| 00:01 | <jasonvan> | I'm using this as my reference http://library.linode.com/web-servers/apache/installation/ubuntu-10.04-lucid |
| 00:01 | <sirpengi> | so what's the output of `ps aux | grep apache`?? |
| 00:01 | <jasonvan> | 25379 0.0 0.1 1860 592 pts/0 S+ 22:56 0:00 grep --color=auto apache |
| 00:01 | <sirpengi> | apache ain't running |
| 00:02 | <jasonvan> | k how do I start it up? |
| 00:02 | <sirpengi> | what happens when you type `/etc/init.d/apache2 start` |
| 00:02 | <sirpengi> | the guide you're following there explains how to turn the server on and restart/reload |
| 00:03 | <jasonvan> | (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 |

| 00:04 | <jasonvan> | obviously the ip address isn't right |

| 00:04 | <sirpengi> | no, that's fine |
| 00:04 | <sirpengi> | 0.0.0.0 means to bind on all IPs |
| 00:04 | <jasonvan> | wait I might have found the issue |
| 00:05 | <sirpengi> | oh wait, are you doing `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start` |
| 00:05 | <sirpengi> | ?? |
| 00:06 | <sirpengi> | (or otherwise running the command as root) |
| 00:06 | <jasonvan> | no |
| 00:06 | <jamiedol> | su root |
| 00:07 | <jasonvan> | I used sudo |
| 00:07 | <sirpengi> | what's in your /etc/hosts |
| 00:07 | <sirpengi> | on your linode? |
| 00:08 | <sirpengi> | it's either your hosts file is messed up or you have another thing taking up port 80. |
| 00:08 | <sirpengi> | but since your linode isn't responding on :80 I think the second option is unlikely |
| 00:08 | <jasonvan> | alright I got it working |
| 00:08 | <jasonvan> | thx for the help |
| 00:08 | <sirpengi> | it works for me now |
| 00:08 | <retro|blah> | Was just able to telnet in |
| 00:09 | <sirpengi> | your page is '</p>test</p> |
| 00:09 | <jasonvan> | yeah |
| 00:09 | <sirpengi> | what was the issue? |
| 00:09 | <jasonvan> | wasn't starting apache2 as root |
| 00:09 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 00:09 | <jamiedol> | lol |
| 00:10 | <jasonvan> | and my document root was wrong |
| 00:10 | <jamiedol> | Just stay logged in as root and you won't have that problem. ;-) |
| 00:10 | <jasonvan> | right |
| 00:11 | <sirpengi> | ugg |
| 00:11 | <jasonvan> | sorry for newbie questions. thx again |
| 00:11 | <sirpengi> | that's probably asking for trouble, especially if you're not familiar with system administration |
| 00:11 | <jasonvan> | sirpengi, I know. I never run as root |
| 00:12 | <jamiedol> | Enable backups first. |

| 00:12 | <jamiedol> | Seriously linodes backup system is pretty cool, you can just roll back to the prior day if you trash the machine. |
| 00:13 | * | encode rolls back a few years of his life, using the linode backup system |
| 00:15 | <foreverwondering> | Does linode seriously install telnet? |
| 00:16 | <mwalling> | telnet client or server |
| 00:16 | <sirpengi> | what's wrong telnet? it's a nice tool |
| 00:16 | <foreverwondering> | server |
| 00:16 | <mwalling> | because the telnet client is a perfectly good network diagnostic tool |
| 00:16 | <foreverwondering> | It's insecure |
| 00:16 | <mwalling> | no shit |
| 00:16 | <mwalling> | why would you think they did that |
| 00:17 | <foreverwondering> | Somebody mentioned telneting into their box |
| 00:17 | <mwalling> | [03-16][03-16] 23:48:48 < jamiedol> type: telnet 127.0.0.1 80 from your box and tell me what it says |

| 00:17 | <mwalling> | READ THE WHOLE DAMN COMMAND |
| 00:17 | <sirpengi> | foreverwondering: people use telnet to test services all the time |
| 00:18 | <mwalling> | and secondly, you can install what ever you damn well please |
| 00:19 | <foreverwondering> | I was reading the start apache - didn't read the conversation carefully enough |
| 00:19 | <retro|blah> | mmmmmmmmm, telnuts |
| 00:20 | <sirpengi> | if you can speak the protocol you can access it using telnet |

| 00:22 | <sirpengi> | in fact, things like memcache, redis, and varnish let you send commands over telnet |
| 00:23 | <foreverwondering> | cool just missed the 127.0.0.1 part. I though s/he was using tenet instead of ssh |
| 00:25 | <foreverwondering> | anyway from what I go of the conversation they seemed to working with a default install. From what I gather the basic install is pretty much a base OS install from disk. I figure I'd have to go about installing a bunch of crap like FTP servers and mail servers, and I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't. |

| 03:06 | <czr> | meme, does webcit support https? what is webcit anyway? |
| 03:06 | <dcraig> | 443 is the typical port for https... |
| 03:07 | <czr> | yes, but that doesn't really mean anything unless webcit supports https protocol |
| 03:07 | -!- | icez [~icez@ip68-2-96-192.ph.ph.cox.net] has joined #linode |
| 03:08 | <czr> | if it only knows http, then setting it to listen on 443 will just cause furious headache. |
| 03:08 | <meme> | it is in the installtion for |
| 03:08 | <meme> | citadel |
| 03:09 | <meme> | again no idea of that the hell is webcit |
| 03:09 | <meme> | since it is asking i assume it dodes |
| 03:10 | <czr> | port 80 is the default port to serve requests using http. port 443 is the default to serve requests using https. |
| 03:10 | <czr> | default as in when you use URLs in a browser, and don't specify explicit ports, the browser will connect to those two depending on the protocol prefix of the url (http://foo or https://foo) |
| 03:11 | <dcraig> | why would the default setting be something that doesn't work? :p |
| 03:12 | <dcraig> | just keep clicking the Next button! |
| 03:12 | <czr> | dcraig, you're asking why some random thing should work against your expectations? |
| 03:13 | <dcraig> | huh |
| 03:14 | <czr> | meme, according to webcit help, in order to use https you'll also need to specify the -s parameter (which automatically turns -p into 443) |
| 03:14 | <czr> | now, you're probably using some fancy web interface to configure it, so it probably will have some checkbox or something to enable SSL for webcit |
| 03:14 | <czr> | although, are you sure you want ssl for webcit? |
| 03:15 | <czr> | seems to me that it's some kind of backend engine that the frontend will connect to |
| 03:15 | <czr> | and they'll probably run both on the same machine, so using SSL for that connection doesn't make sense. |

