**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 29 02:59:57 2008 Jan 29 06:15:47 Woooooooooo! Jan 29 06:16:05 My Slugos/LE NSLU2 is running! Jan 29 06:16:17 All I was missing was 3 entries in /etc/modules Jan 29 06:17:09 and all I needed to figure that out was a serial port adaptor. Lucky for me, I found the parts I needed to make a USB-serial adaptor lying around my work Jan 29 06:18:40 man... using apt on a serial port is weird Jan 29 07:22:19 mornin Jan 29 08:52:03 hm Jan 29 08:52:15 The linksys kernel doesn't seem able to deal with harddisks that spin down? :) Jan 29 08:52:49 Atleast it seems I get a bunch of errors everytime seagate freeagent has spun down and nslu2 tries to access it again, and freeagent tells it "please wait" and nslu2 seems to think that's bad Jan 29 08:52:53 :/ Jan 29 13:29:21 mwester, ping Jan 29 14:03:31 anyone here using an fsg3 that knows why fsg3 isn't stopping services on shutdown? Jan 29 14:04:22 I'm thinking on mysql service, for example. Jan 29 14:05:05 If I make a symlink on /etc/rc/K20mysql it never executes Jan 29 15:22:40 erikja: pong Jan 29 15:26:05 mwester, are you still here ? Jan 29 15:26:23 For about 3 minutes, then must run to a meeiting Jan 29 15:26:51 ok, but when you have time, I would be glad if you would have a loook here : http://pastebin.ca/878899 Jan 29 15:27:17 my nas went out of ssh Jan 29 15:27:45 Yes. You can't upgrade ssh whilst using ssh. Jan 29 15:27:54 Can you ssh back into it now? Jan 29 15:28:17 mwester, ok, if I use the start ssh I can Jan 29 15:28:32 els no Jan 29 15:28:34 +e Jan 29 15:28:36 Ah, good. Then it isn't completely broken. Jan 29 15:28:53 mwester, ok, latewr on I have the q abt. mc :-) Jan 29 15:28:59 cu Jan 29 15:29:08 thanks for the reply Jan 29 15:29:11 np Jan 29 15:39:03 mwester, now this ... http://pastebin.ca/878955 Jan 29 15:57:32 Hiya, anybody having Gentoo on his Slug? Jan 29 15:58:43 I know at least one person in here who was (not me) Jan 29 15:59:44 Well, perhaps this question is more known. Compiling stuff on the slug is bothersome, so i was wondering if i can't compile the packages on my laptop (not running Gentoo) and just get them ready for the Slug to install them. Jan 29 16:00:08 Or that i let the slug use my laptop as compiling buddy Jan 29 16:02:12 Cross Compiling/ distcc ? Jan 29 16:02:16 I think thats how he did it Jan 29 16:03:08 Well, i'm looking into the cross-compiling guide of Gentoo atm, but the thing is, i'm using glibc, and not uclibc. Gonna look up distcc. Jan 29 16:03:42 joshin, if your about, one for you ;) Jan 29 16:03:50 distcc looks nice ^^ Jan 29 16:04:28 iarwain1: Works fine. Jan 29 16:04:40 joshin: What does, distcc? Jan 29 16:04:51 Yes. I build natively on my NSLU Jan 29 16:05:16 Well, i'ma looking into it now, but it seems my Slug is hanging on emerging dhcpcd :'( Jan 29 16:37:17 hrm Jan 29 16:37:18 hey Jan 29 16:37:31 i flashed to unslung Jan 29 16:37:47 it went ok, rebooted Jan 29 16:37:53 and now i cant connect to my unit Jan 29 16:38:07 any help please ? Jan 29 16:38:58 i dont get pings back from 192.168.1.77 Jan 29 16:40:23 was IP set statically? Jan 29 16:40:41 before? Jan 29 16:40:44 ya Jan 29 16:40:45 i dont know Jan 29 16:40:53 i havent used it for overa year Jan 29 16:40:59 ^o) Jan 29 16:41:04 Do you have a DHCP server? Jan 29 16:41:14 and now justplugged it in, and firmware upgraded it.. Jan 29 16:41:15 Can you check it to see if its given it an IP Jan 29 16:41:29 shouldnt the settings be overwritten ? Jan 29 16:42:27 The various firmwares try their best to *preserve* the settings! Jan 29 16:42:40 oh. darnit. Jan 29 16:42:44 