**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 21 02:59:56 2008 Aug 21 15:35:18 hi,is there an alternative to nslu2 which has a torrent client? Aug 21 15:37:53 like your desktop machine? Aug 21 15:43:36 no,a nas device or router Aug 21 15:51:52 your question still doesn't sound vague? Aug 21 15:51:57 :-) Aug 21 15:55:06 alexdagre8: nslu2 is hardware... Aug 21 15:55:27 alexdagre8: All my nslus run torrent applications, the software. ;) Aug 21 15:56:05 but there is some devices listed on the nslu2-liux wiki that you kan have a look at Im guessing Aug 21 15:56:42 depending on price range and how powerfull hardware you want. Aug 21 15:58:11 NSLU2 is out of stock in many shops so I am looking for a device that can download large torrents(mostly linux isos) Aug 21 15:59:12 Ill just mention the fsg-3 dsm-g600, ds-101 that I know of, anything with an optware target Aug 21 16:00:43 not tried any myself, but develompent of the firmwares for them kind of grew out of the nslu project I think. Aug 21 16:02:16 and Im guessing that is a modified truth, but some of the firmwares for the other machines live around the wiki ;) Aug 21 16:02:42 alexdagre8: You could try ebay if you bend that way, there is bound to be 2nd hand slugs there Aug 21 16:02:56 The NSLU2 seems to be the cheapest as the others are over GBP150 Aug 21 16:04:06 ds-107+ is a very nice little box. But it too is pretty pricey. Aug 21 16:05:37 not too sure about the wrt software feeds, but maybe have a look at devices running that too (their wiki) for ideas on hw. Aug 21 16:06:12 openwrt.org I think it was, they have firmware targets too but a bit of different focus some of the times. Aug 21 16:06:54 the nslu2 can run wrt also, but there is a good bit of hw like gateways/routers that run that. Aug 21 16:12:00 it seems that none of the routers run torrent clients reliably Aug 21 16:20:44 alot of stuff with little ram dont run torrent clients too reliably, least that is my impression. Aug 21 16:21:32 my btpd is restarted by a cronjob regurlary, seems it likes to die if I throw too much on it. Aug 21 16:26:01 widrone: on your nslu2? Aug 21 16:27:36 alexdagre8: Yeah, that slug is doing a lot of other stuff too. Not really sure if its the btpd or just generally a torrent eating ram problem. Aug 21 16:29:13 There seems to be a big difference in stability between SlugOS on a 32MB machine vs SlugOS on a 64MB machine, so I think it's related to memory consumption. Aug 21 16:29:37 Er, make that "torrents on SlugOS" -- SlugOS itself is fine with 32MB of RAM. Aug 21 16:31:32 mm, think Ill have to agree on that from my limited usage too. Stability of slugOS is nothing to say about but "its a rock". Aug 21 16:32:36 widrone: you can also try rtorrent and transmission and see if it helps Aug 21 16:34:50 eno: Think I was using it to test out a script I found on the wiki somewhere. For dropping the .torrent file in a share and running it in the background. But Ill surely look into other solutions once I get so far (or fed up with the current) Aug 21 16:36:19 the most recent version of transmission has a ajax based web interface, even novice can use it to upload torrent Aug 21 16:36:29 quite nice Aug 21 16:38:41 Some have managed to run a torrent client (rtorrent) on WL500GP and control it with ntorrent. Aug 21 17:49:01 hi, general kind-of unrelated question ... have a guy here wanting to put a single partition over a terabyte of disk in a nas ( not a slug ) ... we were curious if there would be any problems with doing that since none of us had ever seen a terabyte sized partition ... i remembered the slug and thought it might be reasonable to pose the question here. is this safe to do?? any caveats?? we were thinking that ext3 might have problems managing that much dis Aug 21 17:49:01 k.?? Aug 21 17:50:28 dont think ext3 will have a problem with a fs that size Aug 21 17:50:54 It can run up to 4GB partitions Aug 21 17:51:25 ok, thank you ... i'm seeing that with my google searches now ... Aug 21 17:51:27 keep in mind that big filesystems like to eat up a whole lot of ram if you need to fsck them or do repairs Aug 21 17:51:42 ahh, good to know Aug 21 17:52:34 my 981.1GB ext3 mount is not totaly able to be fscked by my 32MB RAM slug 9/10 times, hehe.. Aug 21 17:52:46 widrone, heheh Aug 21 17:52:56 widrone, thanks!! Aug 21 17:53:53 i know, in know... accident waiting to happen etc. Aug 21 17:55:28 on a related note, I think the max fs size is dependant on blocksize. But then again you dont want to muck about with that I think. Aug 21 22:37:19 anyone home? Aug 21 22:56:45 tspike: Around... Aug 21 22:57:22 Usually just ask it and people chime in when they drop by, can take a couple of timesones now and then thu =P Aug 21 22:59:27 widrone: thanks for responding... having a problem with SSH and have got some help going in #openssh Aug 21 23:00:22 ahmkay, as long as you are not on dropbear and on the proper sshd (openssh) you should be fine then. Aug 21 23:00:51 tspike: Feel free to go again if there seems to anything slugrelated. Aug 21 23:01:06 widrone: appreciate it :) Aug 22 01:38:05 Hi! Aug 22 01:57:48 Hi, anyone here? Aug 22 01:58:02 nope Aug 22 01:58:44 can you help me with a network specific problem? Aug 22 02:02:54 Cayou99: Just ask your question, and be patient. When someone peeks back into this channel, if they can help you perhaps they'll answer your question. Aug 22 02:03:38 Nobody knows if they can help you with your network specific problem until you ask the question! :) Aug 22 02:04:40 Sorry, I just thought the room was empty.. Aug 22 02:05:22 it's empty of people that can answer your question until at least after you ask it Aug 22 02:07:09 Ok, I just installed unslung6.10 without problems until I try to have it access the internet. I can telnet to the slug, ping a website, the address is resolved but no packets come back. The network settings seem ok, but I am not too sure what to do next (sorry, long question) Aug 22 02:09:16 output of ping command (after I ctrl-c to stop it) Aug 22 02:09:27 PING limax.nslu2-linux.org (140.211.169.169): 56 data bytes Aug 22 02:09:27 --- limax.nslu2-linux.org ping statistics --- Aug 22 02:09:27 8 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss Aug 22 02:10:18 double and triple check your default gateway Aug 22 02:10:43 there is nothing in the gateway line, what should I put there? Aug 22 02:10:55 the IP address of your router/firewall, usually Aug 22 02:11:20 any way to easily find this out? (running linux) Aug 22 02:12:32 You should know this information if it's your router/firewall. Aug 22 02:12:32 route -n (not from the slug ofc) Aug 22 02:13:49 widrone : lots of stuff there, what do I look for? Aug 22 02:14:16 again, here is the output (sorry for flooding) Aug 22 02:14:19 Kernel IP routing table Aug 22 02:14:19 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface Aug 22 02:14:19 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Aug 22 02:14:19 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 Aug 22 02:14:19 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Aug 22 02:14:33 192.blah.254 is your default gw Aug 22 02:15:32 YES!!!
