hello
anyone here?
I get kernel-panic when test install ZFS on root with freebsd 8.1 on vmware
anyone know where I can find my VPS UUID in the portal page?
found it, sorry for the noise
hello
hi Hien
bob^^: hi bob
o/
Hien?
can i pay with paypal?
Hien?
oops, missed him again
I'm wondering how he failed regarding root on ZFS for 8.1 under vmware
maybe he chose too small memory
Sheesh, zfs as root seems like such a PITA, why do people even bother?
i kinda agree, i must admit
i'm sure it'll get easier in the future
zfs has plenty of advantages, but for root there's probably not a huge amount to be gained
it's not all that hard.
and it *does* mean you can snapshot every single change on your system
and never have to worry about the size of /
Well that's true I suppose.
Still seems like a lot of people fail hard at it ;)
well, there's a few basics you need
and not a lot of docs yet
it helps to have used it on solaris for example
until ZFS on freebsd has data dedup,  I've got little interest in it.
Yeah data dedup would be very nice.
I'm currently using it on my box at home as a software RAID... I like it because when I want to expand I can just replace each drive one at a time.
(or I could add more drives and tak them on)
hi there fellow arpers!
what's up with the console? anyone able to actualy use it?
I connect, get the menu, but if I press 'c' for serial console, it just hangs there
same for 't', it doesn't even display the tunneling instructions anymore
' /home/garry/menu.sh[163]: ?: unexpected `?' '
ok, I'm sending a mail ~_~
hrm
is that console.cust.arpnetworks.com?
yes
can you actualy use it?
Yeah..
Now I am on kvr07.
I'm not sure if what server you're on makes any difference.
for instance, what happens when you press 'l' ?
for me it says 'No virtual machine'
'c' and 't' just hang there
kvr11 if it matters
mine seems to work (05)
Hello
RandalSchwartz: hello
yeah - my console is working
Hien - how much memory did you give your vmware?  what installation did you follow?
RandalSchwartz:: I 've solve this problem with zfs
the default vmware is soething like 256MB... far too small
RandalSchwartz:: even with 256MB work well
well, until you get a lot of disk activity. :)
RandalSchwartz:: Some zsf tuning
RandalSchwartz: Test only
RandalSchwartz: not woking on it :)
RandalSchwartz:  You working zfs on Arpnet box 20$?
I have a 20, 30, 60, and 80 :)
4 boxes
20$ well zfs ?
yes
all of them
64bit :)
512MB ram not working zfs in 32bit..
64bit work well
all amd64
no tweak
only most recent one on 8.1
I need to upgrade the other 3
maybe the problem is not ram but address space?
need some downtime to do that though
Do you recieve ipv6 t-shirt?
yes
fast
:D
Low memory get warning "device busy" always
I followed http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide and success on 256MB ram 32bit :) but get warning "device busy"
No one chatting here ....xD
it's mostly quiet here, until people have questions
then it gets busy for a bit
quite........................
...go to bed now...12:15am :) good day to anyone ;)
gday mates
hola IPv6Freely
hey IPv6Freely
sup doods
I yo
RandalSchwartz: shirt?
ah, neat.
yes. shirt.
arp networks
has turned me from obsolete
to ipv6-enabled
thanks, arp networks!
RandalSchwartz: yeah, I now have one incoming too. The white ones aren't especially appealing, but hey, free shirt.
now if only i knew what to do with an ipv6 address on an internet that speaks ipv4
wallshot: speak to other ipv6 hosts over ipv6 :P
yeah that was gonna be my first guess! :)
is it like owning a hybrid vehicle?  by adopting, am i advocating?
no.
I fully admit that I have no 'good' use for it right now.
but I expect I will soon.
eventually either things are going to switch to ipv6 or there's going to be a significant uptake of it.
so why not be ready?
i think i'll attempt to figure out how much traffic i can get to use ipv6 instead of ipv4
so that i can have some idea of wtf i'm doing when they deprecate the latter
where you have an A record, add an AAAA as well.
hope that helps :P
that's so easy!
where you getting free shirts?
it would figure that my webhosting company's simple dns editor lets me setup CNAME and A records but not AAAA records. booo. :(
guess its time to run my own dns hosts
and srsly
IPv6Freely: if you complete HE.net's ipv6 certification thing and verify your address, they send you one.
what's with the hush hush on the shirts
where "complete" is the Sage level stuff, not 1500 or whatever.
oh.
omg, i can learn about ipv6, AND get a free shirt at the same time???
heh
1024 points, and I'm stayin' there - http://ipv6.he.net/certification/scoresheet.php?pass_name=merlyn
why go for 1500?
you have to find 100 different v6 hosts, 1 per day.
seems time-consuming unless automatid
and I'm too lazy to automate it. ;0
i'd be tempted to write a script
and cron it
if it gets me 100 in 100 days with the effort it would have taken to get 2
i see jdoe on there under latest 10
hurray for earning Sage title
i think my level 66 drow enchanter in everquest had Sage as an available title
evercrack? :)
yah i loved that game
tried returning to it years later, and couldn't get over lame 90's graphics
anyway time to bail for the day. have a good night all