| 03:38 | <sirpengi> | that seems sorta silly though |
| 03:38 | <sirpengi> | because you'll need that port open to handle requests anyways (in order to bounce them to the new port) |
| 03:39 | <batande> | Yeah...you are correct. It seems silly. |
| 03:39 | <sirpengi> | I could see it making some sorta sense if you bounced them from http into https on a weird port |
| 03:40 | -!- | Fieldy [wew3koKSrt@li77-30.members.linode.com] has joined #linode |

| 04:40 | <djayc> | My linode just start spiking CPU at 12AM.. not sure what's going on. When I connect with lish it's just dumping stuff about the memory and CPU information |
| 04:41 | <djayc> | Any ideas what might be causing that? |
| 04:41 | <djayc> | looks like information re: the swap / paging status |
| 04:42 | <marius_> | OOM'ing ? |
| 04:42 | <marius_> | no wait, that would segfault stuff |
| 04:42 | <djayc> | yeah |
| 04:42 | <djayc> | that's what it's doing |
| 04:43 | <marius_> | oh, ok, I'll put a finger on OOM then |
| 04:43 | <djayc> | oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201d2, order=0 [<c014f979>] out_of_memory+0x1c9/0x200 |
| 04:43 | <djayc> | log messages look like that |
| 04:43 | <marius_> | You ran out of memory |
| 04:44 | <djayc> | that's really strange.. nothing was really going on on that instance that I know of.. CPU just spiked about 1 hour and 45 mins ago |
| 04:44 | <marius_> | maybe you got /.'ed ? |
| 04:44 | <marius_> | or a rogue process |
| 04:44 | <djayc> | Nah it's just a dev box.. could be a rogue process |
| 04:44 | <djayc> | Is there any way to tell? The box seems unusable at this poiint |
| 04:45 | <marius_> | I think you'll need to hit the big red reboot button at least, but not sure how to tell what dd it as I've never experienced it my self |

| 04:58 | <dylanvee> | Hi all, looking to run a small web application and trying to decide between a Linode 512 and an Amazon EC2 Micro. Any advice as to which I should go with? :) |
| 04:58 | <dylanvee> | They're roughly the same price. |
| 05:03 | <troy> | from my personal experience ec2 micro's are extremely slooow in comparison to a linode 512 |
| 05:03 | -!- | jameswilson [~Adium@200.2.130.151] has joined #linode |
| 05:04 | <dylanvee> | i've heard that too. might be enough to make me go linode, even though ec2 micro has 613 mb ram vs. linode's 512 |
| 05:05 | <dylanvee> | And do I even wanna ask whether I should use Linode or Slicehost :-) |
| 05:07 | <troy> | i've never used a slice but have been a linode customer on and off for over 7 years and have nothing bad to say about them |

| 05:12 | <troy> | yes the user cp is great and always being improved.. the aws interface is err.. clunky |
| 05:12 | <dylanvee> | yes, and tbh all their restrictions / terminology are confusing |
| 05:12 | <dylanvee> | just give me a server, you know? |
| 05:13 | <troy> | yes, takes a while to learn, and it annoys me how they allocate an internal ip to the eth0 then manage the firewall etc for you, let me do that!! |
| 05:14 | <dylanvee> | yeah |
| 05:14 | <dylanvee> | and so much for a simple pricing calculator.... |

| 08:12 | <bjorne> | tamat: make sure you do not output anything before calling session_start |
| 08:14 | <tamat> | nop, nothing is printed, by Im using serverside file for sessions, not cookies, so I dont think it should matter |
| 08:14 | <tamat> | it looks like some kind of problem when retrieving the files for the sessions |
| 08:14 | <tamat> | because it keeps creating new sessions instead of using the old ones |
| 08:14 | <bjorne> | oh, right. but it needs some kind of cookie anyway i guess? |
| 08:15 | <bjorne> | containing the session id or similar... |
| 08:15 | <tamat> | I dont think so |

| 08:17 | <tamat> | session.use_cookies specifies whether the module will use cookies to store the session id on the client side. Defaults to 1 (enabled). |
| 08:17 | <tamat> | you are right, it uses the cookie for the session id |
| 08:17 | <tamat> | and I disabled that |
| 08:18 | <bjorne> | ah |
| 08:18 | <bjorne> | looks like it doesn't store any data in the cookie anyway |

| 08:20 | <tamat> | anyway, I enabled that thing again and it keeps happening, but you put me on the right track, it has something to do with the session id, I will investigate |
| 08:20 | <tamat> | thanks again bjorne |
| 08:24 | <tamat> | this is strange, I print the value of PHPSSID in my browser client and it is different from the one sent by the request, and inside my host I have too session files, one with every name |

| 12:58 | <AzumaHazuki> | I'm looking at a Linode 512 for one website |
| 12:58 | <tjfontaine> | it varies from host to host, but in short big honking ones |
| 12:58 | <danieldg> | my cpuid says: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5520 @ 2.27GHz |
| 12:58 | <AzumaHazuki> | Ooh, nice an L5520 :) |
| 12:59 | <JshWright> | several of them per host... |
| 12:59 | <tjfontaine> | indeed |
| 12:59 | <JshWright> | Linodes get access to 4 virtual cores |
| 12:59 | <AzumaHazuki> | so the average L512 is sharing one MP server with up to 39 others... |
| 13:00 | <JshWright> | if the host is fairly quiet (which, according to Linode staff is virtually all the time for the vast majority of hosts), you can use the equivalent of 400% of a L5520 core |
| 13:00 | <AzumaHazuki> | Xeon L5520 is Nehalem-class 60W TDP right? |
| 13:00 | * | AzumaHazuki forgot, and she's more of a desktop than server geek |
| 13:01 | <tjfontaine> | it's fast, I'm content knowing that |

