I need *lots* of advanced notice for planning purposes, so it can't be hey, can you speak next week. :) On the shell scripting note, I know lots of stuff, not sure if I could give a talk, maybe. But another option is Shell Tips and Tricks where everybody just comes to share those things they know about the shell that are handy. Basically a Nifties Night with a shell focus. (Nifties is an idea stolen from Bill McGonigle, basically a bunch of quick talks by whoever shows up, on whatever topic they think is nifty.) -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

(Why sequentially? ... because I wasn't thinking.) I headed out of town on a business trip for a week, and arrived back in time to watch the job finish. Thankfully it was an in-house project that no one was waiting for. I remember it taking 48 hours to prep a 40 MB (not GB) MFM hard drive for Novell Netware oh so many years ago. We are so spoiled nowadays - generally just pop drives in and go. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: FYI
Tell me about it. I've been running a ddrescue for over a month now trying to recover what can be recovered from a failing 1TB disk. It averages under 200KB/s when it's not getting stuck because the disk is failing. Perhaps I'm doing this wrong -- jmcg On Apr 27, 2013, at 13:36, Ben Scott dragonh...@gmail.com wrote: FYI, running badblocks -w on a 3 terabyte hard disk takes a long time. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Well *I* used to have to store my data on paper tape, and it was snowing and uphill both ways!! I used 80-column punch cards (Digital TOPS-10), 96-column punch cards (IBM System/3) and paper tape (PDP-8/E with a Teletype Model 33 paper tape reader and punch), back in the day. Since it only snowed 2/3 of the year and there was only a slight hill, one-way to the IBM server, you've got me beat. :-) -- Dan Jenkins ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I remember back when the Digital TurboLaser systems came out. At the time they were enormous, and my job was to develop testing tools for them. Management just about fell off their chairs when I told them it would take a *week* (running 24x7) just to create a 1 TB file with random data (as in RND(0)) for testing. And a little under 2 weeks to create 1 million 1K files with random data for testing. - --Bruce On 04/27/2013 08:06 PM, Curt Howland wrote: On Saturday 27 April 2013, Michael ODonnell was heard to say: Even on just a silly little RAID1 mirror on a multi-Tb array I dread seeing the various messages announcing routine maintenance and diagnostic operations as they take forever and don't come for free, resource-wise...

Re: FYI
If the disk is failing, perhaps what it needs in SpinRight to recover the iffy blocks. Not Free, not Open, but good stuff and not expensive. (And it makes possible the Security Now! podcast.) But even that on 1-3TB will take forever. bill ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