I think if it was on the default IP, and statically set, it should stil be there Jan 29 16:42:49 it probably hada static ip then Jan 29 16:42:55 how can i reset everything? Jan 29 16:52:07 g'mornin Jan 29 16:52:36 So, Reedy_Boy: you remember my boot problem from yesterday? I just needed to add the ethernet drivers to my /etc/modules Jan 29 16:52:38 haha Jan 29 16:52:44 :) Jan 29 16:52:47 typical! Jan 29 16:53:00 Good thing I put that USB-serial module together Jan 29 16:54:55 So then I went to do the apex RAM expansion Jan 29 16:54:57 faugh Jan 29 16:55:04 now I can't boot anymore. Jan 29 16:55:27 even after I changed the startup line back, it still won't boot Jan 29 16:56:21 so I'm going to build a new kernel image with the new kernel, and hopefully, that'll get me going! Jan 29 16:56:35 I'm going to try 2.6.23-1 on it Jan 29 17:03:18 ido-: flash the stock linksys firmware, boot it up (with no disks), and once it's up and running, just hold the reset button in for 30 seconds or so -- that should cause the Linksys firmware to reset all configuration items to factory default. Then flash Unslung, and continue. Jan 29 17:16:35 back Jan 29 17:39:32 Anyone here know what to put in a debian ixp4xx ramdisk? Jan 29 17:44:42 mwester, http://pastebin.ca/878955 :-) Jan 29 17:47:11 erikja: are you using a ds101 ? Jan 29 17:47:53 or some variant ? Jan 29 17:48:56 eno, yes I have Jan 29 17:49:03 ds101j Jan 29 17:49:30 your /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 does not seem to match the one of ds101 toolchain Jan 29 17:49:46 eno, how can I fix that ? Jan 29 17:49:59 your best bet would be to use optware in a chroot environment Jan 29 17:50:26 oh I'm not knowing how to? Jan 29 17:51:31 can you explain for me how to ? Jan 29 18:00:48 hmm Jan 29 18:01:11 when using unslung firmware, should i see a penguin at on top left corner ? Jan 29 18:01:23 eno, have you left ? Jan 29 18:02:12 erikja: i'm just busy with other things Jan 29 18:02:36 you can start searching "optware ipkg" on forum.qnap.com Jan 29 18:02:54 eno, sorry for disturbing you Jan 29 18:03:15 their ts109 or ts209 has the same problem, and they use optware in chroot Jan 29 18:05:38 eno, will be happy to talk to you about it when you have time. Jan 29 18:09:25 hrm. Jan 29 18:09:29 how do i format mynslu ? Jan 29 18:09:53 i mean, shoudld it be done via gui ? Jan 29 18:11:04 oh,found it Jan 29 18:12:56 should i put my root on a usb stick Jan 29 18:13:03 just in case i want to replace hdd's ? Jan 29 18:54:15 woo hoo have finally got my first nslu2 :) Jan 29 18:54:22 cool Jan 29 18:54:27 i just setup mine Jan 29 18:55:52 what did you do with it? Initially i want mine to be able to run itunes server, web server and print sharer. Im a bit worried that the hard drive i want to use is ntfs formatted though. Jan 29 18:56:45 unslung it Jan 29 18:57:03 i'm not sure if its the best firmware for what you want though Jan 29 18:57:12 but i'manewbie with the slug too Jan 29 18:57:22 yea thats why i came on here. im not sure about it so want to do it right from the start. Jan 29 18:58:03 hrm Jan 29 18:58:13 after formatting a 500g drive i gotonly 450 ? Jan 29 18:58:23 thats normal Jan 29 18:58:50 50 less ? Jan 29 18:58:58 yes i think so. Jan 29 18:59:18 youd probably be better asking in #hardware or googling but i think ive seen numerous cases of that before. Jan 29 18:59:24 should be 465 Jan 29 19:00:04 oh, its458 Jan 29 19:00:08 oh well Jan 29 19:00:26 where do ichange country codepages? Jan 29 19:00:41 no idea Jan 29 19:07:29 anyone here any opinions on what firmware i should run? Jan 29 19:13:43 erikja: http://www.synology.com/enu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2071 Jan 29 19:17:49 eno, I will study that url, thanks a lot Jan 29 19:18:42 eno, I have bootstrapped the ds101j some weeks ago. Jan 29 19:22:23 eno, and with ok result. mwester was with at the moment I did it :-) Jan 29 19:22:49 hey guys, can someone test my ftp server? ftp://62.31.17.199/ Jan 29 19:29:37 daveyboy_, working Jan 29 19:32:02 humm ok. wonder why i cant access from work. prob gay netwiorking settings at work :@ Jan 29 19:32:11 what dir listings u got?

