**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 05 02:59:56 2006
Sep 05 08:53:08 <andreTTi> I´m following the wiki for DebianSlug / Bootstrap but after I do mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 I get a message: "/dev/sda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!"
Sep 05 08:53:21 <andreTTi> is this normal or have I screwed something up?
Sep 05 09:48:25 <walle> hi.. i'm having an irritating problem with my openslug which i'm unable to solve. transfer rates to partions other than the first is extremly slow. does anyone know what the problem may be?
Sep 05 09:52:24 <drif> walle: which filesystem are those?
Sep 05 09:52:34 <walle> ext3
Sep 05 09:52:42 <drif> hm
Sep 05 09:52:50 <walle> well ext2 on the first
Sep 05 09:52:59 <walle> but i have another disk with ext3 aswelll
Sep 05 09:53:17 <walle> no, there all ext3, sorry :)
Sep 05 09:55:05 <walle> it's nothing wrong with the disk since i get full transferrates with the first partion and full transferrate with the partion when the disk is connected to another computer
Sep 05 09:58:00 <drif> yeah, that's why asked if any of the partitions were different fs, such as NTFS - which could have explained the slowdown
Sep 05 09:58:13 <walle> :)
Sep 05 09:58:33 <walle> no, it's the same fs.
Sep 05 10:00:02 <walle> looks like writing is worst
Sep 05 10:00:38 <walle> ~70K/s
Sep 05 10:03:23 <walle> yes, reading is ok and writing is not.
Sep 05 11:00:54 <condor> hello, i was upgrading to V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta and all worked fine, i then fucked up a bit with vsftpd and from now i need to reset the firmware, i tried to format the drive using the webinterface but still no success
Sep 05 11:01:23 <condor> im now thinking of reflashing the unslung firmware to the nslu directly, but ive got serious problems entering red boot
Sep 05 11:01:48 <condor> the reset option opens no telnet while the light turns red
Sep 05 11:02:03 <condor> and when normally powering on, i also cant telnet into the machine
Sep 05 11:02:32 <condor> but i still can access the webinterface and telnet when the machine is powered up
Sep 05 11:02:49 <condor> is there a way to reset the firmware or my problems when being in telnet?
Sep 05 11:06:30 <drif> condor: what did you do with vsftpd?
Sep 05 11:06:44 <condor> ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
Sep 05 11:06:58 <condor> i echo'd this to /unslung/rc.xinetd
Sep 05 11:07:06 <condor> from this moment most thinks fscked up
Sep 05 11:07:47 <condor> better said this is what i think crashed it
Sep 05 11:08:00 <condor> from this moment i couldnt acces telnet anymore when i booted from disk
Sep 05 11:08:26 <drif> hm, just wondering why you did that rc.xinetd
Sep 05 11:08:49 <condor> didnt read the wiki entry and ipkg install vsftpd said sthg like this
Sep 05 11:08:56 <drif> did you try to activate the telnet via management?
Sep 05 11:09:01 <condor> yeah
Sep 05 11:09:06 <condor> not working when a disk is plugged in
Sep 05 11:09:12 <condor> now i formatted the disk
Sep 05 11:09:23 <condor> but i get this, its already unslugged
Sep 05 11:09:28 <drif> you could have started unplugged - plugged in and removed that rc.xinetd file
Sep 05 11:09:31 <drif> then reboot
Sep 05 11:10:08 <condor> The flags that indicate an already-unslung system have now been
Sep 05 11:10:08 <condor> removed and the required mounts should now become present after
Sep 05 11:10:08 <condor> reboot of the NSLU2.
Sep 05 11:10:54 <condor> im doing the reboot now 
Sep 05 11:12:57 <condor> uh
Sep 05 11:13:00 <condor> its doing something now
Sep 05 11:13:08 <condor> its counting down from 120s
Sep 05 11:13:29 <drif> what are you doing?
Sep 05 11:14:44 <condor> a /sbin/unsling disk2
Sep 05 11:14:53 <drif> ok
Sep 05 11:15:10 <condor> Error: /share/flash/data (disk2, /dev/sda1) is not a mounted disk
Sep 05 11:15:10 <condor> uh
Sep 05 11:15:29 <condor> damn
Sep 05 11:15:31 <condor> <- stupid as hell
Sep 05 11:15:41 <condor> forgot to plugin the usb cable after all this plug in plug out things
Sep 05 11:15:48 * condor thinks he should be punished
Sep 05 11:16:38 <condor> ok now i have this its already unslung error again, trying to format the disk via web interface 
Sep 05 11:16:48 <condor> formated but still the error
Sep 05 11:17:07 <condor> http://paste.debian.net/12300 this one
Sep 05 11:18:57 <condor> so i now removed this .unslung 
Sep 05 11:19:11 <condor> and it flashed with telling me files existed
Sep 05 11:19:16 <condor> ill now try to reboot
Sep 05 11:19:29 <condor> but i see the problem coming that i wont be able to telnet now
Sep 05 11:21:22 <condor> uNSLUng status:   Unslung to disk2, /dev/sda1
Sep 05 11:21:30 <condor> trying to telnet 192.168.1.77 doesnt work
Sep 05 11:21:34 <condor> webinterface has telnet enabled
Sep 05 11:22:09 <condor> can this really have sthg to do with the vsftpd problem?
Sep 05 11:22:14 <condor> drif any idea?
Sep 05 11:23:15 <drif> and you have checked slug's ip is .77?
Sep 05 11:23:23 <drif> which is default though
Sep 05 11:23:41 <condor> yeah it is
Sep 05 11:23:46 <drif> can you ping it?
Sep 05 11:23:55 <condor> i can even access it via webinterface
Sep 05 11:23:56 <drif> of course :P because you can web if it
Sep 05 11:24:05 <condor> just not telnet
Sep 05 11:24:09 <drif> sorry, too many things multitasking here..
Sep 05 11:24:17 <condor> only telnet if its boots from internal memory and not from the disk
Sep 05 11:24:40 <condor> Current telnet service status: Enabled =(
Sep 05 11:24:46 <drif> boot unplugged then
Sep 05 11:25:27 <condor> ok
Sep 05 11:27:28 <condor> ok im in via telnet now
Sep 05 11:27:38 <condor> without a disk..
Sep 05 11:27:48 <condor> what now?
Sep 05 11:27:52 <drif> could you register your nick?
Sep 05 11:28:36 <condor-> done
Sep 05 11:36:40 <condor--> drif sry my workstation crashed
Sep 05 11:36:46 <drif> np