| 13:03 | <JshWright> | also... |

| 13:03 | <linbot> | Users with ops are employees of Linode, and know what they're talking about. The rest of us are the ever-so-helpful(?) community. Official Linode contact information: http://www.linode.com/about/ |
| 13:03 | <whud> | Sure, thanks |
| 13:04 | <whud> | The most important is: can I choose which datacenter the VPS is deployed to? I need one in EU and one in US |
| 13:04 | <tjfontaine> | yes |
| 13:04 | <JshWright> | yep |
| 13:04 | * | tjfontaine lets JshWright take point |
| 13:04 | <whud> | And is it possible to move between datacenters if I start out with one server? |
| 13:04 | <whud> | cool |
| 13:04 | <AzumaHazuki> | Okay, question 2: I am currently running our stuff on a Gentoo system with an i3 530 CPU. So, the binaries I have will work on the L5520. Can I choose a Gentoo Linode, set it up, and just scp or rsync the contents of my server? |
| 13:04 | <JshWright> | yeah, moving a Linode from on DC to another is as simple as opening a support ticket |
| 13:04 | <jkwood> | AzumaHazuki: Yup. |
| 13:05 | <AzumaHazuki> | Super schweet :) |
| 13:05 | <tjfontaine> | whud: and resizing is quick as a clikc of a button (it will require downtime) |
| 13:05 | <JshWright> | it'll obviously take some time to copy your data to a different DC, but that's all handled automagically |
| 13:05 | <jkwood> | You will want to run the Linode-provided kernels most of the time, unless you really badly want to play with pv-grub. |
| 13:05 | <whud> | Thanks JshWright, i think that covers most of my concerns :) |

| 13:09 | <whud> | Ah, great. The stuff Im looking to do will require a small amount of bandwidth |
| 13:09 | <AzumaHazuki> | f I choose Gentoo VPS, do I get to install from scratch or is there a premade image? |

| 13:11 | <bd_> | There's no official policy against it. |

| 13:15 | <bd_> | hah, compiling OOo with 512mb? Good luck with that :) |
| 13:15 | <jkwood> | We do recommend going with a 32-bit userspace for smaller Linode environments, unless you have some very good reason for going 64-bit. |
| 13:15 | <whud> | Yea, on Linode. I signed up:) |
| 13:15 | <jkwood> | And yes, smaller swap spaces are better. Swapping is dying on a Linode. |

| 13:16 | <AzumaHazuki> | eh, I'm going to put 768MB of Swap on a 512 if I get that |
| 13:16 | <jkwood> | Will you be hibernating it? |
| 13:17 | <AzumaHazuki> | that's allowed on a VPS? And I can't imagine why I would |
| 13:17 | <JshWright> | no reason for more than 256MB on a Linode, regardless of the distro or plan size. It's nice to have a _little_ swap where the kernel can stick really stale pages to free up space for caching, but if you start hitting swap for "normal" usage, you're done for |
| 13:17 | <mwalling> | AzumaHazuki: you could have an 8GB swap if thats what you want |
| 13:17 | <AzumaHazuki> | hmm, okay |

| 13:17 | <jkwood> | mwalling: Don't remind me. |

| 13:20 | <AzumaHazuki> | Ohhhh, man, thanks for telling me. So, in other words, I need to use my paranoid IPTables =P |
| 13:20 | <JshWright> | the Atlanta DC filters a few ports, but none of the other DCs do |
| 13:20 | <bd_> | JshWright: I thought some of them filter SMB? |
| 13:21 | <JshWright> | well, treat it like a box with a world routable IP |
| 13:21 | <AzumaHazuki> | paranoid, then |
| 13:21 | <JshWright> | bd_: I didn't think so, but I wouldn't swear to it |
| 13:21 | <bd_> | but yeah, atlanta filters 6667 and a few other ports. the others are more or less wide open, modulo some frequently exploited windows ports that the datacenter filters out of general paranoia |
| 13:22 | <AzumaHazuki> | i always tell iptables to drop everything as policy (-P DROP) then allow only loopback traffic, then state matches on established and related connections, and only then do I open some ports |
| 13:22 | <AzumaHazuki> | and even then, only some protocols, with limits |
| 13:22 | <JshWright> | that's certainly a reasonable approach |

| 13:24 | <JshWright> | bd_++ |
| 13:24 | <AzumaHazuki> | I know it better than any other distro and I know how to harden it |
| 13:25 | <bd_> | AzumaHazuki: One of the reasons is that the reliance on revdep-rebuild leaves you with a window in which a vital solib can be broken with an upgrade, after which point you have to rebuild an unpredictable number of other packages that depend on it |
| 13:26 | <bd_> | if some of those packages take a long time to rebuild, that can turn into a very long outage |
| 13:26 | <AzumaHazuki> | bd_: that rarely happens to me even on a general use desktop. We're going to be running a minimal set of packages and using very conservative C and USE flags |
| 13:27 | <AzumaHazuki> | basically just the base system plus: apache, php, mysql, X, IceWM, ATerm, tightvnc, and maybe a browser for previewing the sites before going live |
| 13:27 | <bd_> | Still, it's a fundamental design issue in gentoo that I really don't like :) |
| 13:27 | <JshWright> | AzumaHazuki: it's your server, and certainly your choice, it's just not a distro that very many folks who do this sort of stuff day in and day out would go with |

| 15:14 | <czr2> | yeah bad |
| 15:14 | <czr2> | typo |
| 15:14 | <JshWright> | what do you mean by "find" it? |
| 15:14 | <AviMarcus> | uhh.. linode is unmanaged |
| 15:14 | <AviMarcus> | you don't have one unless you installed / configured one |
| 15:15 | <czr2> | my bad* this web browser irc client hides my message when typing |
| 15:15 | <czr2> | so i installed citdel |
| 15:15 | <JshWright> | I'm trained in USAR, as well as WSAR, and we never went over how to find an smtp server... |
| 15:15 | <czr2> | so i am tring to configure citadel to recive mail on my lonode |
| 15:16 | <czr2> | i can send email but can't recive them |
| 15:16 | <AviMarcus> | is that a linode in lindon? a lonode? |
| 15:16 | <AviMarcus> | bah london* |
| 15:16 | <czr2> | on one of the guides it said "under the smart hosts option add in your SMTP server" |
| 15:16 | <AviMarcus> | czr2, if you want smtp access via your linode, you need to set up a mail program |
| 15:17 | <czr2> | yeah lonide like i said the chomes hidding my message whn i type so can't see what i typed |
| 15:17 | <czr2> | linode** |
| 15:17 | <czr2> | i did citadel |
| 15:18 | <czr2> | I am able to send messages from my linode but not able to recive them |
| 15:18 | <czr2> | one of the guides online said i need to do this "under the smart hosts option add in your SMTP server" |
| 15:18 | <czr2> | and that is why the question |
| 15:18 | <czr2> | again that was an configuration option in citadel |
| 15:19 | <AviMarcus> | You need to install software to create an smtp server |

| 15:20 | <AviMarcus> | yes blake.. prorated per day. The credit goes to your linode balance though |
| 15:20 | <AviMarcus> | you can even use the API to automate that |
| 15:20 | <AviMarcus> | for instance spinning up more servers to manage the load or something |
| 15:20 | <blake> | okay, because i'm with rackspace cloud and they bill by the hour |