Jan 29 19:38:27 2 secs got to identify Jan 29 19:38:52 The FTPd is running. The problem is with the users, IMO Jan 29 19:39:39 yea i using vsftpd and its bit flakey. it doesnt appear to be getting password for my users from anywrer Jan 29 19:41:11 daveyboy_, proftpd maybe a good way to go Jan 29 19:43:52 what speed should i expectfrom the slug Jan 29 19:44:00 i'm currently getting 3mb/s Jan 29 19:44:05 hrm 3.5mb/s Jan 29 19:44:15 but that seems rather slow. Jan 29 19:45:56 should i leave my hard drive with ntfs formatting or change it? Jan 29 19:46:04 i'd change it Jan 29 20:02:37 does debian support ntfs decently (read/write) Jan 29 20:02:41 how do i change locale ? Jan 29 20:03:05 dpkg-reconfigure locales Jan 29 20:03:11 hrm. Jan 29 20:03:39 hrm.i'm using linux on an embedded device.. Jan 29 20:03:58 slo anyone know of smb backup prog for slug. heard of one called smbmount (wanna systematically backup pcitures of pc) Jan 29 20:04:06 oh.br Jan 29 20:04:25 imeant to say unsliung Jan 29 20:04:34 unslung Jan 29 20:05:33 ido-, what do you want to know? Jan 29 20:08:58 how do change locale Jan 29 20:09:05 so ican see filenames not inenglish Jan 29 20:10:27 ido-, I just told you Jan 29 20:10:45 dpkg-reconfigure locales Jan 29 20:10:46 i dont have dpkg though.. Jan 29 20:10:58 What firmware are you using? Jan 29 20:11:00 i'm using unslung firmware Jan 29 20:11:07 Ohhh. Don't know about that. Jan 29 20:11:46 i think i need localedef Jan 29 20:11:53 is thatright? Jan 29 20:12:01 ido, i am relatively new to nslu2 as well, and ran unslung for bit, but switching was bets thing i ever did. so much more stability and options. recomend debian, but depends what u se slug for Jan 29 20:12:39 i'll use it mostly for just sharing Jan 29 20:13:19 yea me to, and torrent d/l.... much better than unslung... unslung has some inherent flaws, like screwing up smb shares (ie music ~1) Jan 29 20:14:26 caused me no end of headaches. now i got my slug set up with debain its been running like a charm for 2 days now... numerious retsarts.. suaually unslung would have at least screwed up my shares once or twise by now Jan 29 20:15:00 is it possible to access the nslu2 remotely via the internet when the slug is connected to a router? Jan 29 20:15:01 howhard isit to change after everything is alreadyinstalled? Jan 29 20:16:41 yes it is wally. im setting up same thing here Jan 29 20:16:46 wally4793, yes. Just configure port-forwarding on your router to point to your NSLU2 Jan 29 20:16:56 when u say access, what access do u require, ftp or ssh or http? Jan 29 20:18:41 acces the shares... from windows? Jan 29 20:19:10 i might move to debian. Jan 29 20:19:17 why debian ? why not something else ? Jan 29 20:20:38 thats the choice to make Jan 29 20:22:38 are you using any type of backup program ? Jan 29 20:23:29 what do u mean? Jan 29 20:24:21 rsnapshot ? Jan 29 20:25:06 and also what speeds do you get when copying files over the networking to the slug ? Jan 29 20:26:35 I'm using SlugOSBE ido-, its pretty fast Jan 29 20:26:37 well its samba 3.0 i believe, and unslung