Sep 05 11:41:37 <condor_> drif uh that is so stupid
Sep 05 11:41:50 <condor_> when i vi edit the file my local workstation crashes
Sep 05 11:41:57 <drif> what? :P
Sep 05 11:41:59 <condor_> yeah
Sep 05 11:42:02 <condor_> very funny
Sep 05 11:42:03 <drif> amazing
Sep 05 11:42:12 <condor_> irq less or net equal -> stupid windows :P
Sep 05 11:42:15 <drif> are you using putty?
Sep 05 11:42:22 <condor_> this i why i need the nslu in order to save my files -> format
Sep 05 11:42:45 <drif> or which program you use to telnet?
Sep 05 11:43:01 <condor_> windows telnet
Sep 05 11:44:05 <drif> I'd suggest getting putty asap
Sep 05 11:44:14 <drif> google: putty download
Sep 05 11:44:25 <condor_> yeah i know putty
Sep 05 11:44:31 <condor_> i even got the ssh client here =(
Sep 05 11:44:33 <drif> why not using then?
Sep 05 11:44:46 <condor_> using it now
Sep 05 11:44:49 <drif> ok
Sep 05 11:44:54 <condor_> wanted to wait for ssh
Sep 05 11:44:58 <drif> why?
Sep 05 11:45:01 <drif> :P
Sep 05 11:45:05 <condor_> uuuh :P
Sep 05 11:45:05 <drif> I see no apparent reason
Sep 05 11:45:20 <drif> I'm using via telnet because I'm on local network
Sep 05 11:45:26 <drif> and still using putty

Sep 05 17:13:38 <andreTTi> I'm trying to install debian with bootstrap method and have run into a problem (again)  =) .. I can no longer run programs like vi or wget after I had done chroot /mnt/debinst
Sep 05 17:14:11 <andreTTi> get the following error: "sh: /usr/bin/wget: cannot execute binary file"
Sep 05 19:54:07 <tuv> andreTTi, you sure you debootstrap'ed using the right arch?
Sep 05 20:24:14 <andreTTi> well I´m not sure what the problem was but I started again from the beginning and now it´s working fine! =)
Sep 05 20:24:37 <tuv> great
Sep 05 20:34:01 <andreTTi> yea =) now it´s playtime!
Sep 05 20:35:06 <montanaro83> hello
Sep 05 20:35:10 <montanaro83> anybody online?
Sep 05 20:35:18 <caplink811-log> ~ask
Sep 05 20:35:19 <capbot> If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes.
Sep 05 20:36:37 <montanaro83> if I connect usb hard disks to nslu2 is it possible to stop their rotation when they are idle? Like in linux or windows when the disks are connected to IDE or SATA bus and you activate SMART...
Sep 05 20:37:49 <tuv> i don't think SMART has got anything to do with disk rotation (spin down)
Sep 05 20:38:36 <NSLU2-IRC> i lost connection then reconnected, if meanwhile somebody answered me, can you repeat please?
Sep 05 20:38:59 <caplink811-log> <tuv> i don't think SMART has got anything to do with disk rotation (spin down)
Sep 05 20:39:07 <montanaro83> ok
Sep 05 20:39:14 <montanaro83> i lost connection then reconnected
Sep 05 20:39:26 <montanaro83> maybe I've lost apiece of your answer... :/
Sep 05 20:39:45 <montanaro83> anyway ok, maybe spin down is done via apm or something...
Sep 05 20:40:04 <montanaro83> anyway, is it possible to make disks spin dowsn on nslu2?
Sep 05 20:40:38 <tuv> there are a few pages on spin down in the wiki (nslu2-linux.org)
Sep 05 20:41:05 <caplink811-log> there are some possible setups described on the wiki, you should search with mem stick or scsi spin down as keywords
Sep 05 20:56:09 <montanaro83> ok, I've read the page on the wiki, there's a lot of information...
Sep 05 20:56:55 <montanaro83> now I must only discover if my hard disks support the KEEP_OVER_RESET flag...
Sep 05 20:57:25 <montanaro83> is there a list of hard disks that supprt it anywhere on the internet?
Sep 05 22:11:01 <krbvroc1> Hello, I've tried several times to install debian on my NSLU2 but it fails. Is this supposed to work currently? I'm using the firmware+debootstrap method, not the debian installer.

Sep 05 23:11:28 <GoatBoy> hrm
Sep 05 23:31:00 <montanaro83> on spindown wiki page is written that most usb hdd external boxes have problems with sdparm
Sep 05 23:31:44 <montanaro83> so, does scsi-idle method work with these boxes or not?
Sep 05 23:32:07 <montanaro83> or maybe scsi-idle has nothing to do with sdparm?
