Sep 29 05:43:23 <gouki> 'night everyone!
Sep 29 12:58:05 <PPmarcel> DrZimmerman: i have a question about debian nslu2
Sep 29 12:58:34 <PPmarcel> the manual installation consist to put debian on the hd from a computer, right?
Sep 29 12:58:50 <PPmarcel> so what is in the flash of the nas? i don't see anything on that
Sep 29 12:59:11 <DrZimmerman> PPmarcel: hmm, i didn't used my nslu2 for more than a year
Sep 29 12:59:22 <DrZimmerman> PPmarcel: can't help you there
Sep 29 12:59:45 <PPmarcel> you didn't said me that you already installed debian on it?
Sep 29 12:59:53 <PPmarcel> or it's not you .. :)
Sep 29 12:59:58 <PPmarcel> maybe i confuse
Sep 29 13:00:13 <DrZimmerman> PPmarcel: nope not me :)
Sep 29 13:00:22 <PPmarcel> erf :p
Sep 29 13:00:32 <PPmarcel> ok
Sep 29 13:07:57 <PPmarcel> ah it's ok, cyrius as changed the installation method, it's more easy now
Sep 29 13:25:46 <widrone> PPmarcel: There is a way to still use the di and workaround the etch r1 bug supposedly. 
Sep 29 13:26:36 <widrone> PPmarcel: And "in the flash of the nas" there is a initrd I think. Plus some bootloader...
Sep 29 13:26:59 <widrone> You are following the install from cyrius page? 
Sep 29 13:27:12 <PPmarcel> actually i'm at 180km from my nas :)
Sep 29 13:27:25 <PPmarcel> i use it for irc and downloads
Sep 29 13:27:39 <PPmarcel> but as soon as i'm at home, i'll use cyrius webpage, yes
Sep 29 13:28:03 <PPmarcel> widrone: you are right, cyrius put an image for upslug anyway
Sep 29 13:28:17 <PPmarcel> but it's wasn't soo clear in previous version
Sep 29 13:28:41 <PPmarcel> because he was talking about using microcode or else
Sep 29 13:28:48 <widrone> PPmarcel: you could try using the debian installer image anyways to flash, reportedly it should work.
Sep 29 13:29:09 <PPmarcel> even with the problem of bad links?
Sep 29 13:29:13 <widrone> PPmarcel: Let me dig out a link that refers to it. I am planning to try it out myself soon.
Sep 29 13:29:57 <widrone> http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg07128.html
Sep 29 13:30:08 <widrone> Its with setting debconf pri to low.
Sep 29 13:30:28 <widrone> You have to answer alot of more questions thu, but it seems to be doable. 
Sep 29 13:31:04 <widrone> I never got around a problem I had with formating thu, but it was frorm a bad slug/flash combo ;)
Sep 29 13:31:35 <PPmarcel> ah :D
Sep 29 13:31:54 <PPmarcel> do you work with debian?
Sep 29 13:33:05 <widrone> I had a slug running it for months, but now im testing slugOS again on one of then. Got 2. 
Sep 29 13:33:28 <PPmarcel> ok
Sep 29 13:33:49 <PPmarcel> who are the real motors of openslug?
Sep 29 13:33:57 <PPmarcel> i mean slugOS *
Sep 29 13:34:01 <PPmarcel> they are here?
Sep 29 13:34:35 <widrone> I started getting random kernel kcrashes when doing heavy disk io so I swawpped in a slug running from another disk just to rule anything out. 
Sep 29 13:35:10 <PPmarcel> ayh, maybe you can help me about voip?
Sep 29 13:35:16 <widrone> PPmarcel: They are around here yes, not all the time thu. 
Sep 29 13:35:22 <PPmarcel> ok
Sep 29 13:35:36 <PPmarcel> they do a good work
Sep 29 13:35:59 <randoms> hi. i have a diskstation running nslu2. how do i mount the harddrive using nfs? i have tryed: mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=2 192.168.1.2:/volume1/public /mnt/DS  but gets this error: mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused
Sep 29 13:36:05 <PPmarcel> do you know a software for arm, which allow me to use a phone thanks to sip?
Sep 29 13:36:45 <PPmarcel> randoms: you have configured nfs before?
Sep 29 13:36:50 <randoms> nope
Sep 29 13:36:57 <randoms> could not find a howto on the site either
Sep 29 13:37:18 <PPmarcel> do you use unslung?
