WhoWhatWhen
jdoelvm on centos is a bit nicer now that they (I think) stopped naming everythin VolGroupXX and LogVolXX by default.
pain in the ass when you're trying to put one machine's disks in another. (ie "hardware died, rescue time")
[00:09]
mercutioit's nice to nam disks by their hostname [00:23]

man, Debian boots quick [03:08]

holy.shit. [03:28]
***Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [03:28]
up_the_ironswas able to resize Debian auto install template on-the-fly during provisioning
just need to script that up...
and it'll be quite a bit less burdensome to manage the debian 6 templates
[03:28]
......... (idle for 43mn)
mercutioweird, i've found ubuntu to boot much faster than debian in general [04:12]
up_the_ironsreally? i've noticed the opposite [04:15]
mercutiothat's server version of both
is debian using btrfs now?
i've noticed btrfs boots slightly faster than ext4
[04:18]
plettI think you can choose btrfs in the Debian 6.0 installer, but it's not the default [04:19]
up_the_ironsmercutio: default is ext3 still [04:20]
mercutioahh ok
i wonder why
[04:20]
up_the_ironsdebian still uses /etc/inittab, it is very conservative :) [04:20]
mercutiowhy it boots fast i mean [04:20]
up_the_ironsthere's not much going on with it [04:20]
mercutioi like /etc/inittab [04:20]
up_the_ironslike, it doesn't do much on boot [04:20]
mercutiohmm
neither does ubuntu
[04:20]
plettThe Debian base install really is very small [04:20]
mercutioi've noticed arch is pretty fast to boot
oh, /netbsd/ i found fast to boot
and VERY small
[04:21]
mike-burnsIt's a good size! [04:21]
mercutioyeh i'm sick of bloat
i'm wondering why my netbsd takes up so much now
oh
i installed all the source
[04:22]
up_the_ironslol [04:23]
mercutioso you're templating images now?
oh you were before too weren't you?
i think i did a reinstall straight away
[04:24]
up_the_ironsmercutio: we always templated, yeah [04:26]
mercutiomaybe you should update openbsd at same time :) [04:26]
up_the_ironsi'm just finally finding time to refresh all our templates, and jpalmer is helping me with centos, so that'll be in the mix now too [04:26]
mercutioahh true [04:27]
up_the_ironsmercutio: ? we already have 5.1 [04:27]
mercutiooh real
you didn't when i did my install :)
i think it was 4.7
[04:27]
up_the_ironsyeah we didn't have 5.1 right away [04:27]
mercutioi don't think 5.1 was out when i installed [04:27]
up_the_ironsah
gotta peel myself away from this screen, bbl

phluxMan
I moved to Gentoo from Arch a few months ago
[14:33]
***twobitha1ker is now known as twobithacker [14:33]
phluxand now I want to move all of my VPSes over to Gentoo, also :|
My ARP VPS is FreeBSD for the time being
4:33PM up 396 days, 18:41, 4 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.06, 0.02
[14:33]
twobithackerthere was a port of Portage to FreeBSD at one point [14:34]
phluxinteresting [14:34]
kraigukraigu gags a little [14:35]
phluxwhy's that? [14:49]
milkiportage...?
gentoo portagE?
[14:59]
up_the_ironsarenlor: :)
nice netsplit
[15:01]
kraigufreebsd portage
not a fan of gentoo generally
and portage is a violation of poor little freebsd's bits :~(
(I'm also a snob)
[15:02]
up_the_ironsphlux: what do u like about gentoo?
kraigu: violation of bits? :)
[15:02]
milkimilki doesnt understand -.- [15:03]
kraiguup_the_irons: yes! :D
up_the_irons: you know what I mean
[15:03]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons is still thinking [15:03]
kraiguit's all about the sanctity of the bits, man
kraigu falls under his desk foaming at the mouth
[15:03]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons hands kraigu more whiskey [15:03]
kraiguyus
wait, that's not going on my bill for next month, is it? :D
[15:03]
milkii think kraigu needs more whiskey [15:04]
kraiguI ALWAYS need more whiskey.
kraigu is very thirsty
[15:05]
up_the_ironslol [15:05]
mercutiowhat about the freebsd/debian thing kraigu
debian gnu/kfreebsd i think it is?