| 15:29 | <blake> | downstream you? |
| 15:29 | <AviMarcus> | propercoil, you just need to open a ticket |

| 15:29 | <blake> | propercoil: what do you mean by they downstream you? |
| 15:29 | <AviMarcus> | meaning it won't go faster.. |
| 15:29 | <@pparadis> | it means there's an outbound rate limit of 50 Mbits/sec by default, and if you are consistently hitting the cap it can be raised with a ticket. |

| 15:33 | <DrJ> | 11.2MBps is basically 100Mbit |

| 15:34 | * | pparadis smacks the crap out of auraka and tells him to shut it. |
| 15:34 | <blake> | does linode have any way of creating a private LAN? |
| 15:34 | <blake> | or is it just the internal IPs all on the same subnet? |
| 15:34 | <tjfontaine> | there is a private lan, and you're free to run your own vpn |
| 15:34 | <@pparadis> | blake: there's a private network available, you just need to add a private IP from the remote access tab and configure it statically. |
| 15:34 | <propercoil> | pparadis i want to start use linode, got 35k visitors / day, images & clips are in a S3 amazon stack. what do you recommend? |

| 15:34 | <auraka> | ack |
| 15:34 | <auraka> | sorry |
| 15:34 | <blake> | well, it's not truly private because other linode customers are all on it, right? |

| 15:37 | <blake> | questions* |
| 15:37 | <@Praefectus> | ^ |
| 15:37 | <AviMarcus> | 35k visitors, not 35k pageviews? |
| 15:37 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 15:37 | <auraka> | lol...k |
| 15:37 | <tjfontaine> | blake: it's private as in non-routable ips, if you want further restirctions that's your responsibility |
| 15:37 | <propercoil> | 35k unique visitors a day |
| 15:37 | <AviMarcus> | ah. Hmm. try a 1gb then maybe. It's <30 min to upgrade/downgrade.. |
| 15:37 | <ajmitch> | how you handle 35k visitors/day depends entirely on what the site is actually doing for each request |
| 15:37 | <JshWright> | propercoil: what sort of app are we talking about? |
| 15:37 | <DrJ> | what is the IP for the linode dns manager? |
| 15:38 | <tjfontaine> | manager.linode.com |
| 15:38 | <Kuboing> | 35k visitors a day? an unlikely figure |
| 15:38 | <DrJ> | so that is where I should point my nameserver? |
| 15:38 | <blake> | tjfontaine: one of my concerns with rackspace cloud right now is MITM attacks between my web and database servers (they communicate in plain-text over the rackspace lan) |
| 15:38 | <Kuboing> | unless it's spam |
| 15:38 | <blake> | but that wouldn't be a problem on linode? |
| 15:38 | <JshWright> | 35k well cached, fairly static requests would be trivial for a 512... 35k requests to a poorly written, bloated app could bring a _much_ larger server to its knees |
| 15:38 | <propercoil> | ajmitch : images are in amazon s3 stack, each visit cost a XML include + 2 html includes |
| 15:38 | <tjfontaine> | blake: to hijack your stream they'd have to perform some serious feats |
| 15:38 | <JshWright> | blake: if you're that worried, just encrypt the traffic |
| 15:38 | <@pparadis> | DrJ: there's no cap on inbound transfer. the cap is on _outbound_ |
| 15:38 | <@pparadis> | AviMarcus ^ |
| 15:39 | <DrJ> | ah |
| 15:39 | <AviMarcus> | k |
| 15:39 | <@pparadis> | s/cap/default rate limit/ |
| 15:39 | <blake> | JshWright: encrypting mysql traffic gives a huge performance hit |
| 15:39 | <tjfontaine> | hahahaha |
| 15:39 | <@pparadis> | it took me a minute to realize what you were doing. |
| 15:39 | <Kuboing> | pparadis: wait, I thought the bandwidth pool was for both incoming and outgoing? |
| 15:39 | <JshWright> | blake: no it doesn't |
| 15:39 | <@pparadis> | Kuboing: that has nothing to do with this. |
| 15:39 | <Kuboing> | oh... |
| 15:39 | <@pparadis> | Kuboing: 15:39 <@pparadis> s/cap/default rate limit/ |
| 15:39 | <propercoil> | Kuboing: then both chartbeat and google analytics are wrong okay |
| 15:39 | <JshWright> | it's a _little_ overhead, but it's not that bad at all |
| 15:39 | * | ajmitch could probably never hit 50Mbps testing from NZ |
| 15:39 | <Kuboing> | propercoil: I'm just saying it's an unlikely figure |
| 15:40 | <JshWright> | propercoil: so the site is serving static resources? |
| 15:40 | <propercoil> | Kuboing i'm not trying to impress, just looking for service |
| 15:40 | <tjfontaine> | blake: and almost any other form of "private" you're being sold contains more overhead than just ssl |
| 15:40 | <JshWright> | (dynamic includes of static files, that is) |
| 15:40 | <linbot> | New news from forums: URL/IP trimming to prevent errors in Feature Request/Bug Report <http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=6840>; |
| 15:40 | <propercoil> | yes static + a little bit of mysql |
| 15:41 | <JshWright> | propercoil: how hard is the database getting hit? |
| 15:41 | <@pparadis> | propercoil: as an example, people serve a *lot* more traffic than what you're talking about from linode 512s. it depends entirely on how you configure your stuff. |
| 15:41 | <propercoil> | JshWright not much. i use a CronJob to output XML files every 20 minutes, php takes it from there |
| 15:42 | <@pparadis> | how much caching are you doing? |
| 15:42 | <TheFirst> | and how short of a timespan the hits come in ... too many at the same time and you can't do much against essentially a ddos |
| 15:42 | <propercoil> | currently using Zend caching |
| 15:42 | <@pparadis> | TheFirst: that again depends on how you've configured your stuff. |
| 15:42 | <JshWright> | propercoil: sounds like it would be pretty easy to throw a load balancer in front of this and scale it out as much as you need |
| 15:42 | <Captain_Intern> | what happened periphilion? |
| 15:42 | <TheFirst> | pparadis: well yeah ... but there's always some number that'll fill the pipe up...nothing's infinite |
| 15:43 | <@pparadis> | TheFirst: that's really not in the scope of what we're discussing here. |
| 15:43 | <TheFirst> | agreed |

