original). Mar 18 16:19:45 Anyone here currently using the nslu2 with a tv tuner to record shows? Mar 18 16:26:34 anyone alive? Mar 18 16:31:50 @ask Mar 18 16:31:52 ~ask Mar 18 16:31:55 If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes. Mar 18 16:32:04 Just post it and wait ;) Mar 18 16:32:07 ~botsnack Mar 18 16:32:08 Reedy_Boy: thanks Mar 18 16:32:11 Anyone here currently using the nslu2 with a tv tuner to record shows? Mar 18 16:32:18 done :) Mar 18 16:32:23 now to play the waiting game Mar 18 16:34:10 If you have a specific question, it'd be better to ask that than just leave the more general question of is anyone doing it Mar 18 16:34:27 oh Mar 18 16:34:30 right right Mar 18 16:35:49 How to add another disk to one-disk Unslung setup? Now the slug only accepts root password with the original (one-disk) setup. Mar 18 16:37:09 I’d like to know if it’s possible to simultaneously run a torrent app and record shows (using WinTV USB2 TV Capture hardware)? Mar 18 16:39:08 MuxF: ? Not understanding your problem -- just plug the disk in :) Mar 18 16:40:03 Just like that, without shutting down the slug? Mar 18 16:40:38 Not recommended to hot-plug, does something not work if you shut it down and add it? Mar 18 16:42:12 Yep, the root password doesn't work if I boot with two disks. Mar 18 16:42:59 Did you originally unsling to USB port 2, and is the new disk formatted by the NSLU2? Mar 18 16:43:12 Yes, yes. Mar 18 16:44:13 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6 , section "Exception to Rule #1" Mar 18 16:45:35 You don't actually have to reflash; you can reset the flags that mark which port the primary drive should be plugged into, power it down, swap the primary drive to USB port 1, and then reboot -- then the problem should be resolved. Mar 18 16:46:15 Soo... just switching the ports and drives isn't enough? Mar 18 16:46:56 Nope, need to change the flags that tell the device where the root filesystem is. Boot it up with the single drive in USB 2 as normal, then: Mar 18 16:47:27 mv /.sda1root /.sdb1root Mar 18 16:47:47 mv /initrd/.sda1root /initrd/sdb1root Mar 18 16:47:59 oops, strike that last line, it should be: Mar 18 16:48:12 mv /initrd/.sda1root /initrd/.sdb1root Mar 18 16:48:52 Oh - if you get those two lines wrong, it might not boot - so be careful, and use the "ls -l" command as appropriate to make sure the files are renamed. Mar 18 16:49:14 (apologize if that's obvious to you, I don't know how much Linux experience you have!) Mar 18 16:49:23 Ok, I'll try that. Mar 18 16:50:40 Oh - one other thing -- when you do that, some of the share names and some other things might move about: "DISK 2" will become "DISK 1" on the network. Mar 18 16:50:58 No problem there, both disks are empty now. Mar 18 17:01:06 Woo hoo, it worked! Thanks a million! :-) Mar 18 17:01:12 :) Mar 18 17:08:59 Now I'll try to config the two-disk setup to use raid1. Mar 18 17:28:25 MuxF: attempting that on Unslung will almost certainly require a serial console (and is beyond what Unslung is intended to do) Mar 18 17:28:45 You'd have better luck with SlugOS (aka OpenSlug). Mar 18 18:16:41 Oh, good to know. I thought to try with this guide: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/Raid1onUnslung6 Mar 18 18:18:58 MuxF: yep, do try it, but I thought I'd set your expectations -- because of the way Unslung shuts down (which is a controlled crash, really), there's little success with RAID on Unslung in general. The filesystems get messed up all the time. Mar 18 18:19:20 Bummer. Mar 18 18:20:37 Still, I have to try. The two Lacie enclosures that I have seem to use Maxtor drives... it's better to try to mirror them than just use them. Mar 18 18:21:02 Ah, so I thought as well. But I've come to the conclusion that for folks who are up for working with RAID, OpenSlug is no problem for them to master. Mar 18 18:21:39 * mwester has no problems with Maxtor, although he stays away from the Hitachi "Deathstars" Mar 18 18:22:00 * mwester finds they run too hot for enclosures without fans Mar 18 18:28:10 Hmm, I'll take the OpenSlug stuff on my get-to-know -list. Mar 19 01:49:19 can someone tell me why http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/MemoryMap says 16MB flash, I thought it was 8MB? Mar 19 01:50:49 is this just the addressable space? I.e., if you used a 32MB flash, you would not be able to use it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 19 02:59:57 2007
