hey Pici who should I bug in the mozilla team room?
k1l_ 2017-03-08 03:56:16
marking as affected helps to see the impact of the bug.
Pici 2017-03-08 03:56:21
spacebear: no one in particular, they'll see it when they see it.
KaiForce 2017-03-08 03:56:32
I wouldn't bug anyone unless I were paying them
spacebear 2017-03-08 03:56:53
don't think I have a launch pad acc
spacebear 2017-03-08 03:56:58
guess its time to make one
larmet 2017-03-08 04:00:44
@wendico...thanks... will do right now
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:00:54
larmet, I'd create a gist, or as someone earlier posted: dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999

away0: do you have a machine you can remote into the box with?
k1l_ 2017-03-08 04:02:53
larmet: "sudo parted -l"
away0 2017-03-08 04:03:24
I have another machine here if that's what you're asking, still new to this
k1l_ 2017-03-08 04:03:43
larmet: wait, this is inside a vm? are you sure the host is not catching that usb?
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:04:34
larmet, whatever you are inserting is becoming /dev/sdb right according to dmesg, so: fdisk -l /dev/sdb

hey guys, I'm trying to interpret why the oom-killer killed a certain process. It's happened a few times now and I wonder if there's a memory leak somewhere: https://gist.github.com/TvL2386/6dd00e62bf6a1c7afc373df9fc03c226

oopps sorry

wrong channel
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:24:53
purpose: glusterfs server (so oom-killing glusterfsd is painful)
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:26:59
TvL2386: that doesn't sound like my situation at all.. Seems to be a little chatter on the net about it, some of it is old though
wendico 2017-03-08 04:28:18
hello, im getting ready to install on a free partition an os that will install grub but will make my ubuntu unbootable. im scared of this since i dont know how to set up grub only (my ubuntu always looks and set up grub for all my operating systems). what is the easiest way to reinstall grub to boot my 2 old operating systems plus the new one installed? thank you very much.
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:28:51
https://github.com/RightScale-Services-Cookbooks/rsc_gluster/issues/7 will stop it from happening, not sure if that is good idea or not
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:28:51
wendico: if you are nervous about it, I'd image the drive first.
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:29:13
wendico: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
wendico 2017-03-08 04:30:47
Thank you. Im gonna go ahead make an image just in case, any recomended software to do that? can ubuntu do it without a new software? im also reading boot repair link, thank you.
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:31:09
KaiForce, yeah thanks... I also thought about that, however I'm trying to interpret the conditions of the server when it decided killing was needed. I'm hoping the oom logs show how much glusterfsd was using at the moment, how much was free, how much was the process using that was trying to allocate more? Maybe the mkinitramfs which tried to allocate memory was already using more than needed? I also read that the oom-killer can be invoked when there's too muc
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:31:09
h fragmentation? Was that the case here? I don't know... I'm hoping some "oom-killer log guru" is around here :-)
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:31:15
if you have a drive you can duplicate to, dd can do it. else use something like gparted
wendico 2017-03-08 04:31:54
i only have free space on a used external partition, so i can only do an image file. can gparted do it?
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:31:55
wendico: clonezilla is my preferred tool
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:32:24
do you have enough space to clone your whole internal drive to the external drive?
MediocreN 2017-03-08 04:32:43
if so dd will work fine, if not, as Kai said, Clonezilla is a great tool
wendico 2017-03-08 04:32:52
"sudo apt-get install clonezilla" done, reading manual. Thank u very much.
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:37:21
TvL2386: I do something similar with VMs I back up over a slow WAN link to NFS
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:37:30
dd if=/dev/sda bs=1M | pv | gzip > /mydisk.img.gz and get a status display
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:38:20
you could even do: pv /dev/sda | gzip > /mydisk.img.gz
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:38:26
The nice thing about Clonezilla is that it is fs aware and can (in some cases) copy only actual data, ignoring all the unused whether zeroed or not
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:40:07
the biggest drawback to Clonezilla is restoring a large disk to a smaller disk. It can only do that in limited circumstances
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:40:16
well not like dd handles that case any better
KaiForce 2017-03-08 04:40:16
truth
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:40:40
then you're best bet is to take a file backup, good old tar.
TvL2386 2017-03-08 04:41:53
KaiForce, funny thing about disk images is that you can actually mount them to a loop device using losetup and then partprobe (if I remember correctly) to just mount a partition
scottjl 2017-03-08 04:43:12
ya but that doesn't copy them back.
