**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 22 02:59:57 2008 Sep 22 12:40:19 Anyone around? Sep 22 12:50:15 here Sep 22 13:08:18 Would it be possible to bump the version of gzip that's in optware? Sep 22 13:08:32 1.3.9 is on gnu.org, but 1.2.4a is in optware. Sep 22 13:45:30 Nitehawk: i wonder who has control over that... Sep 22 14:48:01 hey, smbd goes up to like 50% CPU usage when streaming DVDR, it's pretty slow when uploading stuff too Sep 22 14:48:13 is there anything I can do to increase performance? Sep 22 14:48:57 root filesystem is using ext3, the filesystem which contains the media is reiserfs Sep 22 14:49:35 os is debian Sep 22 14:50:25 de-underclocked? Sep 22 15:31:43 where is the configuration file for smb? Sep 22 15:32:10 /etc/smb.conf on debian Sep 22 15:32:23 for unslung, that is Sep 22 15:36:39 I'm a bit confused...I don't have samba installed for unslung, so whre did /usr/sbin/smbd come from? Sep 22 15:36:57 Linksys Sep 22 15:37:00 ah... Sep 22 16:06:33 Reedy: i was thinking more along the ways of filesystem tuning or memory saving features or something like that Sep 22 16:06:49 well, removing the underclocking would probably help too :P Sep 22 16:06:53 yeah Sep 22 16:06:57 its a nice easy one Sep 22 16:07:02 cat /proc/cpuinfo Sep 22 16:07:08 sec Sep 22 16:07:35 BogoMIPS : 266.24 Sep 22 16:07:50 thats de-underclocked then Sep 22 16:08:06 oh? nice then Sep 22 16:08:44 so the really big problem is RAM then :P Sep 22 16:08:53 if it was ~ 133, that would be underclocked Sep 22 16:08:55 it constantly runs out when transferring files Sep 22 16:08:57 ah Sep 22 16:17:36 i should probably read up on reiserfs tuning and if samba has any memory saving options :q Sep 22 16:18:07 * Reedy refrains from making wife killing jokes Sep 22 16:18:15 lawl Sep 22 16:18:22 and as an aside, im sure there were problems with reiser fs on debian arm Sep 22 16:18:32 XFS had problems at least Sep 22 16:18:34 i noticed :p Sep 22 16:18:45 no real probs with rfs afaik Sep 22 16:19:07 other than that it has little future Sep 22 16:19:26 well i'm not really gonna run ZFS :P and XFS failed me Sep 22 16:19:30 and i simply don't trust ext3 Sep 22 16:19:44 or more like, ZFS isn't going to run Sep 22 16:19:47 You trust reiserfs, but not ext3?????? Sep 22 16:20:05 when it comes to reliability, yes Sep 22 16:20:12 Well, good luck then! Sep 22 16:20:17 i've never had a reiser filesystem crash on me like ext3 has :P Sep 22 16:21:16 so it has yet to regain my trust, which... ain't gonna happen cause there are way better filesystems Sep 22 16:21:28 just too bad XFS fails on ARM :( Sep 22 16:21:34 in-memory data corruption is bad Sep 22 16:22:27 also, i'd have to wait a week for ext3 to generate a filesystem on a 900GB partition :p Sep 22 16:24:49 so it's a matter of preference, so don't hate me for it :P Sep 22 16:25:32 also, lots of sites recommended reiserfs (as well as ext3) for the slug, so Sep 22 16:25:57 (okay, lots... a few sites which happened to have recommendations) Sep 22 16:26:30 ooh, xfs, yeah Sep 22 16:26:34 still reiser has problems Sep 22 16:26:44 probably has Sep 22 16:26:45 and that was a flash of lightening... Sep 22 16:27:00 :q Sep 22 16:40:43 * chrisb has had serious problems with reiserfs Sep 22 16:43:17 reiserfs failed for me in exactly the situations where it should have had superior performance Sep 22 16:44:35 :q Sep 22 16:44:56 the performance of most filesystems sucks, i don't expect reiserfs to be any better in that case Sep 22 16:45:27 when i reinstall ext2 or ext3 on the same media where reiserfs had failed irreparably, the media was OK Sep 22 16:45:39 s/reinstall/reinstalled/ Sep 22 16:46:35 Frigolit: i mean basically, reiserfsck can't repair routine problems with reiserfs Sep 22 16:46:41 well, maybe reiserfs doesn't perform well on low memory systems Sep 22 16:46:49 heh Sep 22 16:47:04 in that case it's a big problem Sep 22 16:47:54 the biggest problem is that i can't go over like 