Sep 29 13:37:54 <randoms> good question ^^ default Diskstation firmware. BusyBox v1.1.0 (2007.06.29-17:18+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Sep 29 13:38:25 <PPmarcel> you didn't flash your nslu2? you use linksys stock firmware?
Sep 29 13:39:16 <randoms> nope. as i said, i have the newest diskstation firmware, and enabled telnet/ipkg
Sep 29 13:39:57 <PPmarcel> you should try unsluns at least
Sep 29 13:40:09 <PPmarcel> it's linksys + package system
Sep 29 13:40:27 <PPmarcel> and you can add fuctionalities like nfs
Sep 29 13:40:49 <PPmarcel> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/NewUsersGuide
Sep 29 13:40:55 <widrone> randoms: Just to clairify it for me, you running stock firmware or something you downloaded from slug-firmware.net? 
Sep 29 13:41:03 * widrone is a bit slow today. 
Sep 29 13:41:22 <PPmarcel> :)
Sep 29 13:41:30 <randoms> im using synology firmware :>
Sep 29 13:41:42 <PPmarcel> aaah
Sep 29 13:41:50 <PPmarcel> you're not using a nslu2?
Sep 29 13:42:04 <widrone> ds-101 something im guessing? 
Sep 29 13:43:16 <randoms> ds-107e
Sep 29 13:43:32 <widrone> you are trying to moount the nfs share on this 1.2 machine yes? And that is the remote machine? 
Sep 29 13:43:52 <randoms> im trying to mount the DS harddrive on my laptop, so i can access the files from here.
Sep 29 13:44:41 <widrone> h, so the mount command is the one mounting the nfs share on the synology then, I see. My nfs skills are non existant, sorry. 
Sep 29 13:44:51 <widrone> Ah*
Sep 29 13:45:16 <randoms> im not even sure if nfs is installed on the ds.
Sep 29 13:45:36 <widrone> You got the portmapper up and running "netstat -l" will probably tell you. 
Sep 29 13:46:11 <randoms> dont seem like it
Sep 29 13:47:07 <widrone> aybe the nfs howtos on tldp.org can give any clues as how to troubleshoot nfs more.  
Sep 29 13:47:37 <widrone> But ipkg can list your installed packages if you want that. 
Sep 29 13:47:44 <widrone> See if it is installed. 
Sep 29 13:48:27 <randoms> kk
Sep 29 13:48:29 <randoms> thnx
Sep 29 13:50:03 <widrone> randoms: Np, stick around if you want to. We can convince you to load something more usefull to that ds of yours ;)
Sep 29 13:50:24 <widrone> my slug just beeped 3 times, must be something ready loaded on it then I guess. 
Sep 29 13:53:20 <PPmarcel> ah yes widrone , debian installed manually or installed via installer, it's the same stability?
Sep 29 13:53:45 <PPmarcel> or does exist a way which made the system more stable?
Sep 29 13:53:57 <widrone> Same os In theory so I cant see any reason not to. 
Sep 29 13:54:22 <PPmarcel> i don't know too, just seen some ppl complain because reboots
Sep 29 13:54:31 <PPmarcel> ah, maybe it was with opendebianslog :o
Sep 29 13:54:41 <PPmarcel> slug*
Sep 29 13:54:44 <widrone> Same as a debootstrap, and I have done that on other archs. no difference. 
Sep 29 13:54:52 <PPmarcel> so it's ok
Sep 29 13:55:06 <PPmarcel> i will flash my router in the week
Sep 29 13:55:10 <widrone> PPmarcel: All the endianness gets confusing really fast ;)
Sep 29 13:55:23 <PPmarcel> idd
Sep 29 13:55:32 <widrone> PPmarcel: router? What hw you got plugged into the slug? 
Sep 29 13:56:47 <PPmarcel> my network is like this: (modem)--(linksys wrt54gl)--(nslu2)
Sep 29 13:57:01 <PPmarcel> i found a linksys adsl2mue for remplace my modem
Sep 29 13:57:09 <PPmarcel> but if i do that, i'll lost my phone :(
Sep 29 13:57:19 <PPmarcel> i don't know how use sip with the slug
Sep 29 13:57:24 <PPmarcel> maybe with asterisk
Sep 29 13:57:53 <PPmarcel> i'm affraid to lost all performances of the nas with that 
Sep 29 13:58:08 <PPmarcel>  What hw you got plugged into the slug?
Sep 29 13:58:18 <PPmarcel> it's not the answer that you expected?
