Apr 06 10:37:23 nope, I have mine install on a hard disk Apr 06 10:38:06 partman seems to have a problem dealing with the usb pen Apr 06 12:34:21 anyone recommends a good 'swappiness' value for NSLU2's running Debian? Apr 06 12:40:54 i have 128M on my usb key Apr 06 12:40:56 for the swap Apr 06 12:41:19 I didn't mean that... Apr 06 12:41:23 vm.swappiness value Apr 06 12:41:30 128 to 512 should be ok depends of what you are running Apr 06 12:41:32 ah no idea Apr 06 12:41:33 it's set to 60 by default Apr 06 12:41:44 -f+n Apr 06 12:41:52 this will explain things better Apr 06 12:41:52 http://beranger.org/index.php?article=1547 Apr 06 12:44:39 hm never played with such parameters Apr 06 12:46:09 the hard drive that's connected to my nslu2 is accessed a lot Apr 06 12:46:20 even though there is still free physical memory, my swap space is being used Apr 06 12:46:33 so Im going to try to lower the swappiness value Apr 06 12:46:55 to see if it will bring down the amount of swaps being performed Apr 06 12:47:54 I want to search for 'swappiness' on nslu2-linux.org Apr 06 12:47:59 but the darn website is down Apr 06 12:48:03 it goes down a lot Apr 06 12:49:46 the site is up for me Apr 06 12:51:41 hmmm Apr 06 12:51:46 strange Apr 06 12:51:48 or you could try the yahoo group Apr 06 12:51:50 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/ Apr 06 12:52:12 thanks Apr 06 12:52:51 does yahoo groups still show annoying ads between posts? Apr 06 12:55:33 ads ? dont know i am using firefox with adblock Apr 06 12:57:05 eiffel_, it's ok, thanks for introducing me to this list Apr 06 12:57:10 it's very active!! :) Apr 06 12:58:03 ^^ :-) Apr 06 14:01:35 how can I force fsck to be run on startup on Debian Etch? Apr 06 15:21:33 Hey where is the cheapest place to buy an nslu2 online ? Apr 06 15:25:25 ebay eark they are near a brand new price Apr 06 15:34:00 It's hard to tell where you can find the cheapest Apr 06 15:34:20 I once bought a new one from OfficeDepot for 4x.xx Apr 06 15:34:44 maybe check to see if there is anyone selling in our community Apr 06 15:35:26 ok Apr 06 15:35:29 let me reboot Apr 06 15:38:06 damn Apr 06 15:38:18 I'd buy another one for $40 Apr 06 15:39:23 ok so you said to check the community if someone sell one you mean on nslu2-linux.org forum ? Apr 06 15:39:26 it was a clearance event and I got the last one :D Apr 06 15:39:50 and if i buy a brand new is it sure it will be the 266mhz version ? Apr 06 15:40:29 I don't know, the one I picked up for at OD is still 133 mhz Apr 06 15:40:35 but mod is easy Apr 06 15:40:45 ok Apr 06 15:42:22 but from the 133mhz and 266mhz without modification what is different in the case ? Apr 06 15:42:28 new processor brand ? Apr 06 15:43:00 dont no :P Apr 06 15:44:15 ok Apr 06 15:54:15 don't worry about the mod from 133 to 266 Apr 06 15:54:18 it's easy and doable Apr 06 15:54:27 trust me Apr 06 15:54:58 ok :) gonna read about it Apr 06 15:55:04 well i mean im doing atm Apr 06 15:56:13 all you'll do is open the NSLU2 case, and then armed with a nail clipper, try to remove and/or CRUSH a resistor Apr 06 15:57:36 yeah that what i read Apr 06 16:18:35 BLOODY HELL! Listen up everyone, if your hard-drive has been thrashing a lot with the NSLU2, I have a solution for you! Apr 06 16:18:48 Well, only if you're using Debian Etch. Apr 06 16:19:21 edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add "vm.swappiness = 5" to the end of the file Apr 06 16:19:32 and then execute: sysctl -p Apr 06 16:19:35 that's it! Apr 06 16:19:46 this is awesome, it's not even on the wiki Apr 06 16:30:22 well add it to the wiki :) Apr 06 16:30:25 can be useful hehe Apr 06 16:41:28 how can I tell that my hdd is being thrashing a lot? I just installed Debian last week and have not used it intensively Apr 06 16:57:42 does it make tons of noises Apr 06 16:57:50 ? Apr 06 16:57:57 do you hear your hard disk working very hard? Apr 06 17:07:00 no, I did not notice Apr 06 17:07:29 oh seems it helps indeed a little bit Apr 06 17:07:37 aptitude is working sligthly faster Apr 06 17:07:55 yup, now it's use more of your RAM, rather than hard-disk (swap space) Apr 06 17:08:02 use/using Apr 06 17:29:16 xumm: do you need to restart a service to make this change? Apr 06 17:39:44 no, when you execute sysctl -p, it will refresh the settings with the new swappiness value Apr 06 17:40:07 if you can, go ahead and reboot the slug, just so that you can start fresh Apr 06 19:34:19 has anyone ever managed to get the WD my book world 1TB hdd to work with the nslu2? Apr 06 20:45:08 we had an unslung machine, with website on a memorystick. It stopped working, so we took out the stick, and had to reflash the machine. Now we want to have the machine recognize the memorystick as being unslung, without erasing the data by unslinging. How do we do that? Apr 06 20:49:43 i think you can simply reunsling if you head all your stuff under an extra user Apr 06 20:50:02 will it not erase the data? Apr 06 20:50:07 but make a backup anyway Apr 06 20:50:13 of course Apr 06 20:51:05 did you take a look at nslu2-linux.org ? Apr 06 20:51:14 maybe there is a discription Apr 06 20:51:33 tried to find some there, nothing yet Apr 06 20:52:16 try looking for unslung upgrade Apr 06 20:54:04 ok Apr 06 21:02:10 I think I found the documentation I needed on nslu2-linux.org, thanks. Apr 06 21:29:28 hi ... i have just installed debian using the guide on wiki Apr 06 21:29:36 but when it says me for reboot ... Apr 06 21:29:48 reboot and doesn't boot ok :( Apr 06 21:29:51 what can i do ? Apr 06 22:30:28 Grrrr Apr 06 22:30:46 how can i add a serial ? or something similar for see boot secuence and detect where fails **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 07 02:59:57 2007
