May 30 03:06:46 <soap> new slu2 owner, unslung 6 firmware, atop shows (and my math confirms) 13Mbps sustained transfer rate when rsync ing to my (133mhz clocked) slug from my debian desktop. 
May 30 03:07:18 <soap> Is this unusually slow?  Should I be investigating the quality of my physical network connection?
May 30 03:07:41 <soap> (forgot to mention - I'm on a wired ethernet network.)
May 30 03:07:50 <soap> 100mbit switch.
May 30 03:14:31 <DrJ> Yea, that is about right
May 30 03:14:59 <DrJ> you can speed it up some by removing the underclock resistor
May 30 03:15:16 <DrJ> using firmware like the SlugOS/BE will also speed it up
May 30 03:15:29 <DrJ> and using a flash drive as a swap device will even speed it up a little more
May 30 03:15:29 <soap> really?  samba is only averaging 60% load during the sync.
May 30 03:16:15 <soap> ok - samba CPU useage pegs the CPU when doing lots of small files.
May 30 03:16:44 <DrJ> I highly recommend doing to de-underclock thing
May 30 03:16:47 <soap> (and net throughput drops to sub 1Mb)
May 30 03:16:58 <soap> I have no issues clipping the resistor.
May 30 03:17:08 * DrJ has done it to many of them
May 30 03:17:15 <soap> 13Mbit is slower than I had been hopeful for :(
May 30 03:17:16 <DrJ> Fingernail clippers, I find, works best
May 30 03:17:32 <soap> grab and twist with them vs cutting?
May 30 03:17:45 <DrJ> nah, just grab and pull up
May 30 03:17:50 <DrJ> it comes right off
May 30 03:18:52 <DrJ> you will also get a nice preformance boost if you use another firmware like SlugOS/BE
May 30 03:18:57 <DrJ> instead of unslung
May 30 03:19:30 <soap> Willing to do it if I can break 13Mb/s
May 30 03:19:59 <soap> one thing I didn't see explained well on the wiki was the whole endianess thing.
May 30 03:20:19 <soap> Is there a reason to go BE over LE?  I assume LE because x86 debian is LE?
May 30 03:20:22 <DrJ> eh, that really doesn't matter much
May 30 03:20:35 <DrJ> I use SlugOS/BE
May 30 03:20:38 <DrJ> I use to use unslung also
May 30 03:20:42 <soap> the ARM is equally speedy in either mode?
May 30 03:20:49 <DrJ> I was very pleased at how better things run
May 30 03:20:58 <DrJ> yea, like I said, it really doesn't matter
May 30 03:21:24 <soap> some processors take a hit when in the "other" mode, just curious.
May 30 03:21:40 <DrJ> like I said, I am using SlugOS/BE
May 30 03:21:41 <DrJ> loving it
May 30 05:01:03 <DrJ> hey, can anyone help me with my mysql issue
May 30 05:01:06 <DrJ> I explained it earlier
May 30 05:50:21 <DrJ> anyone?
May 30 08:53:57 <ShadowJK_> turnup's disk...
May 30 08:54:00 <ShadowJK_>  disk [-i] [-s<seconds>] <device>|<uuid> [mount options]
May 30 08:54:04 <ShadowJK_> how do I use uuid? :)
May 30 09:40:24 <Davo_Dinkum> You can't put a hard drive *in* an NSLU2, can you? you have to use USB enclosures.
May 30 09:43:14 <soap> it is smaller than a hard drive
May 30 09:53:17 <Davo_Dinkum> oh
May 30 09:53:22 <Davo_Dinkum> even a 2.5" hdd?
May 30 10:05:11 <ShadowJK_> yes
May 30 10:05:37 <ShadowJK_> well it's maybe slightly bigger than a 2.5" hd
May 30 10:06:20 <ShadowJK_> but a hd will still not fit inside :)
May 30 10:06:27 <Davo_Dinkum> heh ok
May 30 10:06:40 <Davo_Dinkum> is there a similar device that will fit a hd inside?
May 30 10:07:02 <ShadowJK_> kurobox, I guess
May 30 10:31:19 <ShadowJK_> hmm...
May 30 10:31:59 <ShadowJK_> so there's both feeds/slugosbe and feeds/optware/slugosbe on that server
May 30 10:32:02 * ShadowJK_ wonders
May 30 12:10:44 <Davo_Dinkum> does the nslu2 have a 25gb hdd limit?
May 30 12:10:49 <Davo_Dinkum> *250gb
May 30 12:39:56 <DrJ> no
May 30 12:42:04 <Davo_Dinkum> oh
May 30 12:42:19 <Davo_Dinkum> someone said it did
May 30 12:42:30 <Davo_Dinkum> maybe it was a software limit.
May 30 12:46:19 <DrJ> as far as I know, there is no limit
May 30 12:50:58 <docmax> hello
May 30 12:51:09 <docmax> i want to upgrade my kernel to latest version
May 30 12:51:21 <docmax> how can i do this? (debian-nslu2)
May 30 16:43:59 <Nightwolf> hi, i tried to set a static ip on my nslu2 debian some days ago because it sometimes does not get the ip i want for it (router setup) but it did not work (was not able to access the slug any more so i had to edit etc/network/interfaces on another pc over usb)
May 30 16:44:19 <Nightwolf> any idea?
May 30 21:03:38 <soap> Unslung firmware, rsyncing to it from debian I get "rsync: failed to set permissions on "/media/slugP2D1/.config/menus/applications-merged": Permission denied (13)
May 30 21:03:38 <soap> "
May 30 21:03:57 <soap> what do I have to do to get permissions going right?
May 30 21:27:08 <vk0> works for me with "-vur" maybe you have the -p option but the filesystem is non-ext2 in 2 of the locations
May 30 21:30:40 <vk0> actually i use "-vur --delete", and maybe you want sequential backup and not just directory synchronization
May 30 21:41:54 <soap> ext3 both sides, -avz is the command line switches.
May 30 21:45:12 <vk0> i think its because it also sets the same ownership information as on the host machine
May 30 21:45:15 <soap> oh, and mount -t cifs gives me well over twice the throughput as mount -t smbfs
May 30 23:21:14 <soap> 13 Mbps sustained with -t smbfs
May 30 23:21:23 <soap> 31 Mbps sustained with -t cifs