Sep 29 13:59:16 <widrone> (modem)--(linksys wrt54gl)--(nslu2) <- just like my network! ;)
Sep 29 14:00:50 <widrone> I got one of the slugs running from 1gb flashstick, with a 4port usbhub for disks. The other one is supposed to have bluetooth/gps, but its a testcace for different flashes atm. 
Sep 29 14:01:18 <PPmarcel> woot \o/ :)
Sep 29 14:01:24 <widrone> PPmarcel: Never used asterisk really, so I dont know anything about the power it requires.
Sep 29 14:01:46 <PPmarcel> it's a complete pabx
Sep 29 14:02:10 <PPmarcel> it offer a lot of fuction, but i just look for a way to use my phone
Sep 29 14:02:39 <PPmarcel> i can plug it in a rj-45 connector (my phone is rj11), but i dunno about compatibility
Sep 29 14:02:52 <PPmarcel> gps? O_o what's the use of?
Sep 29 14:03:03 <PPmarcel> your house is moving? =)
Sep 29 14:04:23 <PPmarcel> (don't take it bad :( )
Sep 29 14:04:59 <widrone> PPmarcel: One of the slugs is modded with a battery connector. And I have gprs on my mobile phone. 
Sep 29 14:05:20 <PPmarcel> impressive :p
Sep 29 14:05:42 <PPmarcel> i just use mine about a static server
Sep 29 14:06:03 <PPmarcel> wich provide ftp, irc bitorrent. And sambe for sharing
Sep 29 14:06:26 <PPmarcel> which firmware do you use on your router?
Sep 29 14:07:13 <PPmarcel> i have tomato, it allow me to fix a precise QoS and internet restriction (i share my network, and i won't see any p2p client)
Sep 29 14:07:25 <widrone> PPmarcel: its been running whiterussian (openwrt) since I moved in here 8 months ago, I rarely fuzz with it. 
Sep 29 14:08:19 <PPmarcel> you are a good openwrt user? :o
Sep 29 14:08:45 <PPmarcel> i'm intersted to use it on my router, but i don't know how works QoS with it
Sep 29 14:08:57 <widrone> I got it set up the way I wanted, after that I played abit with kamikaze on the slug. 
Sep 29 14:09:16 <PPmarcel> nice :)
Sep 29 14:09:22 <widrone> No qos here, I enfore bw policy by sheer force of my fists! ;)
Sep 29 14:09:50 <PPmarcel> there is a packages system with openwrt?
Sep 29 14:09:59 <widrone> ipkg! 
Sep 29 14:10:10 <PPmarcel> with optware?
Sep 29 14:10:15 <PPmarcel> oooh slim...
Sep 29 14:10:59 <PPmarcel> QoS is possible with netfilter, but i need layer-7 or ip2p at least, to do what i want to set
Sep 29 14:11:05 <widrone> Now youre bringing me into the "not 100% territory" again, but the kamikaze (dev version) I think, yes. 
Sep 29 14:11:36 <PPmarcel> ok :p
Sep 29 14:12:53 <widrone> althu, gpsd I seem to remember was available in the openwrt/kamikaze feed but not in openslug feeds. Thats quoting from my non-eec ram ;P
Sep 29 14:13:27 <PPmarcel> more packets maybe, it's a good news
Sep 29 14:13:45 <PPmarcel> but i dunno if i'm enough courageous to launch the avanture :p
Sep 29 14:14:48 <PPmarcel> ah yes :D http://wiki.openwrt.org/MiniHowtos/QoSHowto
Sep 29 14:15:42 <PPmarcel> maybe i could test x-wrt if i don't want to be totally lost
Sep 29 14:16:03 <widrone> I was under the impression that the feeds were moslty the same, but again my grasp of the cvs backend structure are lacking indeed 
Sep 29 14:16:46 <widrone> kamikaze has webif2, but its not done yet in all the pages. 
Sep 29 14:17:02 <widrone> x-wrt is with a web interface isnt it? 
Sep 29 14:17:07 <PPmarcel> yes
Sep 29 14:17:15 <PPmarcel> wabif2 too?
Sep 29 14:17:21 <PPmarcel> webif*
Sep 29 14:18:02 <widrone> webif is the kamikaze web config overlay, but stuff like package installation from web is not done yet. The different grafs it makes is lovely thu ;)
Sep 29 14:18:30 <widrone> PPmarcel: If you ever used monowall I think they made use of the code they made to make those lovely pages. 