[15:07]
kraiguI've seen it [15:09]
up_the_ironssame here [15:09]
kraiguit's at least not as gross =] [15:09]
up_the_ironshaha [15:09]
kraiguI ... really don't see the point of tying a freebsd kernel to a linux userspace though
to me, part of the reason you run FreeBSD is for the integration between said kernel and the userspace
if you want to run linux... run linux
that said, it takes all kinds
[15:09]
mercutioheh [15:11]
up_the_ironsyeah [15:11]
mercutioi must admit i haven't played much with freebsd any time recently
and the freebsd ports collection was terrible when i used it
[15:11]
kraiguin what way? [15:11]
mercutioit's like they didn't have stable release system for ports [15:11]
phluxup_the_irons: I like the package management - specifically etc-update's way of managing config files that may need updating. [15:11]
mercutiobut they did for kernel/userland [15:11]
kraigumercutio: that's the whole point,r eally [15:11]
mercutioi duno, lots of packages were broken
didn't work
dependency hell etc
[15:11]
kraigumercutio: you *can* stick to just "what was released" with binary packages, but
(I wouldn't)
[15:11]
mercutiothis was before freebsd gave my file system corruption [15:12]
kraiguif that's your objection then it hasn't gotten any better :D [15:12]
mercutiome
nd i switched to openbsd
which had much more stale pots
ports
stable
[15:12]
kraiguhaha [15:12]
mercutiostale too probably i dunno [15:12]
kraiguyes :D
I like "stale pots" though ;)
[15:12]
mercutioi don't use many things [15:12]
kraiguI switched the other way round, from openbsd to freebsd [15:12]
mercutioi have used the same window manage for 11 years [15:12]
kraiguI used to have an openbsd desktop [15:12]
up_the_ironsphlux: ah cool [15:13]
mercutio+r
before that i use enlightenment/twm
i alternated a little
i dunno why openbsd defaults to fvwm
twm is a much saner default
[15:13]
up_the_ironsi prefer fvwm actually [15:14]
kraiguI was fvwm for a few years, then a friend showed me windowmaker, and that's what I use when I have to use a non-Mac desktop nowadays [15:14]
mercutioback ages ago i tried them all
window maker, ovlwm or something, fvwm, twm, enlightenment, something box, umm
kde, gnome,
[15:14]
phluxyou guys are going to hate me [15:15]
mercutiothey were all terrible [15:15]
phluxbut it's KDE4 here. [15:15]
mercutiokde was actually one of the best :)
but it was just too slow on older gaer
gear
it at least seemed coherent
[15:15]
phluxyeah it is slow on older equipment [15:15]
mercutiothen i found ion :) [15:15]
phluxbut my laptop is powerful enough to handle it fine - so why not do it? :) [15:16]
mercutiohmm
my laptop is too slow with linux
it's fine on windows
actuall that's before i upgraded the ram
[15:16]
kraiguphlux: dude, I run Macs as desktops by choice, why would I hate you for KDE4? ;) [15:16]
mercutiolinux really desn't work well as a desktop on 2gb ram [15:17]
kraiguwell, aside from your bad taste ;)
kraigu hides
[15:17]
phluxlol
mercutio: It will with the right WM
[15:17]
mercutioi dunno why but windows handles 2gb of ram better than windos for dektop use
phlux: nah
it's mostly uhh
chrome
and virtualbox
and uhh
all tha other memory hungry stuff
[15:17]
phluxyeah virtualbox will eat right through 2GB of RAM [15:18]
mercutioi think it ws mostly chrome actually
and X
[15:18]
phluxwhen I first got this laptop, it had 2GB, but KDE4 ran perfectly [15:18]
mercutioi don't think i actually use virtualbox on it [15:18]
phluxI ran Chromium at that time [15:18]
mercutiovirtualbox on 4gb was still sucky though [15:18]
phluxI use Chrome now [15:18]
mercutiooh i use chromium
in linux
i think
with an alias on starting to make it store it's cache directory in ram
i have 16gb of ram though
it didn't seem to make much diff
[15:18]
phluxI wonder if it makes any difference that I compiled from source, and you (I'm assuming here) compiled from binary? [15:19]
mercutiochrome is faster under linux than windows for me
firefox is slower under linux than windows...