| 15:43 | <blake> | linode is the same price as rackspace cloud, but rackspace doesn't include ANY bandwidth |
| 15:44 | <sirpengi> | also linode is 9001x better |
| 15:44 | <JshWright> | how much logic goes into the includes? is it strictly based on the URL? |
| 15:44 | <@pparadis> | blake: i think you'll also find the performance and service to be excellent as well. |
| 15:44 | <blake> | i guess i just need to figure out what the bw overage cost is on linode per GB |
| 15:44 | <@Praefectus> | blake: $0.15 per GB |
| 15:44 | <blake> | cheaper than rackspace |
| 15:44 | <@Praefectus> | unless you buy additional transfer in advance, then its $0.10 per GB |
| 15:44 | <propercoil> | JshWright yes, for example include ('xmldata.xml') that's it |
| 15:45 | <propercoil> | or include ('map.html') |

| 15:53 | <@pparadis> | huh? |
| 15:53 | <Bartzy> | meaning buying a linode when I only need bandwidth |
| 15:53 | <@Praefectus> | $0.10 per GB is expensive? |
| 15:53 | <Bartzy> | Ok you are right :| |
| 15:53 | <JshWright> | it kinda is, actually... |
| 15:53 | <@pparadis> | Bartzy: how do you figure that? |
| 15:54 | <Captain_Intern> | What's everyones twitter clients? |
| 15:54 | <Bartzy> | JshWright: S3 is more expensive |
| 15:54 | <@Praefectus> | JshWright: for an end user no, it isnt |

| 15:55 | <duckydan> | Captain_Intern: twitter for iPad |
| 15:55 | <Bartzy> | pparadis: So I guess maybe I'll buy another linode 512 and break my services to 2 nodes ? |
| 15:55 | <@pparadis> | Bartzy: you do have to pay for what you use. |
| 15:55 | <@pparadis> | Bartzy: that doesn't make it "expensive" |
| 15:56 | <@pparadis> | Bartzy: that simply means you're doing a lot of transfer, and bits aren't free. |
| 15:56 | <Bartzy> | pparadis: You are correct. Sorry for just saying "expensive"... when you put it in $ per GB, it's indeed not expensive :) |

| 16:08 | <blake> | i always felt like linode was more for enthusiasts while companies were more likely to go with rackspace. any truth to that? do you guys have many companies with servers on linode? |
| 16:09 | <@pparadis> | none at all. |
| 16:09 | <tjfontaine> | haha ok, that's a troll question |
| 16:09 | <@pparadis> | there are a shitload of companies using linode. |
| 16:10 | <@pparadis> | although i think tjfontaine is right. |
| 16:10 | <blake> | it wasn't a troll question, haha |
| 16:10 | <blake> | i swear |
| 16:10 | <robinetd> | rackspace? Super cloud! |
| 16:10 | <ajmitch> | maybe if there were more images of clouds on the front page, more companies would use linode? |
| 16:10 | <robinetd> | We've got clouds, there are no servers \o/ |
| 16:10 | <blake> | i always just felt as though most people on linode were individuals who used their machines to tinker, experiment, and develop on |
| 16:11 | <@pparadis> | blake: that's faulty logic. |
| 16:11 | <blake> | yeah, probably |
| 16:11 | <robinetd> | s/,.*// |
| 16:11 | <@pparadis> | absence of proof is not proof of absence. you're talking about something you don't have any means of measuring. |
| 16:11 | <JshWright> | blake: I run two business ventures on Linodes |
| 16:11 | <JshWright> | worshiproot.com and linsides.com |
| 16:11 | <tjfontaine> | you probably just felt that way because the average iq of a linode customer is higher |
| 16:11 | <ajmitch> | maybe more of the people on IRC are, but you probably don't hear of the vast majority of customers because it Just Works |
| 16:11 | <blake> | pparadis: that's not true, i've gone through linode IP ranges to see what people are hosting before |
| 16:11 | <blake> | and it's lots of personal sites and stuff :-P |
| 16:12 | <tjfontaine> | pparadis: if you have a public ip you must host websites! |
| 16:12 | <@pparadis> | blake: really, when was that? because i'm straight up telling you i'm aware of a very large number of businesses using linode. |
| 16:12 | <blake> | few years ago |
| 16:12 | <@pparadis> | also, tjfontaine once again |
| 16:12 | <AviMarcus> | I'm hosting a VoIP server on linode, I sell voip services. So that's at least one business ;) |
| 16:12 | <@pparadis> | blake: our IP space is, um, let's just say appreciably larger now... |

| 16:13 | <@pparadis> | the simple fact is that you're really not going to see a whole lot of admins from notable companies hanging out in #linode, at least not ones who ack who they actually work for. |
| 16:14 | <blake> | AviMarcus: can you show me your voip company website? |
| 16:14 | <AviMarcus> | heh it's kinda crummy. getbestfone.com |
| 16:16 | <@pparadis> | blake: to give you another example, i was a linode customer for 5 years before working here, and i personally set up a lot of companies' stuff on linodes back then. in any event, it's all rather pointless to discuss, since i can't talk about who uses us :) |
| 16:16 | <blake> | pparadis: household name companies, though? |
| 16:16 | <@pparadis> | blake: yes, you would definitely recognize them. |

| 16:17 | <blake> | i have an AWS account, but i find EC2 far too confusing |

| 16:42 | <sirpengi> | so you're running an MTA on your linode and you'd like it to receive messages? |
| 16:42 | <AviMarcus> | czr2, I'm not sure you need to find your mx. I think you need to learn about sys admin.. |

| 16:42 | <czr2> | well i setuped the citadel |

| 16:54 | <czr2> | haha yeah totally, or else i wound't have been able to setup up a rails app in two day |
| 16:55 | <czr2> | it is just that i am not able to find links for receving inbound emails |
| 16:55 | <czr2> | with citadel |
| 16:55 | <czr2> | i didn't wanted to use postfix |
| 16:55 | <lamerson1> | I've found the API doucmentation for tieig into Linode, is there any documentation about how linsode was designed? The backend? |
| 16:55 | <lamerson1> | This is a really really impressive project |
| 16:55 | <czr2> | by broken i mean they don't work |
| 16:55 | <@pparadis> | czr2: i used to recommend citadel for beginners. i don't anymore, since it's largely turned into a pile of crap. |
| 16:56 | <czr2> | for example this one MX records |
| 16:56 | <@pparadis> | http://library.linode.com/email/citadel/debian-5-lenny |
| 16:56 | <@pparadis> | works for me. |
| 16:56 | <czr2> | my bad for example this one http://bitl.in/2o4qu |
| 16:56 | <czr2> | whiwas mentioned earlier |
| 16:56 | <@pparadis> | that is a send-only configuration. |
| 16:56 | <@pparadis> | that link also works. |
| 16:57 | <czr2> | ik I said i have citadel working |
| 16:57 | <czr2> | and been able to send email |
| 16:57 | <czr2> | it is the receving emails |
| 16:57 | <czr2> | is where i am having problems |
| 16:58 | <@pparadis> | i'm trying to get you to explain what this means: "16:51 < czr2> all guide links are broken" |
| 16:58 | <@pparadis> | but honestly, i've completely stopped recommending citadel. |
| 16:58 | <@pparadis> | was there a reason you didn't want to use postfix? |
| 16:58 | <@pparadis> | it's enormously popular, and for good reason. |
| 16:59 | <czr2> | ohh my bad the htree links mentioned ealier were broken not all the guide links |
| 16:59 | <czr2> | they are working fine and well documented |
| 16:59 | <czr2> | my rails app will be hitting about 400MB of ram |
| 16:59 | <czr2> | most of the time |
| 16:59 | <dominikh> | per worker? |
| 16:59 | <czr2> | so i figured not to stress it with postfix |