uses older version (corect me if im wrong anyone)...but still, its samba. i not tested actual file times, but i would say that i have noticed a diff in load up times of large movies from my chipped xbox Jan 29 20:27:08 daveyboy_, i get 4MB/s write speed to my debian nslu2 Jan 29 20:27:12 I noticed a huge increase in transfer speed when I switched from unslung to slugos Jan 29 20:27:29 there u go. theres an answer for u Jan 29 20:27:53 unslung is on a version 2 samba unless you specifically update it Jan 29 20:28:00 yea unslung was SLOW.... as reedy can tell u, the slug nearly went out the window when i ran unslung ;) Jan 29 20:28:24 i'm getting 2.5-3.5mb/s with unslung Jan 29 20:28:52 its got samba 3.0 though Jan 29 20:28:54 share issues yet Jan 29 20:28:58 ido- Jan 29 20:29:01 ? Jan 29 20:29:03 I just tested mine Jan 29 20:29:10 4.9MB/s Jan 29 20:29:13 are we talking about wired speeds? Jan 29 20:29:36 reedy, u got ftp server on ure box btw? Jan 29 20:29:41 nah, not currently Jan 29 20:29:46 tried installing proftp and get package error Jan 29 20:29:52 took me exactly 10 seconds to transfer 49MB file Jan 29 20:30:08 nice. Jan 29 20:30:17 yeah wired speeds. Jan 29 20:30:33 SlugOSBE/266 Jan 29 20:30:34 think ill test mine :-) Jan 29 20:30:53 hrm. i need to check my slugs speed ! Jan 29 20:31:12 wont de-underclocking it make it heat up ? Jan 29 20:31:28 or wsa that a myth (for the slug that is) Jan 29 20:31:28 whe did u get slug? Jan 29 20:31:58 ido-, the heat difference is only a few C Jan 29 20:32:02 very minor Jan 29 20:32:05 damnit with sony vaio keyboards. my spacebar sucks Jan 29 20:32:17 Only ever caused problems who lived in hot places all the time.. Jan 29 20:32:29 ido-, I've had mine running at 266 for almost 2 years Jan 29 20:32:38 mines 2+ Jan 29 20:32:40 no problem Jan 29 20:32:43 isnt only old slugs underclocked. got mine for xmass so presumably will already be running at 266 from what i heard Jan 29 20:32:47 in the summer its in a room temp of 85+ F Jan 29 20:33:11 cat /pro/cpuinfo Jan 29 20:33:14 stick fan on it. you will be fine ;) Jan 29 20:33:15 cat /proc/cpuinfo Jan 29 20:33:17 whats it say? Jan 29 20:33:24 doesn't need a fan :) Jan 29 20:33:28 but if you are worried Jan 29 20:33:30 wont hurt Jan 29 20:33:31 whats command so see what speed your running at? Jan 29 20:33:37 cat /proc/cpuinfo Jan 29 20:33:41 Reedy_Boy just said Jan 29 20:33:53 hrm. i need to open up my slug for that. Jan 29 20:33:56 unf. Jan 29 20:33:57 yeah Jan 29 20:34:01 its very simple though Jan 29 20:34:01 sorry wasnt looking Jan 29 20:34:05 remove/break a resistor Jan 29 20:34:12 yeah but i'm too lazy for thtat. Jan 29 20:34:21 Well, dont complain then :P Jan 29 20:34:29 will just check. doesnt have to be run as root does it. (copying all my files to diff harddrive..... fair few gb transfer there) Jan 29 20:34:34 i have a wrt router modded with an mmc card ;) Jan 29 20:34:36 oh ido-, doing it will greaty improve the preformance Jan 29 20:34:37 SLUG:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo Jan 29 20:34:37 Processor : XScale-IXP42x Family rev 1 (v5l) Jan 29 20:34:37 BogoMIPS : 266.24 Jan 29 20:34:45 daveyboy_, shouldnt no Jan 29 20:34:49 should get soemthing like that Jan 29 20:35:35 266 Jan 29 20:35:41 :) Jan 29 20:36:00 thats what i thought it would be. all new ones are not restricted. Jan 29 20:36:40 someone said his write speed was increased by 10% on a 266mhz slug Jan 29 20:36:50 maybe thats why you get 4.9mb/s Jan 29 20:37:00 Reedy_Boy: are you using unslung ? Jan 29 20:37:18 Unslung on my "test" unit Jan 29 20:37:22 and debian on my now working server