i didn' compile from binary
i used the provideded packages
on the ubuntu atp repistory from google
or whatever
[15:19]
phluxyeah that's binary packaging [15:20]
mercutioyeah [15:20]
phluxGentoo's package manager compiles everything from source [15:20]
mercutioi've built chrome from source on windows :) [15:20]
phluxI wonder how much of a difference that makes performance-wise? [15:20]
kraiguoh god, you poor monkey [15:20]
mercutioyeh i used to use gentoo
i dunno i wouldn't mind so much if i had a ssd
at hte time
but i found the constant disk grinding in the background distracting
what i like about gentoo is being able to change options around
and being able to have multiple options to provide similar functionality
[15:20]
phluxyeah, USE Flags are amazing
they take some getting used to, but I love them
[15:21]
mercutiobut there were a few annoying things
like it'd keep swapping between mirrors
and one of the mirrors was always really slow
mm and things like gnome took like 6 hours to build
[15:21]
phluxthat is not typically the case anymore [15:22]
mercutiowhich would hav been k6-2 350
i think?
<thinks back>
[15:22]
phluxI built KDE4 pretty quickly (~3.5 hours?) [15:23]
mercutiono that would have been athlon 1300
1 GB ram
one hard-disk
:/
3.5 hours is quick?
i'd asssume things build slower now with everything shifting to c++
and doing templates
and rtlo
[15:23]
kraiguused to take me ~8h to build a kernel [15:24]
mercutioand all that jazz
used to take me 25 minutes to build a kernel
and like 7 minutes to rebuild a kernel?
[15:24]
kraigu:[15:24] <kraigu> spoiled! [15:24]
mercutiothat was 2.1 days?
oh hangon
it took me like 45 minutes on my k6-2
i had stripped kernels
it actually varied a lot
i juse realised
my k6-2 was my shortest lived computer
like 2 years
1 year
i wonder what happened to it
cosi went to a p133
and athlon 1300
oh
i ditched the motherboard/cpu i think
cos my athlon 1300 had same case
mm i'm stuck in the past :/
desktop environemnts haven't really improved any time recently
[15:24]
arenlormercutio: Windows 8 promises to do the opposite though. [15:27]
mercutiounity is so ick it's not funny
arenlor: i'm using winows 8
[15:27]
arenlorup_the_irons: Was there just a heavy spike on kvr05 for disk? [15:28]
mercutioarenlor: classic shell
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
[15:28]
arenlormercutio: Sadly I support Windows, so I'll have to get it and use it. [15:28]
mercutioit's not that bad
basially don't think "click on start bar"
[15:29]
up_the_ironsarenlor: does not appear to be: load average: 3.74, 3.22, 2.76 [15:29]
mercutiothink "windows key"
that looks like a load spike to me :)
iostat is way better for measuring than load average though
[15:29]
arenlorA few months ago my last ME client had their computer fry, I've never been so happy to have a client ignore my "always use a surge protector" advice. [15:30]
mercutiohahahahaha [15:30]
up_the_ironsmercutio: a rise in load by 1 from 15 minute avg to 1 minute avg is not a spike :)
arenlor: lol
[15:30]
arenlorup_the_irons: hmm, it was down ~3MB/s and is slowly rising. [15:30]
mercutiowell a spike isn't necessarily for whole minute
it depends how much activity there is normally
that said
there's a little bit of bias in my head
where 3 is high load"
and 2 is medium
1 is light
0.50 is good
< 0.30 is hardly doing anything
[15:30]
kraigumercutio: my first kernel was 0.99pl14c on my 386DX-25 ;) [15:32]
mercutioload average mostly goes up by disk wait though [15:32]
arenlorNow it's up to 532MB/s [15:32]
mercutioit's much better at measuring disk load than cpu load
kraigu: i had a 486dlc40 running os/2
[15:32]
kraigukernel sources fit on a floppy disk, but .. yeah, 8 hours wasn't unusual [15:32]
mercutiobut i'd played with linux ages ago
and the text output was so slow it wasn't ufnny
[15:33]
kraiguI miss OS/2 :( [15:33]
mercutio486dlc40 is like 386dx-40 [15:33]
kraiguthat 386 triple-booted linux,os/2,dos [15:33]
mercutioi think [15:33]
arenlorHeh, going through spam to make sure nothing is important, brain auto-ignores most of it, somehow sends "Cougar dating" to my concious self to analyze. [15:33]
mercutioarenlor: you getting desperate? :)
os/2 with tshell was pretty fast
much fastr than linux
[15:33]
arenlormercutio: Lol, must be. [15:34]
up_the_ironsmercutio: you are not considering the number of cores in the machine. if you have 8 cores, then a load avg of 8 means 1:1 contention. Over 8 means something is waiting, under that, all processes are runnable except ones blocked on I/O (which is generally what raise the load avg)
mercutio: you cannot say universally, "3" is high, "2" medium, etc...
