<0> :P
<0> why mess with something bulky like a db
<0> if you can just generate them on the fly like that?
<1> Yeah, when a simple loop will do it FINE
<2> matja: so, the next thing to test.. is trying to put another file on the tape?
<0> matja: if it's a large file that keeps messing up, it might statistically be either the file or the point at where the tapedrive starts writing (when it's still doing the same file)...
<0> you could try generating a huge file of crap
<0> and seeing if that locks up the tapedrive as well
<0> narrow it down to the fs or the tape
<2> I was testing using the gentoo livecd
<3> ok good point, i'll try that
<3> im pretty certain it isnt the fs... but ok
<2> putting it straight off the internet onto tape ;P
<0> grab an ISO of Gentoo or something :P
<2> since it already has a precalculated md5sum too
<0> yae
<0> my thoughts exactly
<2> hmm.. there is _no_ way I can write a full tape without getting buffer underruns
<3> is there a way to get tar to count the buffer underruns?
<2> that'd need hardware striping and huge drives
<2> matja: I only listen to the drive
<0> I've dropped tape myself in favor of backups to SANs
<0> :/
<2> when you hear it stopping and rewinding
<0> at least for the dailies
<2> I need to deliver at least 10Mb/s but at the real speed should be 24Mb/s
<3> how would i put just one file on a tape then, just dd?
<2> my hdds can only handle like 17Mb/s
<0> just tar to the tape device?
<0> a single file?
<2> matja: I use dd
<2> pv <file> | dd of=/dev/st0 bs=256k
<3> k
<3> # pv 100Mtest | dd of=/dev/st0 bs=256k
<3> dd: writing `/dev/st0': Invalid argument
<3> pv: write failed: Broken pipe
<3> "mt -f /dev/st0 status" says its online
<3> staring to dislike tape
<3> 8)
<0> yikes
<0> well that's not very good
<0> perhaps the blocksize is too big?
<3> 128k gives me the same.... but tar -cv -f /dev/st0 --blocking-factor $[128*1024] 100Mtest works...
<0> weird
<0> is it running?
<3> it completed... no error
<0> try a bigger file
<0> 200M 300M etc.
<0> it's kinda weird if it's not going to trigger
<0> you'd almost think it was an fs error again
<0> bbiab
<4> Init don't start and only prints out "Give root p***word for maintenance" O_o
<2> actually.. using linux software striping.. should be faster than a single drive, am I right?
<2> a hardware controller still would need to deliver the same amount of data through the bus
<2> doh
<4> Whon't the speed be lower if using raid on a singel harddrive?
<1> Why would you RAID one disk?
<5> yea raid on a single disk is useless
<2> who said anything about using one drive?
<1> ponzur.
<5> < Funklord> actually.. using linux software striping.. should be faster than a single drive, am I right?
<1> "Striping across two disks should be faster than normal use of one disk"
<1> "am i right"
<2> I ***ume people use at least 2 drives for any type of striping
<6> no
<6> you're ****ing wrong
<1> "no u"
<7> snax: can you teach me how to **** right then?
<7> :P
<7> *gone* LOL
<6> only if you are a female
<6> but you're a dude
<6> so no way
<8> pejujuca
<8> sekimfw
<9> niqux
<2> matja: did you figure out how compression works?
<2> can the tape drive do compression on its own?
<10> where can I set the console resolution? right now it's on 800x600
<11> xorg.conf?
<11> nm you said console.
<11> i'm thinking console as in sitting in front of the machine.
<12> kernel command line
<10> I guess I could edit it in grub
<10> but the I have issues with X when I do that
<13> how can i fix my usb mouse? it doesn't work. i've just finished the install and rebooted. coldplug is running and i've compiled my own kernel. I have Logitech G5 lazer mouse.
<10> hummm I just re-installed today gentoo because yesterday I had issues with emerge --update --ask world and even with a clean install it hates pam-login and X
<10> tzeng you might want to edit just the xorg.conf by copying it from the livecd
<10> and making look at the kernel to see if your model of mouse is there
<10> if not go on the internet and get the drivers and just re-compile the kernel
<13> Kyran: it doesn't work in console either. using gpm
<10> humm tried going on the internet and looking for drivers for it?
<10> for unix that is
<10> because I know the razor mouse has macro features and tons of things to it
<13> i can look into it. thanks :)
<10> is there a way to update and skip Blockers ?
<10> anytime tzeng
<13> =)
<10> time to install freebsd I guess
<10> stupid emerge --update is always giving me issues
<14> if its too complicated for you, go to bsd
<10> it's not complicated there just too many blockers
<10> on a Fresh install
<10> which doesn't make any sense at all
<10> why would pam-login be a blocker for example
<10> and this is a fresh install not only that livecd only lets you install gentoo-livecd and half of the time crashes on installs
<14> http://www.calivia.com/blog/mike/resolve-pam-login-shadow-upgrade-conflict-on-gentoo
<5> pam-login has been replaced by the shadow pkg ... if you look at the block line you would see that ... and the gui installer ****s use the minimal cd and follow the handbook
<10> ya I should install from the minimal cd ..
<10> I tried livecd nongui / gui and man does that thing have issues
<10> 3/4 of the time I need to re-install everything anyhow manually because it crashes so much
<5> **** you could use a knoppiz cd if ya want
<10> lol
<10> I don't need a cd bootable os :p
<10> I was running slackware without any issues at all but I wanted something better
<15> Kryan: i update over 2500 packages on regular basis and have very very very seldom problems
<5> well you can ... any livecd that has fdisk mkfs wget/links will do
<15> learn to use portage correctly, pam is deprecated included elsewhere now
<10> I guess it's my bad luck hehe
<5> ohh i guess tar is needed too
<10> ya I think i'll strip the os right now
<10> remove X completely / Pam-login
<10> re-install shadow
<15> ?
<10> and I should be good to go
<15> remove pam, remerge shadow
<10> yep
<12> removing pam is a bad plan
<15> lol, its a local box
<5> spb: pam-login is depricated ... replaced by shadow
<15> dont piss your pants
<15> :)
<12> yes, pam_login you should remove
<12> but not pam
<16> you dont need pam-login, you do need pam
<15> ah :)
<15> yes, sorry
<15> btw anyone tried tremolous?
<10> utempter is what exactly?
<15> App that allows non-privileged apps to write utmp (login) info
<15> ...
<15> :)
<10> bingo
<5> good ol eix
<15> yes :)
<10> you guys recommend emerge --update --ask world for the first time?
<10> or just a --deep
<16> tbh, emerge -u world is all you ever really need to do, -D every time is just for compulsive upgraders
<16> like myself