Sep 29 14:20:04 <PPmarcel> i watch
Sep 29 14:21:34 <PPmarcel> mine: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato
Sep 29 14:22:31 <PPmarcel> The recommended amount of RAM for m0n0wall is 64 MB :)
Sep 29 14:22:41 <PPmarcel> i miss a lot of ram i think ^^
Sep 29 14:23:13 <PPmarcel> btw i think that openwrt is the only one to be full
Sep 29 14:23:27 <widrone> Ah, just refering to monowall with regards to the bwlog generating code. Not as a distro to run on the wrt ;)
Sep 29 14:23:39 <PPmarcel> ah ok
Sep 29 14:23:40 <PPmarcel> :D
Sep 29 14:23:54 <PPmarcel> but i want to be honest
Sep 29 14:24:06 <PPmarcel> what is bwlog generating code?
Sep 29 14:29:20 <widrone> the code that generates the bandwith usage webpages, sorry...not being very presice am I 
Sep 29 14:32:25 <PPmarcel> and without that, using ssh is very hard? or is it fast to leanr how route and set rules?
Sep 29 14:37:56 <widrone> rules as in qos or routing of firewalling? All of the above? :) 
Sep 29 14:38:39 <PPmarcel> routing and firewalling first
Sep 29 14:38:52 <PPmarcel> that's the most important for a router! :)
Sep 29 14:39:25 <PPmarcel> at least routing
Sep 29 14:39:42 <PPmarcel> i do my pause
Sep 29 14:39:47 <PPmarcel> *aw*
Sep 29 14:40:20 <widrone> Ow, no resize2fs in the openslug feeds. Thats a bummer... 
Sep 29 14:41:13 <widrone> PPmarcel: Im not sure to tell you "its easy", but anything is doable. Im mostly not touching my wrted gw so I wouldnt know what to tell you 
Sep 29 14:42:32 <widrone> Stupid widrone, its in the e2fsprogs ofc. Just that ipkg didnt want me to search it... 
Sep 29 15:33:09 <gouki> Guys, I have a user which nslu2 keeps forgetting the password. I have to SSH as root and passwd 'user' to change it.
Sep 29 15:34:49 <Soheil> Would building the SlugOs from the tarball give the me choice of any kernel I would like?
Sep 29 15:37:23 <widrone> gouki: What arae you running from the flash?  And is there any external disks attatched? 
Sep 29 15:38:30 <gouki> widrone: Yes. I have two HDD attached. Unslung (V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta) to drive #2
Sep 29 15:39:25 <widrone> gouki: Only that user it happens with or everything except root? 
Sep 29 15:39:54 <widrone> Is it ssh password or samba pass too btw, just incase were talking about different things here. 
Sep 29 15:40:14 <gouki> widrone: I have only two users (root included). It doesn't forget root's password, so it's just that user.
Sep 29 15:40:25 <widrone> Ehy, someones poking with the website... 
Sep 29 15:40:34 <gouki> widrone: Only SSH. I just got started with it and haven't installed SAMBA yet.
Sep 29 15:42:18 <widrone> gouki: you did unsling then rebooted (just to be safe) and root is on the HHD? TThen you added user with adduser and set the pass with passwd 
Sep 29 15:42:54 <gouki> widrone: Yes. Exactly.
Sep 29 15:43:10 <widrone> forgetting password, that is a strange one.
Sep 29 15:43:42 <widrone> Soheil: I was about to pint you to some info on the wiki, but it seems to be down for some maintenence now 
Sep 29 15:44:51 <widrone> point* ;)
Sep 29 15:44:56 <Soheil> What a shame. No hurry though :)
Sep 29 15:45:51 <Soheil> I'll be back searching in a few hours :) reality caught upp with me and I've got to go shoping groceries.
Sep 29 15:45:52 <widrone> Soheil: I tend to stick to binarys around here, so I got no practise with it. But hang aroung a bit and there will surely be someone...
Sep 29 15:46:38 <Soheil> Will do :)
Sep 29 15:53:16 <gouki> widrone: Never heard that one before? :)
Sep 29 15:54:09 <widrone> gouki: no, only thing i can figure is thst the /etc/passwd (or shadow files) is sometimes on the flash root, and sometime on the hdd /etc/
Sep 29 15:54:26 <widrone> or that you updated one and it reads from the other... 
Sep 29 15:54:39 <gouki> Yeah, probably! :S
Sep 29 15:54:58 <widrone> But that is my general linux feeling, trying to recreate from memory how the unslung / tree is buildt up- 
Sep 29 15:56:10 <gouki> Gotta try and figure that one that.