it's all relative
[15:34]
mercutioup_the_irons: yeh i now
i ws giving my bias
rather tha stating it as fact
[15:34]
up_the_ironsa load of 3 on an 8 core machine is very different than a load of 3 on a 16 core, or 32 core machine
mercutio: roger
[15:35]
mercutiowell yeh it depends how much you're running etc
that said if you saw load average of 3 inside vps it'd seem high
you also need multiple processes to generate load average
i suppose ic ould say that disk i/o average wait time of > 40 msec is high too
with iostat -x
[15:35]
arenlorAnyone else use dovecot? [15:36]
mercutiobut for that kind of thing to be accurate with virtualisation you need a lot of disk i/o
speaking of load average, i see a strange peak of like 13 load average
on a work host :/
it's already dissipated
doo doo odoo
it wsa never there :)
[15:36]
arenlorWhat was never there? ;) [15:39]
mercutioheh
it's a mail server
i don't really care if a mail server gets a bit high in load average
it's a work pc not on arp
but like
it's all relative
like for a web proxy you want to have load average < 1 really
whereas for a mail server it should be < 20 peak
cos mail like if you get a mal storm temp
it's ok to backlog a bit
and it's better to accept than have the client back off
[15:39]
arenlor*/10 * * * * /etc/init.d/dovecot restart >/dev/null 2>&1
That should never be a solution.
[15:43]
mercutiohahaha
what's dovecot doing?
[15:45]
arenlorDisconnecting various folders. [15:46]
mercutiothat sounds bizzare
i've had very few issues with dovecot
[15:46]
arenlorYeah, but that little hack solved it completely. [15:46]
mercutiocompared to qpopper
or cucipop
[15:46]
arenlorCould be that I'm using imaps [15:46]
mercutiothe annoying parts of dovecot are mostly to do with getting the imap folders mapped
and the namespaces
but that's syntax etc
not stability
never used imaps, but used iamp
maybe you should try imap? see if it goes away?
you could always do a ssh tunnel to your imap server if you really want encryption
[15:47]
arenlormercutio: Eh, my solution is simpler. [15:48]
mercutioimap clients like to leave connections open [15:48]
arenlormercutio: That's the issue I think, if I don't use a folder for a while it disconnects it.
The client thinks it's open though.
For whatever reason, restarting it keeps it from disconnecting.
[15:48]
mercutiooh
that could be a nat timeout
do ssh connections die randomly?
[15:50]
arenlorYep. [15:51]
mercutioerk :/
tcp keepalive may help
i'm assuming that it's in your router thouh
[15:51]
arenlorIt's a DD-WRT [15:52]
mercutiooh
are you doing double nat?
[15:52]
arenlorNope, modem bridges to it, it runs as the only NAT. [15:52]
mercutioweird
do you use bittorrent or anything else with lots of connections?
[15:52]
arenlorI use bittorrent, but never with a lot of connections. [15:53]
mercutiomm
bittorrent can keep state on lots
even with small number
[15:53]
arenlorLibreoffice isn't the most popular of downloads. [15:53]
mercutiooh as a seed [15:53]
arenlorCurrently seeding yes. [15:53]
mercutio# cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_count
17
heh
[15:54]
arenlor4 peers total. [15:54]
mercutioi hardly have any
# cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max
23400
[15:54]
arenlorHoly shit, it's been so long that I forgot I asked iTunes to launch, and it's just now coming up. [15:55]
mercutioi wonder what my adsl modem has
oh my adsl modem has connection tracking disabled
yeah i'd say it'd be better to try and fix any nat issues other restarting dovecot every 10 minutes
but is uppose if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for you
[15:55]
arenlormercutio: I am lazy ^_^ [15:57]
mercutioi used to have an adsl modem that's drop ssh connections all the time
now i just route a /29 through the adl modem
adsl
and everything is sweet
[15:57]
arenlorIf writing an entry into crontab is all I have to do, then that's all I do. [15:57]
mercutioand nat on a linux vps for wifi
putty has a workaround for ssh connections dying btw
[15:58]
arenlorI have code for websites that have /* Ugly, but works, so fuck it */ written above it.
mercutio: What's the workaround?