Jan 29 20:37:31 Note samba is slower than NFS and other stuff Jan 29 20:37:44 how do i change locale ? Jan 29 20:37:55 (so i can see filenames in other languages) Jan 29 20:38:17 web interface maybe? Jan 29 20:39:25 thought nts was slow for pc - slug access (extra info transmitted) Jan 29 20:39:33 NFS Jan 29 20:39:39 its fine with linux Jan 29 20:39:46 vista's client is pants it seems Jan 29 20:39:50 Reedy_Boy: web interface changes sambas codepage Jan 29 20:39:59 i want to change linux's locale Jan 29 20:40:03 yea sorry, typo Jan 29 20:40:18 hows upnp (my xbox supports that, wondering about that over smb) Jan 29 20:40:30 daveyboy_, listening to it now ;) Jan 29 20:40:34 ido-, you may not be able to on unslung... Jan 29 20:40:58 hrm. damnit Jan 29 20:41:09 http://www.linux.com/feature/53781 Jan 29 20:41:11 worth testing upnp for files you recon? Jan 29 20:41:17 changing from slug to another firmware, do i have to format the drive ? Jan 29 20:41:32 i can transfer 179mb in 35 seconds... about 5.4mb/s with samba 2.. Jan 29 20:41:53 daveyboy_, could do Jan 29 20:42:16 ps - lists threads Jan 29 20:42:21 SoundBridge> ps Jan 29 20:42:21 ps: command not found Jan 29 20:42:21 :? Jan 29 20:42:22 :/ Jan 29 20:42:53 guys rsync available for windows? need decent backup tool for backing up files over smb from pc to slug systematically? (can run on slug preferably) Jan 29 20:43:09 would be avaliable from cygwin Jan 29 20:45:36 col Jan 29 20:45:39 i just opened my slug Jan 29 20:45:53 daveyboy_: google rsnapshot Jan 29 20:45:59 i'vejusted installed it Jan 29 20:46:06 gonna try it Jan 29 20:46:11 k Jan 29 20:46:20 tell me howyou do Jan 29 20:46:47 cool... i get a worse read speed than write speed :/ Jan 29 20:47:26 will do. network is slow as mo fo though... copying 100 gig and d/l torrents... ouch Jan 29 20:48:15 once i have installed samba 3 from ipkg does it require any setting up or will it automatically take over the transfers on the slug? Jan 29 20:48:46 wally4793, on unslung there is quite a bit of faffing/configuration Jan 29 20:49:16 really? probably not worth it as im getting decent read/write speeds anyhow 5mb/sec ish Jan 29 20:49:30 thats pretty good going Jan 29 20:49:56 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/Performance Jan 29 20:50:19 its as fast as my ethernet to ethernet from pc to laptop so im happy with that Jan 29 20:50:29 heh Jan 29 20:51:21 i take it the speeds we are talking about are from a pc to the slug with a ethernet cable, transferring to a network share? Jan 29 20:51:33 ya Jan 29 20:51:39 fuckin cool, the led nowblinks like crazy Jan 29 20:51:45 lmfao Jan 29 20:52:19 waiting for it to boot Jan 29 20:53:03 reed, u got beep mod enabled yet for debian? Jan 29 20:53:13 feature thats missing from standard install Jan 29 20:54:12 beep mod..? no Jan 29 20:54:15 why would i need it? Jan 29 20:54:16 lol Jan 29 20:56:04 well incase u ever restart ;) Jan 29 20:56:18 hrm. shit Jan 29 20:56:20 i just turn round and look at the lightds ;) Jan 29 20:56:24 leds seem to blink Jan 29 20:56:26 but i cant connect Jan 29 20:57:22 hard drive led is lit Jan 29 20:57:38 and the busy led isblinking non-stop Jan 29 20:57:43 no ping replies. Jan 29 20:57:50 right after booting.. Jan 29 20:57:55 is this normal Jan 29 21:00:43 hrm. Jan 29 21:00:46 no its back online Jan 29 21:00:55 is the slug fscking or something on bootup ? Jan 29 21:01:05 Okay, i tried setting up distcc, but it's not going all too well because i don't have the same gcc etc versions :'( Jan 29 21:01:05 cus it takes a while on a 500gb drive !! Jan 29 21:01:18 Any other way to speed up compiles