(Quote) Want to change this to PM you instead to comply with no-spam rules?
-
(Quote) Well... btrfs has a lot of features, but I am unlikely to ever use every feature of it. The question then is how much should I pay for features I don't use? Ideally, copy-on-write should only affect performance if I actually use it for some …

Just created an XFS volume: lvcreate -L 64G -n xfs M247-X10E-9N-vgmkdir /mnt/xfsapt-get install xfsprogsmkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/M247--X10E--9N--vg-xfs and added it to /etc/fstab (mounted on /mnt/xfs)

(Quote) Is there a description somewhere how the YABS IOPS tests work? (in terms of files created, operations done on those files, ...) (Quote) I guess, and then read up on what fio actually does. (Quote) Maybe should also try with XFS then?
-
(Quote) BTW, quite a big difference between Vienna and Amsterdam.

@bin456789 is there somewhere a high-level description of how the script works?

Announcing NetBSD 10.1
-
(Quote) I have now already made a NetBSD 10.1 image (@linveo ) as 10.1 binaries started appearing this morning.
-
(Quote) I have no idea what that does (actually https://www.cheervision.co/ipinfo/tools/ ) - the IP address is completely wrong (wrong continent) and so is the latency info.
-
(Quote) It's not even in HEAD. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be much interest in this one (even tried pointing out on the mailing list that another VPS provider is also affected).
-
NetBSD 10.1 seems to be just around the corner
-
(Quote) Not all blacklists are only about SMTP (and email spam), but some of them also cover other undesirable behaviour from a particular IP.
-
(Quote) So, "Free VPS trial for 1 month" is not considered free, but "Free VPS for 1 month" is? Could this be clarified where the line between "free" and "not free" is? I don't think I am the only one confuse…
-
(Quote) Maybe the value could be that this fine server is not on any blacklist so far (Quote) There is even a Debian package, but why does the README not recommend using that?
-
(Quote) Presumably, wireshark can be built without the GUI (which is what the OpenWRT build does - so you only get TShark there).
-
(Quote) No, I am patching the resize_root script when building the NetBSD image: sed -i -e 's,\[ "$opt" = "log" \],[ "$( dumpfs -s / | fgrep "wapbl version " | cut -f1 )" != "wapbl version 0x0" ],' …
-
(Quote) Ahh no, you probably got that resize_root script from NetBSD HEAD when you updated NetBSD.
-
(Quote) Oh... that's not good. That version of the script is a bit older than I thought (I though you already had the version that did the check via dumpfs instead of the flag in /etc/fstab) That means you'll have to do the resize command in the sh…
-
(Quote) Some of the output from startup scripts might end up in /var/log/messages, but I don't think this one does (that particular script uses # KEYWORD: interactive, so the output doesn't get redirected to the syslog processor). (Quote) The kerne…
-
I think I am actually already done with my changes. Here is what I did: * Log into the serverforge portal - this has some rescue options, but I couldn't really figure out what those would do * From the serverforge portal then log into the Console (…
-
(Quote) Alternative approach: * reboot into single user mode * tunefs -l 0 /dev/dk2 * reboot, again into single user mode * mount -u /dev/dk2 / * mount -ru /dev/dk2 / * exit
-
(Quote) Ok... while it seemed to work with NetBSD 10.0 for me, it actually left the old journal unconnected on the filesystem, so that's not too good. You might want to do a fsck_ffs -f /dev/dk2 in single user mode now.
-
@Not_Oles those kernel messages don't look like they should be expected (maybe that's a change with NetBSD HEAD?) BTW, Not resizing $rootmp: logging unsupported should be the message you are seeing (and the tunefs, re-mount was supposed to disable …
-
(Quote) And now that I have figured out the exact commands of how to do it, I could probably even integrate that into the resize_root script.
-
(Quote) This should work: * reboot into single user mode * tunefs -l 0 /dev/dk2 * mount -ruo reload /dev/dk2 / * reboot (this should then resize the filesystem, and trigger another reboot) in between these commands you can check with dumpfs -s / t…
-
(Quote) So the main issue is that resize_ffs doesn't really handle the filesystem log, so resizing such a filesystem is disabled in my boot scripts. In some cases you could run into data corruption (although that would be with an out-of-filesystem l…
-
(Quote) Thanks, I'll try to mainly work on it from around 16:00 UTC on Saturday to 23:00 UTC (but will hopefully be a lot shorter).
-
(Quote) well... (Quote) sounds a bit like there will always be some reason to kick users out. What if I feel offended by your repeated questions about CPU usage policies?
-
(Quote) Such a shame.
-
(Quote) Aehh, what does that mean then?
-
(Quote) that's a lot but what is VSwap anyway? we are talking about KVM, aren't we?
-
Absolutely fine for me to reboot now @Hosteroid
-
(Quote) I am actually quite curious to try IPMI, but will likely wait for the weekend (or at least not today), so I have enough time to fix it again in case I completely mess it up. I think the plan is still to first just try and shrink the ext4 fi…
-
@Not_Oles what would you think about using btrfs or xfs for /home partition (or another partition)? As Haiku says in their dev documentation there are reasons not to use ext4: (Quote) Maybe this could be a good opportunity to learn something new a…

Installed a few more dev packages: sudo apt-get install nasm texinfo gawk unzip zip libzstd-dev xorriso gcc-multilib ohh... and jed (can't have a machine without jed) sudo apt-get install jed

Thanks so much. Just did some basic setup tasks to add a user account and generate a few more locales, i.e. adduser cmeerwadduser cmeerw sudodpkg-reconfigure locales and selected these additional locales: de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8en_GB.…

Seems pretty quiet around here... so maybe there is a chance for me to get an account on this fine server? While I do currently have sufficient VPS capacity for most stuff, I don't really like to run long compile jobs on one of these VPSes - and as…