[15:58]
mercutiotcp keepalives and seconds between keep alive under connection
(under putty config)
[15:59]
arenlorHow long should be good? [15:59]
mercutio150
but you can try lower/higher
it depends what the timeout is like
basicall if your nat timeout is 3 minutes then 170 should work
if it's 2 minutes you'd need 110
well i mean 119 or 179 should work
but you never know if it'll get delayed or bad time keeping or somthing
[15:59]
arenlorI like leaving a safety gap. [16:00]
mercutiothat used to bug me to hell and back
becuase i would be not using a shell
then i'd type on it and it'd be all like connection reset by peer
[16:01]
arenlorYep [16:01]
mercutiobut it'd never screw up when it was working
but going and making a coffee or something and coming back would pretty much always screw it :/
[16:02]
arenlorYep [16:02]
mercutioalso some bsds and linux have keep alive in recent versions
err always keepalive
[16:02]
arenlorDebian? [16:03]
mercutio# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl
75
i thik it's that
i've never done anthin with it
depends on kerenl
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/usingkeepalive.html
[16:03]
arenlor3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 [16:04]
mercutiowell see if those variables exist
you'd have to drop keepalive_time
as it defaults to two hours before sending any probes
[16:04]
arenlorYipes. [16:05]
mercutioyeh so set it to something like 120
or 150
are the proc files in there?
[16:05]
arenlorYep [16:06]
mercutiocool :)
ok keepalive_time is the first probe
keepalive_intvl is how often to probe after that
keepalive_probes is how many non reponses before dropping the connection
[16:06]
arenlorNice, thanks. [16:07]
mercutioso after keep_alive time seconds it'll send keepalive_probes number of probes spaced keepalive_intvl apart [16:07]
arenlorYep [16:08]
mercutioso you want keepalive_intvl*keeepaalive_probes long enough that you can have a minute or so of outage
without your connection dying :)
well i would cos i'm on dsl
and would want it to cover a resync
[16:08]
arenlorI'm on Cable, takes a few minutes to resync here. [16:09]
mercutioyeh so make it high enough to buffer against that :)
the other thing that can do othr than keep nat connections up is it means if connections don't receive any traffic they'll still reset if the other end goes away
without it you can have ssh sessions stay around for ages in the background because they've not send anything to realise the other end isn't there
like ssh into host, reboot windows pc
[16:09]
arenlorAh lol, yeah, at least 2 hours. [16:10]
mercutiossh into host see the old ssh
look again hours later and it's stll there
Remember that keepalive support, even if configured in the kernel, is not the default behavior in Linux. Programs must request keepalive control for their sockets using the setsockopt interface. There are relatively few programs implementing keepalive, but you can easily add keepalive support for most of them following the instructions explained later in this document.
[16:10]
arenlorThe only proc I've used before is /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [16:11]
mercutiothere's some always keep alive somewhre [16:11]
arenlorMeh, only keepalive I care about is ssh really
Dovecot takes <1sec to restart, and there's no harm in doing so.
[16:12]
mercutiosysctl net.inet.tcp.always_keepaliv
in freebsd
ok well set the socket option on ssh
unless i can find out linux keepalive always
net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive .. hmm it's the same in freebsd an openbsd
KeepAlive yes
ServerAliveInterval 60
in sshd_config
i dunno if that uses tcp/ip keepalive or not
some submitted a patch for linux in 1999
saying i was in the bsd's
[16:12]
arenlorI have a TCPKeepAlive yes in there already. [16:15]
mercutiooh cool [16:15]
arenlorJust didn't have putty configured for it
Which would explain why my Linux partition never disconnected.
ssh has keepalive defaulted.
[16:15]
mercutiothe defaults are like 2 hours
for tcp keepalive
these nat issues are going to get worse
with the ipv4 starvation
[16:16]
arenlormercutio: Yep. Even with Comcast I can't get real IPv6 [16:17]

figured because they capped it after a certain point i would get comcast
[21:52]
milkiwhoa
the ENTIRE internet in your new apartment
thats awesome
[21:52]
Webhostbudd_but really i can't complain about 30Mb down / 30 Mb up
didn't think they provided symmetric, that is pretty hard to find these days
[21:52]
milkiits rarer to find asymetric with upload much much higher
:P