| 17:00 | <czr2> | but on doc it says it is full fledged |
| 17:00 | <@pparadis> | ... |
| 17:00 | <czr2> | sytem so i figured all ai nnedd |
| 17:00 | <czr2> | need issend and recive emails |
| 17:00 | <@pparadis> | how did you interpret that to mean anything but "sends and receives email?" |

| 20:51 | <amitz> | lukus: when did you first activate your backup service? when was the last new deployment of your linode? |
| 20:51 | <lukus> | the linode has been running for a good few months |
| 20:51 | <lukus> | I just upgraded it |
| 20:51 | <lukus> | took a snapshot |

| 20:52 | <lukus> | backup's been on from the start |
| 20:52 | <amitz> | basically as slow/fast as your typical differential backup. |
| 20:52 | <Ovron> | what is the status of the back, "needsPostProcessing" or something? |
| 20:52 | <Ovron> | backup * |
| 20:52 | <lukus> | nope |
| 20:52 | <lukus> | it's complete |
| 20:53 | <lukus> | 'successful' |
| 20:53 | <lukus> | but I'd like to expand the space before I sleep |
| 20:53 | <lukus> | and before my clients wake up |
| 20:53 | <amitz> | can you try again? |
| 20:53 | <lukus> | yep |
| 20:53 | <Ovron> | perhaps they wait a bit with releasing the LVM snapshot (which is how I presume they do backups). We can't really answer that. :) |
| 20:53 | <Ovron> | releasing = destroying |
| 20:54 | <lukus> | I don't want to destroy anything tho |
| 20:54 | <lukus> | ;( |
| 20:54 | <lukus> | that's the stuff of nightmares |
| 20:55 | <Ovron> | (it wouldn't destroy anything of importance to you, just an intermediate step in the backup process) |
| 20:56 | <lukus> | I took the snapshot for a reason though |
| 20:56 | <lukus> | (eg. incase this bit goes wrong ;) |
| 20:56 | <Ovron> | Yes, it is a different snapshot. Sorry if I have confused you. Don't worry, your snapshot won't be deleted. ;) |

| 22:10 | <mwalling> | HUH? |
| 22:10 | <@pparadis> | user1690: http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/backups/ |
| 22:10 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: it should restore the entire disk |
| 22:10 | <@Perihelion> | I have a migraine so no drinking |
| 22:10 | <@Perihelion> | I'm only on the computer because it doesn't matter what I do at this point :P |
| 22:10 | <@pparadis> | Perihelion: you need more serious meds, like heavy tranquilizers for example. |
| 22:11 | <user1690> | true that is what i though but i get - not enough free space -- |
| 22:11 | <@Perihelion> | Doesn't halp |
| 22:11 | <user1690> | for chosing a nsapshot to restore |
| 22:11 | <@pparadis> | "If you do not have enough space on any particular Linode, you may resize your disk images, delete older disk images, or add additional disk space via the "Extras" tab in the Linode Manager." |
| 22:11 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: you'll need to create enough free space to restore the entire disk |
| 22:11 | <@pparadis> | also: "You'll be presented with a "details" screen, which will allow you to either select an existing Linode to restore the backup to, or add a new Linode." |
| 22:11 | <user1690> | so my partition was entire disk |
| 22:11 | <@pparadis> | user1690: did you read everything in that library guide? |
| 22:11 | <user1690> | so was the backup? |
| 22:12 | <user1690> | well that sucks that means i have to nuke the disk first |
| 22:12 | <user1690> | and then restore tha backup |
| 22:12 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: or resize it, or add another linode, or add more disk space temporarily |
| 22:13 | <@pparadis> | unless your disk's filesystem was actually full, the backup won't use the entire amount of space you had allocated to it. however, if you are already using all your space, you can resize the existing disk image or restore to another linode, as appropriate. |
| 22:13 | <@pparadis> | user1690: again, did you read that guide? |
| 22:13 | <user1690> | reading it |

| 22:17 | <user1690> | so i read the guid now the question is my disk size was 16gb (resized to full capacity ) so the restore image says not enough space. So In order to restore right away i don't see any option that you guys suggested earlier |
| 22:17 | <user1690> | as in add more space temporarily |
| 22:18 | <user1690> | is that right? |
| 22:18 | <@pparadis> | user1690: do you not know how to resize a disk image? |
| 22:18 | <@pparadis> | user1690: http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/manager/managing-disk-images |
| 22:18 | <user1690> | i did ended up using 14 gb of it |
| 22:18 | <user1690> | so i don't see any point in restoring it |
| 22:18 | <user1690> | i mean resizing it |
| 22:19 | <@pparadis> | if you're actually using 14 GB out of it, then you can either add extra disk space from the "extras" tab, or you can restore to another linode, get the files you want from that, then cancel the temporary linode. |
| 22:19 | <HoopyCat> | i usually go the temporary-linode route, since it doesn't involve any interruption to the "permanent" linode |
| 22:21 | <user1690> | what u mean by temporary u mean build rebuild another one right? |
| 22:22 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: click "add a linode", choose "Linode 512", month-to-month, continue, pick the same datacenter as your current one, then skip the "deploy a linux distribution" step and go back to the backup screen on the other linode |
| 22:22 | <@pparadis> | user1690: what do you see here? http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/backups/images/linode-backups-06-restore-details-small.png |
| 22:23 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: you'll then have a linode with ~16 GB of unallocated/free space and ought to be able to restore at that |

