Also, I love the FreeBSD ports collection (which Gentoo tried to imitate). cd /usr/ports/devel/git; make install will fetch git, build it, and install it, and automatically deal with any dependencies as they arrive.
- Tudor Bosman
Another option is pkg_add -r git which will install a binary package compiled with default options, and resolve dependencies.
- Scott Ludwig
from iPhone
Okay, nested dependencies work just fine until you find a package that depends on TeX. Why does my little storage box need latex and amstex and mkfontdir and dvips and...?
- Tudor Bosman
Because you need PDFs of the documentation, of course!
- Eric Borisch
In many languages, apparently. /usr/ports/print/latex-cjk/scripts/installt1enc.sh arb5sung arb5sung.ttf Bg5 Generating Type 1 subfonts arb5sung from arb5sung.ttf [Bg5 planes: 1-55]:
- Tudor Bosman
This is apparently all caused by updating the freebsd-doc-en package, which regenerates all forms of documentation from scratch.
- Tudor Bosman
One of my disks appears bad, hopefully it's the cable.ad8: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 timed out LBA=766744255
- Tudor Bosman
Yep, RMAing now.
- Tudor Bosman
Two more disks are showing read errors, including the boot disk. This is not good at all. Maybe WD actually qualifies RAID-level drives, and rebrands the crappy ones (with bad sectors which auto-remap) as consumer-level. With auto-remapping turned off, errors start creeping in within days.
- Tudor Bosman
I'll investigate this more, of course, by mounting the bad disks into a different machine and looking at SMART output, but so far it smells of a bad batch of drives.
- Tudor Bosman
How hot are they getting? (It's in the SMART data) ... We had a fan go out on a drive tower (and the 'dead fan' alarm didn't sound -- wonderful) and we smoked at least three drives before figuring out what was going on.
- Eric Borisch
Eric: While trying to stress the disks with a few dd commands running in parallel, I can't get them to heat up above 26 degrees Celsius. I'd say that cooling inside my box works well. The two newly failed disks have 5 UNCorrectable sectors each -- and that's just because the SMART buffer only remembers the last 5 errors.
- Tudor Bosman
Maybe I just got a bad batch, but at this point I would recommend against using WD20EADS drives for anything.
- Tudor Bosman
yeah, the EADS aren't so good. The ABYS series have been super reliable in comparison, but I don't think they go up to that many TB.
- Private Sanjeev
incidentally the drives are physically different (the mechanicals are more vibration-resistant on enterprise drives), so WD doesn't just rebrand flaky drives.
- Private Sanjeev
Any opinions on the new, 4-platter WD RE4 RAID edition drives? They're 2TB, expensive as hell, but there may be deals to be had. Alternatively, the Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB.
- Tudor Bosman
I have a bunch of EADS drives (4x1TB, 4x1.5TB) and I haven't seen any problems. Might just be a bad batch.
- Joe Beda ()
Currently leading the pack: Hitachi 7K2000.
- Tudor Bosman
I only have experience with ABYS and EADS in production :(.
- Private Sanjeev
I have 24 A7K1000s that have been going great for over a year. (Knocks on wood)
- Eric Borisch
Okay, I ordered 5 7K2000s. Let's see how this goes.
- Tudor Bosman
The box is back up with the 5 Hitachi 7K2000 drives. I copied all the data over again, and "zpool scrub" now completes without errors. I'll update this post after 2 or 3 days of burn-in.
- Tudor Bosman
Hint: Read the man page. The "--batch" option to portupgrade is supremely useful. portupgrade -vaP --batch: upgrade all installed FreeBSD packages, prefer to use precompiled packages if available (-P), don't ask questions (use default configuration options).
- Tudor Bosman
A few scrubs later, still zero errors, and normal smartctl output. I now deem the box ready for production use (that is, the main storage device in the Bosman household).
- Tudor Bosman
Does anybody sell a BSD/ZFS raid box that is all ready to go?
- Peng-Toh
For small boxes, you could consider a self-contained box like a MSI Wind PC ($139).
- Scott Ludwig
from iPhone
I mean something that comes with all software (BSD/ZFS) installed, an UI and no "hacking" required. Something for a non-techie.
- Peng-Toh
my EADS results: 2/6 failed so far (free RMA replacement). no data loss though.
- Michael Herf
Tudor: FWIW, random activity is much more stressful (and power consuming = heat producing) than the contiguous reads/writes you get from dd. Try bonnie++ or iozone if you'd like to really hit the system. Glad to hear you're up and running - ZFS is fantastic stuff.
- Eric Borisch
Michael: Yes, I had 3 out of 5 EADS drives fail within a week. I returned all 5 and got Hitachi 7K2000.
- Tudor Bosman
Peng-Toh: There's FreeNAS, http://freenas.org/, but I'd wait until they upgrade to FreeBSD 8, probably in a couple of months (the FreeBSD folks didn't consider ZFS to be production quality until FreeBSD 8.0).