2.5MB/s upload to the NAS :P Sep 22 16:47:57 Frigolit: don't get me wrong, i'm glad to hear it works for you Sep 22 16:48:02 cause it constantly swaps Sep 22 16:48:33 chrisb: no i understand, however i dunno if it really works well on a low-memory system Sep 22 16:48:47 actually, the root fs is ext3, i'm gonna trying uploading stuff to that to compare Sep 22 16:48:52 for comparison* Sep 22 16:52:44 reiserfs is about 0.2MB/s slower, that's abut it Sep 22 16:52:49 about* Sep 22 16:53:01 3.4MB/s to ext3, 3.2MB/s to reiserfs Sep 22 16:59:22 [C/win 14 Sep 22 20:49:49 hey guys, anyone running upnp on debian? Sep 22 20:54:36 or any upnp server on any other platform? Sep 22 21:08:10 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/NativeNSLU2Toolchain Sep 22 21:08:25 the download links there for the toolchain don't seem to be working Sep 22 21:16:20 DogBoy: why not just use "ipkg install optware-devel" as suggested on that wiki page Sep 22 21:17:17 eno, I guess because it's confusing to say the least Sep 22 21:18:23 and which webpage do you refer to eno Sep 22 21:19:40 at the top of NativeNSLU2Toolchain, it is recommended to see NativelyCompileUnslungPackages page instead Sep 22 21:20:06 since nslu2-linux team is not responsible for this toolchain Sep 22 21:22:19 guys, bit new to this all this... would i need i386 bin for slug? Sep 22 21:23:06 thanks eno Sep 22 21:23:29 Daveyboy_: if you're using unslung, get a native toolchain by "ipkg install optware-devel" Sep 22 21:23:39 no i386 binary involved Sep 22 21:24:31 nope debian Sep 22 21:24:59 and apt-get aint finding it. trying to find package location to add to sources but no luck yet Sep 22 21:25:06 then "apt-get install gcc" or "apt-get install build-essential" Sep 22 21:25:44 of course apt-get won't be able to find optware-devel ipkg Sep 22 21:25:45 gcc? Sep 22 21:26:24 yeah, "apt-get install gcc g++" Sep 22 21:26:39 yea what is gcc? Sep 22 21:27:15 gcc is the most used component of a native toolchain, it's GNU C compiler Sep 22 21:28:49 right ok, now i got that on, do i need to compile my own package to get ushare on? Sep 22 21:29:57 does debian have ushare binary package? you should search for that first Sep 22 21:30:36 uShare is also available through apt-get. Simply add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file : Sep 22 21:30:37 deb http://www.geexbox.org/debian/ unstable main Sep 22 21:30:40 apt-get update && apt-get install ushare Sep 22 21:30:47 http://ushare.geexbox.org/#Download Sep 22 21:31:21 thats listed as ubuntu.. Sep 22 21:31:30 but i suspect it should work Sep 22 21:31:47 oh no, i cant read, the specified binaries are for ubuntu Sep 22 21:32:21 Daveyboy_, ^ Sep 22 21:32:25 yep Sep 22 21:32:25 that binary probably are for i386 and amd64 Sep 22 21:32:59 hm Sep 22 21:33:12 yea i already tried adding 1st suggestion toi sources.... file not found Sep 22 21:33:40 so i cant get ushare on debain then? Sep 22 21:33:45 Daveyboy_: debian/arm or debian/armel ? Sep 22 21:33:57 thats what i not sure Sep 22 21:34:03 think arm... Sep 22 21:34:10 Daveyboy_, you can, just need to build from sources Sep 22 21:34:16 bugger Sep 22 21:34:22 in theory, with the right stuff installed Sep 22 21:34:23 make Sep 22 21:34:25 make install Sep 22 21:34:28 ./configure Sep 22 21:34:29 should do you Sep 22 21:35:08 any other easy upnp thats packaged that u know of for debian? trying to get upnp working quick Sep 22 21:35:23 twonjky works, but dont wanna pay as i will not be using it much Sep 22 21:35:27 mediatomb? Sep 22 21:35:43 i believe mikes a fan on it Sep 22 21:35:54 package wasnt found.... need to find address for it Sep 22 21:36:33 http://mediatomb.cc/pages/download Sep 22 21:36:37 need to use their repo Sep 22 21:36:44 and build? Sep 22 21:36:55 nah Sep 22 21:36:57 just install Sep 22 21:39:08 k ill have a look tom. cheers m8 Sep 22 21:39:11 night Sep 22 22:25:09 sdsd **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 23 02:59:58 2008