| 22:33 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: did you restore the backup onto a new linode? |
| 22:33 | <JshWright> | handy for doing stuff to your partitions that you can't do when they're mounted |
| 22:34 | <user1690> | not yet that is what i was figuring out as rebuild doesn't show my backedup disk |
| 22:34 | <user1690> | i can't restore as it says |
| 22:34 | <user1690> | not enough disk space |
| 22:35 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: the backup won't appear until it is restored somewhere, and you cannot restore it anywhere until you create unallocated space for it. |
| 22:35 | <@pparadis> | user1690: you have been presented with the two paths to restoring a backup. |
| 22:35 | <@pparadis> | user1690: please choose one. |
| 22:36 | <@pparadis> | technically, three paths, but you indicated you didn't find one acceptable (you didn't want to delete your existing disk image) |
| 22:36 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: the backups are physically separate from your linode, so a specific process is required to restore them; they aren't mountable |
| 22:36 | <HoopyCat> | (and yeah, deleting your existing disk image is a Bad Idea) |
| 22:38 | <@pparadis> | if it were me, i would restore to a new linode and take the $0.67 hit. but maybe that's just me. |

| 22:44 | <jamiedol> | Maybe I just did it a really inefficent way. I mounted S3 with FUSE using the S3FS app, then I turned on Cpanel backups and let them run. They are not tared / compressed. They don't support incrimential if you are tared or compressed. |
| 22:45 | <HoopyCat> | jamiedol: yeah, that's just about the least efficient way to interface with S3 |

| 22:46 | <jamiedol> | The Jungle disk client says they have a good way to handle a lot of small files. And with transfer being free; and no get / put costs, I think it will be cheaper than using amazon. |
| 22:47 | <@pparadis> | why even involve another VPS or provider-based system for this? |
| 22:47 | <jamiedol> | Instead of storing it locally you mean? |

| 22:48 | <jamiedol> | My uplink is only about 768, so to restore 20gb somewhere is days.... |
| 22:48 | <atourino> | ie zombie apocalyps |
| 22:48 | <@pparadis> | but you have linode backups enabled, right? |
| 22:48 | <atourino> | apocalypse |
| 22:48 | <jamiedol> | Yes. |
| 22:49 | <HoopyCat> | ideally, i'd like to be able to turn everything off here. in fact, i was able to do so once; then, i found a sad-looking dell sitting on the curb during a rainstorm |
| 22:49 | <@pparadis> | so it would take something catastrophic in the first place for you to even need your offsite backups. |
| 22:49 | <jamiedol> | I was just trying to get some backup coverage outside of the Datacenter. I'd be really happy if linode could backup to another DC. |
| 22:49 | -!- | troy [troy@kaylee.y0b.org] has joined #linode |
| 22:49 | <HoopyCat> | also, i gotta have a solution for off-site backups from home to elsewhere, and duplicity+S3 does the job in both places :-) |
| 22:50 | <@pparadis> | something catastrophic happening like that with zero advance warning would likely mean we missed an inbound meteor or something. |
| 22:50 | <jamiedol> | Tornado? |
| 22:50 | <@pparadis> | HoopyCat seems to be on to something. |
| 22:51 | <@pparadis> | tornados won't actually destory most DCs i've ever seen, or even seriously damage them. |
| 22:51 | <HoopyCat> | jamiedol: surprisingly easy to thwart |
| 22:51 | <@pparadis> | destroy, even. |
| 22:51 | <JshWright> | I live close enough to the Newark DC that it's _conceivable_ that a single incident could cause data loss in both locations (granted, that would certainly fall under the "I've got bigger worries, and am gonna be far too busy for the next couple weeks to worry about my data" type of event) |
| 22:51 | <@pparadis> | indeed |
| 22:52 | <atourino> | man... f#ck data. It complicates things... let's go shopping |
| 22:52 | <HoopyCat> | if a single incident causes data loss in newark and JshWright's locale, i'd really like to say that i'd be far too busy for the next couple of weeks... |
| 22:53 | <jamiedol> | Well that is reassuring that you guys are so confident in the security / storm proofing of your DC. Are you able to say if you own the facilities your in or if you are renting building space in a datacenter? |
| 22:53 | <@pparadis> | there's a list of the DCs we colo in somewhere. |
| 22:53 | <JshWright> | or just look at a traceroute for a linode IP |
| 22:54 | <@pparadis> | here we go, it's on the old-n-busted wiki --> http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Network |
| 22:54 | <JshWright> | Newark is NAC's DC in Cedar Knolls |
| 22:54 | <HoopyCat> | but in reality, i'd probably be quite preoccupied with vomiting and diarrhea for some time |
| 22:54 | <jamiedol> | That would make sense, you have to be google these days to build your own DC. |
| 22:54 | <user1690> | guys so if i ended up getting up new linode to restore just in case do-- does it stll have the same IP |
| 22:55 | <@pparadis> | no |
| 22:55 | <HoopyCat> | user1690: no, just the same location. (it would be impossible for it to have the same IP address(*)) |
| 22:55 | <@pparadis> | you restore to the new linode so you can get whatever data you want. |
| 22:55 | <@pparadis> | and transfer it to the old linode. |
| 22:55 | <JshWright> | well, my theory for data loss in Newark and here would be a major hurricane that phyiscally damaged the DC, and was still powerful enough by the time it got here to cause an untimely power outage |
| 22:55 | <HoopyCat> | (*) (yes, i am simplifying it) |
| 22:56 | <@pparadis> | there is no getting around how this has been explained. in other words, there's no getting around the disk space limitation without the methods described, and no magical way to just attach the storage to your existing linode given the acceptable methods outlined. |
| 22:56 | <foreverwondering> | Hurricanes in NJ? |
| 22:56 | <HoopyCat> | JshWright: eh, nuclear strike on NYC is usually the one i worry about. so, i back up everything to northern virginia. |
| 22:57 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 22:57 | <foreverwondering> | lol |
| 22:57 | <jamiedol> | Seriously, you worry about a nuke strike? |
| 22:57 | <@pparadis> | HoopyCat: o_O :) |
| 22:57 | <foreverwondering> | because they'll hit NYC and not DC |
| 22:57 | <@pparadis> | s/not// |
| 22:57 | <JshWright> | I try not to think about how many warheads are aimed at Syracuse... |
| 22:58 | <HoopyCat> | jamiedol: far more likely is a typo, human error, or software/filesystem problem, but it's fun to think about! |
| 22:58 | <Ovron> | largest targets first; not looking good for urmom |
| 22:58 | <@pparadis> | Ovron: she can absorb anything, as evidenced by her track record. |
| 22:58 | <@pparadis> | so it's looking just fine. |
| 22:59 | <JshWright> | I'm sure there are several warheads that are still targetted at this building: http://wikimapia.org/12724050/abandoned-NORAD-S-A-G-E-cube-built-1958 (just in case...) |
| 22:59 | <jamiedol> | You guys should buy one of those old bunkers. Underground, where they used to store the missles. They are selling them to the public now. |
| 23:00 | <@pparadis> | "Hancock AFB was officially closed in 1981." <-- but we know the truth |
| 23:00 | <GLaDOSDan> | Does anyone have any experience with munin? I have the master running on node #1, and it's returning data correctly. But when I look at the html for node #2, there are no plugins. if I check the logs on node #2, munin master is connecting and stuff, #2 is just not reporting any plugins/data to #1 |
| 23:00 | <jamiedol> | http://www.missilebases.com/properties |
| 23:01 | <JshWright> | there was actually an ISP looking at buying the aformentioned building to use as a hardened DC |
| 23:01 | <HoopyCat> | GLaDOSDan: from the master, try "nc whatever.ip.it.is.connecting.to 4949", then when it connects, "list" |
| 23:01 | <GLaDOSDan> | I did that |
| 23:01 | <GLaDOSDan> | it's showing plugins |
| 23:01 | <JshWright> | most of the walls are 8 _feet_ thick |
| 23:01 | <GLaDOSDan> | and I can use fetch too |
| 23:01 | <HoopyCat> | GLaDOSDan: does "config one_of_those_plugins" return properly? |
| 23:01 | <GLaDOSDan> | sec |
| 23:01 | <jamiedol> | It actually sounds like a pretty reasonable use for one of those old facilties. From what I understand there are a lot of them. |