on the Slug? Jan 29 21:01:28 iarwain1, full cross compiling Jan 29 21:01:30 BogoMIPS : 263.78 Jan 29 21:01:34 it should only fsck if it needs it Jan 29 21:01:38 Reedy_Boy: Got a link? Jan 29 21:01:49 there isnt really a specific link Jan 29 21:02:24 www.google.com :) Jan 29 21:02:27 yeah Jan 29 21:02:29 what OS and such? Jan 29 21:02:34 and what are yuo actually trying to do Jan 29 21:02:59 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml Jan 29 21:03:19 Well, i have an Archlinux laptop, and a Gentoo Slug. Thing is, compiling on the slug takes literally ages Jan 29 21:03:31 I just want to be able to speed things up a bit Jan 29 21:03:39 (+ learn some stuff) Jan 29 21:03:43 you should be able to install an older version.. Jan 29 21:03:48 can anyone do a: hdparm -tT /dev/sda Jan 29 21:04:01 Reedy_Boy: an older version? Jan 29 21:04:23 meaning a precompiled one? Jan 29 21:05:13 no, an older version of gcc Jan 29 21:06:09 Well, the client is using a newer version then the server, and i think there are more version not correct. Btw, is the link any good? Jan 29 21:06:36 I dont know, ive not touched gentoo Jan 29 21:07:07 Neither do i, till this day ^^ Jan 29 21:07:13 I'll figure it out though :) Jan 29 21:07:36 Why try something hard if you havent done anything like it before? Jan 29 21:08:05 Reedy_Boy: Well, to learn actually Jan 29 21:19:33 damnit Jan 29 21:19:45 the slug overwrites smb.conf each restart Jan 29 21:27:29 smb.conf is just a link to file Jan 29 21:27:31 think its stored in opt/ Jan 29 21:29:08 daveyboy_, im gonna try running a couple of torrents overnight Jan 29 21:29:41 i have, worked fine. need to edit my rc file cos it didnt move when completed but it worked fine non the less. Jan 29 21:29:46 heh Jan 29 21:30:00 if you close rtorrent, does it resume torrents automatically later? Jan 29 21:30:06 want eitehr to move files, or to give status in filename.... Jan 29 21:30:14 Saving torrent state and resume data between sessions ΒΆ Jan 29 21:30:20 yep think so Jan 29 21:30:27 i didnt specify session dir, used defualt Jan 29 21:30:28 just googled it ;) Jan 29 21:30:35 let me check Jan 29 21:32:23 u played with ntorrent much? Jan 29 21:32:27 nope Jan 29 21:32:29 have to sort some scheduling aswell :/ Jan 29 21:32:52 yea thats what i after BIG time. stop bandwith usage during day. thats one of main reasons for my slug Jan 29 21:33:01 nightime d/l :D Jan 29 21:33:47 yeah Jan 29 21:33:54 save eating my "peak time bandwith" Jan 29 21:34:56 plus i get best rates during night as well Jan 29 21:37:07 auto detect works Jan 29 21:37:22 of files in watched dir? Jan 29 21:37:35 ya Jan 29 21:37:44 i got that working. my torrents didnt resume automaticaly, but i added them via ntorrent Jan 29 21:37:54 i never could be bothred to set that in azureus Jan 29 21:38:03 mine are downloading Jan 29 21:38:23 although just added again via ntorrent and its hashing file its 80% d/l will see if it carrys on. finges crossed Jan 29 21:39:01 mines auto-rehashing Jan 29 21:41:20 hm Jan 29 21:41:27 ntorrent doesnt seem to want to work via screen.. Jan 29 21:43:12 huh? u running rtorrent via screen and cant connect via ntorrent (no probs here Jan 29 21:43:23 ntorrent wont connect at all Jan 29 21:43:26 was ok 5 mins ago Jan 29 21:43:27 errm Jan 29 21:43:39 web server is down Jan 29 21:43:39 lol Jan 29 21:44:00 thats better! Jan 29 21:44:18 :) Jan 29 21:45:02 any idea how you tell rtorrent no no bandwith during schedule Jan 29 21:45:04 as 0 is unlimited Jan 29 21:45:22 nope. need to have a look. anyway the DnB is calling....night on tiles Jan 29 21:45:28 man ftw Jan 29 21:45:38 