[01:00] *** gcw has joined #arpnetworks [01:06] Webhostbudd: roger that, no problem. more servers left for me to play with... ;) [01:07] =p [01:07] i wouldn't mind doing a template install of a freebsd zfs box though [01:07] even if i never used it [01:07] although the directions are dead simple to follow [01:29] Webhostbudd: i keep wanting to do that myself actually... what are the best directions now? i have an old link i think [01:30] pretty simple [01:30] http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=23544 [01:30] that is my favorite one [01:31] oh wow, even optimized for 4K drives [01:32] always [01:33] now, if you just have a "regular" drive, not 4K optimized, will the 4K alignment have any negative effect, or will it just not matter? [01:33] nope [01:34] it just means that the smallest filesize will be in 4k increments [01:34] so it could take up a little more space [01:36] setting up the zfs volume is tedious, but could easily be scripted [01:38] yeah [02:18] up_the_irons: you're meant to align to 1mb now days [02:18] up_the_irons: for partitioning. as some ssd's have bigger than 4k, and storage is a lot bigger than it was. [02:19] oh that was ages ago :) [02:20] mercutio: ah ok. so that is why i see ubuntu 10.04 and debian 6 root fs starting at 1MB instead of 32kB [02:20] yeh [02:20] that screwed up my scripts for a bit until i figured it out... ;) [02:20] it's a pita if you delet a partition table and recreate [02:20] but if you use the dos compatibility mode you can work around that [02:20] yep, i learned that the hard way... ;) [02:21] it took me at least an hour to figure it out i think [02:21] after tryin cfdisk, sfdisk etc etc [02:21] fortunately, parted, instead of fdisk, makes it pretty easy to work with that [02:21] yeh parted wants to handle resizing on it's own etc though i think [02:22] which reminds me i still haven't done anything with the extra space on my vps :) [03:11] *** sako has joined #arpnetworks [03:35] *** sako has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [04:16] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [04:22] *** Hien has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [04:22] *** Hien has joined #arpnetworks [05:00] mercutio: parted can be used w/o its resizing feature; i don't use it. i prefer simply to modify the partition table manually and then run resize2fs [05:41] *** hive-min1 has joined #arpnetworks [05:42] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [05:48] *** hive-min1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [05:51] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [05:58] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [05:59] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:06] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [06:07] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:15] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [06:17] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:23] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [06:24] *** fink has joined #arpnetworks [06:25] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:32] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [06:34] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:40] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [06:42] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:45] *** ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks [06:49] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [06:51] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [06:58] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [06:59] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [07:04] *** ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) [07:06] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [07:16] holy [08:07] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [08:12] *** k3asd` has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [09:13] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [09:15] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [09:15] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [09:29] *** sako has joined #arpnetworks [09:34] *** sako has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [10:06] *** fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) [10:17] *** plett has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [10:17] *** plett_ has joined #arpnetworks [11:50] *** plett_ is now known as plett [12:01] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [12:08] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [12:10] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [12:17] *** hive-mind has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [12:21] *** hive-mind has joined #arpnetworks [14:30] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [14:32] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [14:32] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [14:36] *** Ehtyar has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [15:19] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [22:55] Does anyone in here use pingdom on a arpnetworks site?