Sep 29 15:56:45 <widrone> gouki: what sshd btw sshd or "the other one" (name escapes me, the tinyone)  
Sep 29 15:57:07 <gouki> sshd
Sep 29 15:57:14 <gouki> openssh, that is.
Sep 29 15:57:30 <widrone> gouki: Can you pastebin you mount output just to clarify it for me? 
Sep 29 15:58:01 <widrone> Soheil: The webpage is back btw, but eaet dinner first ;)
Sep 29 15:58:26 <gouki> widrone: Sure, no problem.
Sep 29 15:58:36 <gouki> I'll use a pastebin service so I don't flood the channel.
Sep 29 15:59:34 <gouki> http://pastebin.ca/719744
Sep 29 16:00:12 <gouki> <offtopic>EDNA or GNUMP3d?</offtopic>
Sep 29 16:01:07 <widrone> gouki: looks ok to me the mounts...
Sep 29 16:01:52 <gouki> widrone: yeah :( me too. That's whats making the problem so weird
Sep 29 16:02:14 <eno> gouki: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine
Sep 29 16:02:43 <widrone> Maybe you are not updating what you think you are updating ;)
Sep 29 16:02:44 <eno> you need to copy to /share/hdd/conf/ as well
Sep 29 16:03:15 <gouki> eno: I'll have a look at it
Sep 29 16:04:01 <eno> hmm, actually /etc/passwd should be good before reboot
Sep 29 16:06:21 <gouki> eno, I copied to /share/flash/conf/passwd because I'm using disk 2
Sep 29 16:08:19 <eno> does password work if you do "su - <username>" ?
Sep 29 16:09:53 <gouki> encode: Yes, it does.
Sep 29 16:10:38 <widrone> eno: Thanks, didnt remember that until you so clearly poined out. 
Sep 29 16:12:06 <eno> unslung is being compatible with linksys firmware here
Sep 29 16:12:17 <gouki> I'm completely in love for that little thing :)
Sep 29 16:12:58 <eno> with openssh, i always use pub-key authentication instead of passwd
Sep 29 16:13:17 <eno> that way, passwd does not matter
Sep 29 16:13:54 <eno> there's even a keychain ipk, that helps you type your pass phrase just once
Sep 29 16:14:29 <widrone> Soheil: You shold atleast read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/BuildingTheTarball to start you off. 
Sep 29 16:16:02 <widrone> Probblem with that instruction is getting the intel libs. They seem to be offline. 
Sep 29 16:16:48 <widrone> Soheil: Maybe the versions linked from the MasterMakefile  wikipage. 
Sep 29 16:18:10 <gouki> What do you guys recommend. EDNA or Gnump3D
Sep 29 16:19:11 <widrone> laters... 
Sep 29 16:19:39 <gouki> Take care widrone
Sep 29 16:30:08 <randoms> hi. im trying to emerge dev-java/sun-jdk. ang i get this error: !!! Error: circular dependencies: ebuild ... depends on -> and so on.
Sep 29 16:30:39 <randoms> at the bottom it says, !!! Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily disable USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.
Sep 29 16:30:46 <randoms> how can i know witch flags that are?
Sep 29 16:31:58 <randoms> gah
Sep 29 16:32:00 <randoms> wrong channel
Sep 29 16:32:01 <randoms> sry
Sep 29 16:40:23 <Soheil> Widrone: Thanks
Sep 29 16:44:41 <gouki> Do you guys recommend a specific software for mp3 streaming? I'm thinking about edna or gnump3d.
Sep 29 18:03:53 <PPmarcel> gouki: mt-daapd
Sep 29 18:04:09 <PPmarcel> and you listen your music with itune
Sep 29 18:05:01 <PPmarcel> DrZimmerman: i know why i confused you: i remember your name, about your ipv6 !
Sep 29 18:15:40 <gouki> PPmarcel: That's just it. I don't want to depend on a client to listen to the music. That's why I was thinking of gnump3d, 'cause I can hear it on a browser
Sep 29 18:16:10 <PPmarcel> ok
Sep 29 18:16:14 <PPmarcel> i undestand
Sep 29 18:16:36 <PPmarcel> if you try gnump3d, could you say me if it accept video too?
