| === asac_ is now known as asac | |
| [06:24] <osmosis> from a kernel driver perspective, what is the preferred RAID card vendor? | |
| [06:33] <pwnguin> osmosis: ive heard many people suggest software RAID | |
| [06:34] <pwnguin> but I also don't use raid (I should change that) | |
| [08:01] <amitk> osmosis: 3ware has always had good support for linux | |
| [08:03] <amitk> osmosis: http://linas.org/linux/raid.html for other vendors and specific model details | |
| [08:29] <alex_joni> osmosis: my personal oppinion is that software RAID is sometimes easier to recover | |
| [08:30] <alex_joni> if your card has problems, it's not possible to recover the RAID on another machine, unless it's a compatible one | |
| [08:30] <alex_joni> and software RAID doesn't have that much performance loss to be an issue | |
| [09:18] <tjaalton> should I blame the kernel for not being able to resume from hibernation? Worked fine before enabling -proposed | |
| [09:18] <tjaalton> hangs after the message "Suspending the terminal(s)" | |
| === mdz_ is now known as mdz | |
| === pgraner_ is now known as pgraner | |
| [19:38] <newz2000> when running virtualbox 1.6 my computer freezes up and the caps lock key blinks. Is there a way I can get any diagnostic information so I can file a bug report with the vendor? | |
| [20:41] <rtg__> soren: ^^ | |
| === emgent_ is now known as emgent | |
| [21:06] <soren> newz2000: Do you have vmware installed, too? | |
| [21:06] <soren> by any chance? | |
| [21:06] <newz2000> no | |
| [21:06] <soren> Hm... Kvm, then? | |
| [21:06] <newz2000> yes | |
| [21:06] <soren> Ah. | |
| [21:07] <soren> That's likely your problem. | |
| [21:07] <newz2000> :-( I can't use them both? Oh bummer. | |
| [21:07] <soren> Not at the same time. | |
| [21:07] <soren> Try unloading the kvm modules (sudo /etc/init.d/kvm stop) and try again. | |
| [21:08] <newz2000> ok, I have to wait until I have finished my current work because I can't handle a hard lock at the moment | |
| [21:08] <newz2000> this is a new problem with virtualbox 1.6 (1.5 worked fine) | |
| [21:08] <soren> The various modules who use the virtualisation extensions in the CPU's have not agreen on a locking mechanism yet, and things go boom if more than one thing tries to use them at the same time. | |
| [21:08] <soren> newz2000: Well, it's a *possible* cause. It might be something completely different. | |
| [21:09] <newz2000> ok, I'll test after a bit | |
| [21:40] <dupondje> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/235889 plz check :) | |
| [21:45] <ceekay> anyone able to clue me in / point me to docs regarding kernel crash dumps at present and possibly where they were as of 7.04? I see it was accepted for hardy on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/linux-kernel-crash-dump , but the status does not seem to indicate that it was completed | |
| [21:52] <jepler> ceekay: I'd also love to know more about this | |
| [22:10] <emgent> heya | |
| [22:11] <rtg__> Ng: saw your comment about e1000 EEPROM. Can you reproduce the problem reliably so that if I apply a patch you can tell that I fixed something? | |
| [22:16] <Ng> rtg__: the machine in particular showing the problem is silbs' laptop, so while we do have a reliable testcase, we probably shouldn't interrupt her too much ;) | |
| [22:17] <rtg__> Ng: well, if you'll work with her as she has time, I'll apply the patch in my PPA version. I'll get it done later this evening since she's already left. | |
| [22:19] <Ng> rtg__: ok, I can probably get on it during lunch or so | |
| [22:21] <rtg__> Ng: ok, I'll add a comment to the bug report when its ready. I'm out for a bit... | |
| [22:23] <ceekay> jepler: from what i've seen BenC 's footprints seem to show up in a few places (that link above as well as the grub changelog mentioning something about "we're no longer using kdump kernels") so i suspect he might have an understanding of what's going on/where things have been | |
| [22:51] <BenC> No, we're still using kdump kernels | |
| [22:51] <BenC> just that we are using a different method of loading them that the old menu.lst grub thing I had originally | |
| [23:18] <ceekay> BenC: any documentation out there that i could use to see where things are/were? | |