no man Jan 29 21:45:38 speak laters, and ill have a look at .rc and see what i can find Jan 29 21:45:38 lol Jan 29 22:04:33 eno, do you know how to prevent downloads during certain times using rtorrent? Jan 29 22:04:36 i cant seem to find it Jan 29 22:06:29 Is there a way to see what kind of ARM device the Slug is? Jan 29 22:08:23 what do you mean iarwain1? Jan 29 22:08:29 Big Endian/Little Endian? Or the CPU? Jan 29 22:09:04 Well, i'm looking for a way to emulate the NSLU on my laptop, and came across this thread http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4032 Jan 29 22:09:22 It mentioned multiple versions of ARM and that confused me. Jan 29 22:10:30 Reedy_Boy: in ncurses interface, i just ctrl-d to stop the torrent Jan 29 22:10:44 i don't know a better way Jan 29 22:10:46 its just i want it to do it automatically.. if possible Jan 29 22:10:50 hmm ok thanks Jan 29 22:11:25 with the xmlrpc interface, it must be possible to automate this Jan 29 22:13:00 yeah, i cant believe there is no way at all Jan 29 22:13:17 im suprised there isnt like a text line for the config file Jan 29 22:13:40 schedule = overnight,24:00:00,07:00:00,download_rate=0uploadrate=0 Jan 29 22:13:44 That wont be right will it? Jan 29 22:13:46 would need to be Jan 29 22:13:49 schedule = overnight,24:00:00,07:00:00,download_rate=0 Jan 29 22:13:52 schedule = overnight,24:00:00,07:00:00,uploadrate=0 Jan 29 22:13:54 i suspect? Jan 29 22:14:32 *_rate=0 means unlimited Jan 29 22:14:40 yeah Jan 29 22:14:43 thats when i want it running Jan 29 22:15:00 and that uploads wrong Jan 29 22:15:01 lmao Jan 29 22:15:13 Is there a way to reload the config without restarting ntorrent? Jan 29 22:16:16 not a power user of rtorrent myself, i dunno Jan 29 22:16:50 i'll try #rtorrent Jan 29 22:17:07 rtorrent starts as a client only program, so i can understand it probably does not support 'kill -HUP' yet Jan 29 22:20:12 iarwain1, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores Jan 29 22:20:24 Reedy_Boy: cheers :) Jan 29 22:20:29 Its XScale/ARMv5TE Jan 29 22:22:49 where does unslung store its settings ? Jan 29 22:22:54 share settings for example Jan 29 22:23:15 some smb.conf ? Jan 29 22:23:26 but it gets erased each reboot Jan 29 22:23:31 i mean, reverts to something Jan 29 22:24:26 http://www.at-home.tv/nhj07/clients/elave/index2.html Jan 29 22:24:30 the unslung one is designed to be done via the website.. Jan 29 22:24:54 yeah, but where does it store its settings then ? Jan 29 22:25:04 i want to change a few things manually Jan 29 22:25:07 ido-: /share/hdd/conf/ Jan 29 22:25:38 oh. Jan 29 22:25:44 thanks. Jan 29 22:26:47 hrm. no share settings there though Jan 29 22:27:10 oh. it makes them from share.info Jan 29 22:27:46 how do i make a hidden share ? Jan 29 22:27:52 $ Jan 29 22:28:07 in windows /pcname/share$ Jan 29 22:28:13 would be "gidden" Jan 29 22:28:19 hidden Jan 29 22:28:22 right.. Jan 29 23:33:29 does the slug auto spindown disks automatically ? Jan 29 23:33:47 depends which OS you have on it Jan 29 23:33:53 unslung Jan 29 23:33:56 and whether that OS is configured to spin disks down Jan 29 23:34:00 And also, what the drive is Jan 29 23:34:02 I don't know unslung Jan 29 23:34:06 My MyBook spins itself down :) Jan 29 23:34:23 what does ? Jan 29 23:34:47 i might change firmware :< Jan 29 23:35:20 My Western Digital MyBook Essential Jan 29 23:35:42 i asked ani Jan 29 23:35:51 i dont have a mybook :< Jan 29 23:39:44 In general, unslung is poorly-behaved with spin-down. The OS was not designed to handle it, nor are the overwhelming majority of the USB/IDE chips that are in the USB-attached