@lelapin: 1, Facebook, not Google. 2, no new features != slow death. First of all, community is independent of the evolution of the technology.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy).

I think we'd all agree that episodes of violent and aggressive behavior are unacceptable, but some folks in this thread have stated that this kind of autism is not a welcome form of diversity, which I'd strongly disagree with. Children without autism can be loud and violent too, after all. Who are we to be unwelcome to an entire class of children who exhibit more of a particular kind of bad behavior? What about all the other behaviors?

I think calling this "welcome diversity" sugarcoats the thing way too much. To give an extreme example, pedophiles have something in their brains that makes them pedophiles and is not curable. They have to live somewhere, but their dysfunction is not "welcome diversity". Likewise, autistic outbursts can be physically dangerous. I have a younger sister with mental and physical...

To clarify, I do believe that autistic people should be welcomed, although most people can't tell the difference between a misbehaving child who should know better and an autistic child who isn't capable of understanding.

- Gabe
I think that normal children behaving in a loud or violent fashion isn't acceptable either. If I see a child break down in a public space, I try to see if the parents are trying to do anything about it, and then I judge.

If I were composing this list 5 years ago, obtaining a PhD would have been right at the top. But since then I've gotten to know a few people who got their PhD's (or tried, in some cases), and it doesn't seem all that awesome anymore. It's just so much work and I've gotten quite lazy over the years.

14) to be a part of the choir during a performance of Beethoven's Symphony no. 9

Grey & White Kitten (Bay Area) Needs Home!! You Can Haz Kitteh!! Here is her story from a friend of a friend: To current and potential cat lovers For some still unexplained reasons one of our male cats showed up on the doorsteps with a kitten. He is not a father, I am quite sure about that, but otherwise it is a total mystery.
Jessie, Jeanette Bosman, John Wang and 27 other people liked this
The kitten was in a bad shape but otherwise healthy. Our cat has been playing mom/dad role since then teaching the kitten all tricks of the trade. Meanwhile others cats in our household are freaking out at the sight of this heavenly picture. Since in our household cat to human ratio is already out of whack big time, I need to find a home for this beautiful, smart creature. The kitten understands Russian and English, has a good grasp of data processing techniques and possesses basic understanding of project management concepts. Because our house is filled with various art pieces, the kitten has learned to appreciate a fine art. I would hate to surrender her to a shelter for uncertain future A bottle of French champagne, or Armenian cognac, or Georgian (Black Sea) wine, or Russian vodka, and a box of the finest Belgian chocolate will accompany the kitten. Any combination of these spirits is possible. No reasonable offer will be refused.
- Rachel Lea Fox
ooooooh! So tempted! If I didn't already have 2 warring cats already...
- vicster is...
Rachel, does this need BUMPING?
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Good question MaryB. Let me check in and find out how things are going with the home hunt!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Seriously - have you had any interest so far? I'm tempted as well, but I don't think you can Fedex a kitteh.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I haven't gotten any interest to my searches but she may have gotten interest elsewhere.
- Rachel Lea Fox
So this little girl has not found a home yet. A few people have expressed interest in her, but no one has said yes yet! Anyone out there interested in this adorable little girl!!???!!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
If we didn't already have 4 kittens and 2 adult cats, I totally would take her in :(
- Tsali, The Native of FF
Would someone please convince Louis that he really doesn't need to breathe very well and twins and I need a kitty. I'm in love with that face!
- Kristine Gray
Louis stop being so selfish! Babbies need kittens! IT IS A FACT!
- Andrizzle Gizzle
I totally understand Tsali! I also can't but would if I could!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Seriously Louis! Breathing is over-rated! And I'm sure that Kristine will let you choose the alcohol that goes with this kitten. So it's win win!!

Pharmaceutical ad winners at the Clio Healthcare Awards. - By Seth Stevenson - Slate Magazine - http://www.slate.com/id...
Soup and Jeanette Bosman liked this
""Imagine," said one attendee of the first-ever Clio Healthcare Awards, held in Manhattan on Friday night, "that you're making a TV commercial for a new Nike sneaker. But you aren't allowed to talk freely about the sneaker. Instead, you have to show a pair of bare feet, and then tell the viewer he can solve his barefoot-ness by asking his doctor about Nike. That's the challenge for most pharmaceutical advertising.""

Uh, I hope Pfizer doesn't use that template for Viagra.
- Jim Norris
"Another silver Clio went to NuvaRing's ad for a contraceptive vaginal insert. Ad Report Card has previously reviewed this ad, in which synchronized swimmers illustrate the wearying repetition of swallowing a birth control pill every day." really? i think this ad is lame. it doesn't strike me as particularly original.

"Using tissue grown in a laboratory, researchers have engineered fully functional replacement penises. The organs were made for rabbits, but the technique may someday be useful for people. “This technology has considerable potential for patients requiring penile construction,” wrote researchers in a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