Sep 29 18:16:43 <PPmarcel> (divx :p)
Sep 29 18:19:41 <gouki> PPmarcel: Sure thing, but I really doubt it. :)
Sep 29 18:20:39 <PPmarcel> hehe
Sep 29 18:20:45 <PPmarcel> i'm always here anyway
Sep 29 18:21:00 <PPmarcel> i look for a solution about streaming
Sep 29 18:31:00 <DrZimmerman> PPmarcel: heh, ok :)
Sep 29 18:33:33 <PPmarcel> yes, i asked you how the hell you have ipv6
Sep 29 18:33:44 <PPmarcel> never mind xD
Sep 29 18:36:04 <PPmarcel> pb? http://www.nslu2-linux.org/
Sep 29 19:34:36 <gouki> Damn, I'm really in love with this thing!! :) This is so much fun!!
Sep 29 19:35:19 * gouki now realizes that playing with a nslu2 on a saturday night is just pure geek! 
Sep 29 20:20:35 <gouki> Has anyone tried Gnump3D? Don't really like to compile from source.
Sep 29 20:39:36 <gouki_> uptime: couldn't get boot time: No such file or directory
Sep 29 20:39:40 <gouki_>  - Any idea on how to fix this?
Sep 29 20:40:12 <caplink811-log> which firmware?
Sep 29 20:41:54 <caplink811-log> seems to be unslung, gouki you should install procps
Sep 29 20:44:02 <gouki_> caplink811-log: Yes, it's Unslung. I'll give procps a look
Sep 29 21:56:32 <gouki> Has anyone installed fail2ban?
Sep 29 22:35:09 <johang> package archive seems to be unoperational. are there mirrors?
Sep 29 22:39:23 <johang> sorry. it works now.
Sep 29 22:39:30 * johang scratches head
Sep 29 23:02:32 <widrone> Well Im back again to play more with the nslu, and yes...saturday night and were at home playing with our slugs. ;)
Sep 29 23:17:53 <widrone> johang: I also am having some 404s with the feeds. 
Sep 29 23:18:30 <widrone> nslu2 web was moving around earlier today and monotone hosting asw, may be some doing upgrades in the background on the server hw maybe. 
Sep 29 23:20:33 <widrone> Same thing as www.nslu2-linux.org was on earlier, gave it 10 min and it was back. 
Sep 29 23:37:16 <widrone> DNS providers have been switched today Im hearing, so that probably it. Now you know ;)
Sep 29 23:47:39 <widrone> ipkg. server seems to be back again, you addicts! 
Sep 30 00:22:53 <NSLU2-IRC> Hi everibody
Sep 30 00:32:23 <widrone> hello you 
Sep 30 00:50:49 <gouki> Hi!
Sep 30 00:51:04 <widrone> "resize2fs: Memory allocation failed while trying to resize /dev/media/media", meh. Bad, bad lvm... 
Sep 30 00:53:32 <widrone> Nice error msg thu; "oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x200d2, order=0"
Sep 30 00:59:42 <widrone> Not supposed to happen with swap around, but it still does it seems. 
Sep 30 01:16:01 <joshin> widrone: Yeah, it is rather annoying.  None of the normal fixes work for it either.
Sep 30 01:16:32 <joshin> I think it has to do with attemts to access swap timing out during very high I/O loads.
Sep 30 01:20:08 <widrone> joshin: Thanks for the pointer, I may try to move the swap around to see if that helps. now its on the same usb port as my /... doing the resize on disks on port 2. 
Sep 30 01:21:22 <widrone> Ill just try to kill off anything and unload all unused modules first, just to give that a whirl. 
Sep 30 01:21:38 <joshin> widrone: Good luck.  I need to properly debug the problem (so that smarter people than me might fix it) but have been lazy.
Sep 30 01:22:34 <widrone> Either Im hitting two similar bugs or debian and slugos handles this differently.
Sep 30 01:23:24 <joshin> I actually think it is a kernel issue.  
Sep 30 01:23:31 <widrone> Then again running fsck or resize on a 700-900 gb LVM volume on something with 32mb ram should be a problem maybe. 
Sep 30 01:23:52 <joshin> Or running Gentoo on one and updating locally.  :D
Sep 30 01:24:02 <widrone> If all else fails ill plug it into something else and do the resize. 
Sep 30 01:24:39 <widrone> But the slug abides damnit, I know it can :) 
Sep 30 01:25:13 <joshin> I'd want to do it on a different machine if I had one available just since it would be faster.
Sep 30 01:28:12 <widrone> Only other machine I got around only has usb 1.1 so I rather not do it that way really.