disks. Jan 29 23:42:32 brr. too bad. Jan 29 23:42:44 how bad is it to keep the disk spinning 24/7 ? Jan 29 23:43:05 health-wise and power consumption-wise Jan 29 23:43:22 Power consumption - more power used Jan 29 23:43:31 yeah, but howmuch more ? Jan 29 23:43:38 dont know figures Jan 29 23:43:39 errm Jan 29 23:43:43 health wise, i suppose, it will cause bearings/things to wear out quicker Jan 29 23:43:43 Generally it's better for it to keep running 24x7, and the power consumption is negligable for most non-battery applications. Jan 29 23:45:12 The bearings are designed to spin 100% of the time; the load/unload of the heads and spin-up/spin-down are the primary issues in lifetime of the drive. Just check the specs of a typical desktop disk, you'll see that the powerup/down cylces are limited. Jan 29 23:45:44 Notebook (2.5") drives are designed to spinup and spindown a lot, but even they have a limited lifetime in that regard. Jan 29 23:46:00 http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/storage/hddpower.html Jan 29 23:46:04 * mwester *strongly* favors running disks 24x7 and using proper enclosures to manage heat and noise. Jan 29 23:46:29 seems my Hitachi Deskstar 7K500 is one of the power hungry drives Jan 29 23:48:34 hrm Jan 29 23:49:52 Deskstar --- aka "Deathstar" because of their habit of overheating ;) Jan 29 23:50:34 lol Jan 29 23:50:41 Mine have been fine - had a couple ~ 3 years Jan 29 23:50:45 i had a few of those Jan 29 23:50:52 i think one died Jan 29 23:50:55 now on a nice 5 year warranty seagate for my desktop :) Jan 29 23:52:07 oh well. Jan 29 23:52:32 its ~11w for the hd + 9w for slug Jan 29 23:52:41 The MyBooks are nice and quite.. and seem to be rather col Jan 29 23:52:42 +14w for router Jan 29 23:52:58 well. not that bad Jan 29 23:53:14 yeah - my nslu2 and drive are replacing my 2.8ghz celeron server 2003 box Jan 29 23:53:38 The interesting thing is that the extra power for the hd is mainly a performance factor. And you don't need it on the slug, because it's so limited by the USB and enet anyway. A low-cost (if such can be found) laptop drive is more than adequate, and saves much power. Jan 29 23:54:04 It just depends if you want a large capacity drive.. Jan 29 23:54:19 thats just around $3 amonth Jan 29 23:54:30 over here.. Jan 29 23:54:33 My basement slugs run with the big drives, where the noise is immaterial and it's cooler. The slugs up here run with laptop drives. Jan 29 23:55:11 laptop drives arent cheap. Jan 29 23:55:27 i wish ssds were large and cheaperer Jan 29 23:55:31 and larger capacities aint that easy Jan 29 23:55:35 20 Gbyte ones that have been pulled from laptops being upgraded are *really* cheap ;) Jan 29 23:55:40 heh Jan 29 23:55:46 But they'll still die like flash memory Jan 29 23:56:27 Oddly enough, I haven't had a single flash device die on me yet, and only one slug drive died (full-size 40GB maxtor). Jan 29 23:56:42 I have quite a collection of disk drives at this time... Jan 29 23:57:10 Yeah.. I've lost more memory sticks through physical damage Jan 29 23:57:24 ie being bent about and usb caps becoming loose Jan 29 23:57:24 But I did clean up last fall, I threw out all drives smaller than 20 GB, except for one 12GB drive. Jan 30 00:00:59 how do you organize your shares ? Jan 30 00:01:10 or do you have only 1 share Jan 30 00:07:49 is there a monitoring tool to see read/write bytes per sec on the disk ? Jan 30 00:07:57 like top or something Jan 30 00:52:07 ido-, hdparm Jan 30 01:29:29 i meant realtime Jan 30 01:29:36 to monitor **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jan 30 02:59:56 2008