| 23:02 | <HoopyCat> | GLaDOSDan: hmm. well, it oughta be working, then. |
| 23:02 | <jamiedol> | Yea; but as long as you can get fiber there; which these days, you have to be able to buy dark fiber in so many places. |
| 23:02 | <HoopyCat> | JshWright: underground bunkers, not above-ground bunkers :-) |
| 23:03 | <GLaDOSDan> | I uh |
| 23:03 | <GLaDOSDan> | found the problem |
| 23:03 | <GLaDOSDan> | >_< |
| 23:03 | <Peng> | HoopyCat: Maybe he can see the guard shack. |
| 23:03 | <HoopyCat> | jamiedol: http://www.fltg.com/fltgPark.html |
| 23:04 | <JshWright> | HoopyCat: this building might as well be underground |
| 23:04 | <jamiedol> | Hoppycat: Maybe there is a access problem... That site took like 30 seconds to load. |
| 23:04 | <@pparadis> | man, i really want this one --> http://www.missilebases.com/russellkansas |
| 23:05 | <jamiedol> | That one is pretty sweet. Be a really cool office. |
| 23:05 | <HoopyCat> | jamiedol: hmm, works from here. (the site is not hosted in the bunker field, either) |
| 23:06 | <stefanie> | pparadis: no |
| 23:06 | <jamiedol> | HappyCat: Maybe it is Firefox Beta being a spaz. Loaded much faster in Chrome. |
| 23:07 | <@pparadis> | stefanie: yes |
| 23:07 | <stefanie> | then you're going by yourself |
| 23:07 | <HoopyCat> | one of the nice things about leasing racks in someone else's datacenter is that you don't have to operate your own datacenter. plus, you can use their cage monkeys to do your dirty work. |
| 23:08 | <jamiedol> | Googles "server boxes" are pretty cool, have you seen the videos of those? |
| 23:10 | <HoopyCat> | http://www.serverboxes.co.uk/ |
| 23:11 | <HoopyCat> | i've seen so many of those i've got scars from cardboard cuts |
| 23:11 | <pharaun> | best way to identify the device for a given mount-point? parse /etc/fstab? or is there a better way |
| 23:12 | <HoopyCat> | pharaun: i kinda like 'df /path/to/interrogate' as it will work for subdirectories. there's likely a more general way |
| 23:12 | <@pparadis> | pharaun: /etc/mtab ? |
| 23:12 | <HoopyCat> | pharaun: officially, i think you're supposed to use /proc/mounts if you're going to do it yourself, tho |
| 23:12 | <jamiedol> | http://jamiedolan.com/2011/03/07/a-look-inside-googles-data-center/ |
| 23:12 | <pharaun> | pparadis: would that not be the current mounted devices, i want to do it so that if i'm given "/blah/foo" as a mount point, i want to know the device |
| 23:13 | <@pparadis> | oh right then |
| 23:13 | <pharaun> | ie the device that is supposed to be mounted there, i was thinking fstab but that wouldn't do with all of the udev magic going on on newer distro |
| 23:13 | <@pparadis> | /proc/mounts is just gonna give you what's currently mounted, too. |
| 23:14 | <pharaun> | main reason is i'm monitoring /proc/mounts to see if a specific mountpoint is mounted or not before taking action |
| 23:14 | <pharaun> | and i just want to be able to find the device that is "supposed" to be mounted there so it does not go off if i mount say a cdrom there |
| 23:14 | <pharaun> | as a precaution mainly |
| 23:14 | <jamiedol> | Isn't that a sweet setup google has going... |
| 23:14 | <@pparadis> | can you just check to see if anything exist in the mount point before mounting to it? |
| 23:14 | <pharaun> | pparadis: i'm not mounting, i'm just monitoring to see if its mounted or not |
| 23:15 | <@pparadis> | well then, /proc/mounts will tell you that. maybe i still don't understand :/ |
| 23:16 | <pharaun> | pparadis: yeah it will, i guess i'm asking a strange question, basically i want to avoid having to tell the tool --dev /dev/foo --mp /home/foo i would like to be able to just go --mp /home/foo and the tool figure out what the /dev/foo is assigned to /home/foo |
| 23:16 | <pharaun> | made me think fstab because it holds that info but my problem is what about all of the udev fuckery going on these days |
| 23:17 | <@pparadis> | i don't do the udev fuckery thing myself. |
| 23:17 | <pharaun> | its just mainly to make sure the trigger does not go off if something else is mounted there |
| 23:17 | <pharaun> | yeah i don't either |
| 23:17 | <pharaun> | so i was wondering if there was a better way of finding the /dev/* other than parsing /etc/fstab |
| 23:17 | <@pparadis> | the best i can say is to check the contents of the directory first. |
| 23:17 | <pharaun> | hm k |
| 23:17 | <pharaun> | that might work as an additional sanity check |
| 23:18 | <@pparadis> | plus, check return codes from attempting to mount. |
| 23:18 | <HoopyCat> | False |
| 23:18 | <HoopyCat> | oops sorry thought someone was doing a sanity check |
| 23:18 | <HoopyCat> | n/m |
