As smooth as the change might have appeared to the those of us using nekochan, I'm sure it involved a significant amount of planning and effort to implement. Thanks for all the hard work!


Yep; it took about a week - most of it in configuration details. The IRC server was a newer version for example, so I had to translate the old, incompatible configuration file into the new format.

So, are there plans for a VPro in Wadatsumi's immediate future? :D


Maybe not immediate, but yeah - now I can play around with that hardware and have some fun with it :)

Any chance for a reupload? I neglected to check /incoming before the server move.

No more dull roar from the spare bedroom; it's eerily quiet around here :)

When all is said and done, if the performance and end-user experience hadn't been there I wouldn't have gone through with it. I throughly tested everything beforehand to ensure it would be a smooth and seamless transition :)

I'd forgotten about this post, but I did recently enable AHCI under 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate on my Mac Pro for Blu-ray support. The process wasn't quite as involved though - I followed the guide here:

hrm... i downloaded macports, and it seems to be going ahead based on that rather than darwin ports.
i forgot to mention this is a snow leopard 10.6.2. i'll be doing the mini with leopard 10.5.8 if it makes sense after this experiment. the mini is the real platform.


I've had good luck with macports, as far as I'm aware darwin ports has been discontinued/deprecated.

For many years I used the 'fink' package manager for this sort of thing (it's similar in concept) but ultimately found macports to have fewer gotchas.

:lol:

Baidu/Google aside, you posted the traceroute issue right after the system had come back up from a reboot (down for a minute or two for a brief config test). Hopefully it was due to that :)

If this is still going on I can try updating the cookie domain from "forums.nekochan.net" to ".nekochan.net". Only problem with this is everyone will need to delete their old "forums.nekochan.net" cookies afterwards to prevent login loops on every browser and OS.

Go in to your profile and set "Summer Time/DST is in effect: No" (you currently have it set to "Yes"; I checked).

No, there's no automatic setting for it - you have to set that option manually whenever you have a local time change. phpBB3 would need to expand time zone support beyond simple GMT+/-X (weird stuff like MST in Arizona would need to be considered) in order to provide that level of control.

I expect mine on Thursday according to the tracking info. I'm looking forward to getting everything up and running sometime that evening; shouldn't take long.

Same here, but I'm keeping the clutter down by just swapping the D945GCLF for the D510MO. As long as it works, I'll pass the D945GCLF board and RAM on to someone else.

Thanks! I'll post a separate topic on the D510MO once I get it running. I'll try and remember to take some photos while I'm at it.

That XP 2400+ is definitely a good target for replacement with something like this - you'll save on electricity, keep the temps down in the room and gain the ability to run a 64-bit OS.

It's the only MyISAM table I'm still using; I moved nearly everything to InnoDB years ago to prevent splats like that.

That table may have been marked as crashed before the server move - there was a power outage a couple weeks ago that dropped the O350 on its butt (another advantage of a smaller system is I can keep it up on a UPS nearly indefinitely). If it happens again for some reason I'll see about moving that table to InnoDB as well.

Edit: Bummer. According to the MediaWiki docs, the searchindex has to be MyISAM. Guess that's why I left it that way :)

Interestingly, I found this via Google:

Quote:
TODO: MediaWiki’s MySQL search backend
Some problems and solutions…

...

Problem 2: The table crashes sometimes

People often get mystified when the searchindex table is marked crashed.

Catch the error: try a REPAIR TABLE transparently, and display a friendlier error if that fails.

...


... this is apparently a known issue.

Not a problem! I wouldn't worry about it too much - the searchindex is a throw-away table in that it can be regenerated from scratch in just a few seconds using the 'rebuildall' script. It's not critical by any means.

Okay, I've split the D510MO discussion off from the previous thread instead of starting a new topic.

My D510MO board arrived on Thursday and I was able to get it up and running that evening.

The swap out was fairly painless, though I did run into a problem with my existing Micro-ATX power supply only supporting 20-pins rather than the 24-pins required for the D510MO. A quick dash to the local Fry's Electronics remedied that particular issue. On the software side, I had to edit the root mount in /etc/fstab (edit: not necessary if using UFS device labels) and adjust the system clock (was approximately 24-hours ahead out of the box). FreeBSD had no issues with the hardware and continues to work just fine with the generic amd64 kernel.

Here's the FreeBSD 'dmesg' output from the D510MO:

Sure, it's an Apex MI-100 case:

Very nice! Hopefully it wasn't raining too hard when you were getting the 24pin converter.

It was coming down pretty good a the time :) Fortunately I didn't encounter any accidents during the trip.

I can't quite see from the pic but the HDdrive [750GB] is under the DVD, I assume the case has just one drive bracket.

It has two; there's also a side-mounted 3.5" bracket. You can see the screw holes for it on the top pic on the side closest to the camera and in the second pic, on the left. If you were to forgo the DVD you could easily mount 3 hard drives in the case, though the D510MO only has two SATA ports on board. I suppose you could find something to fit in the PCI slot to make up for that.

Also the only fan is in the power supply as far as I can tell, what do you think of the stock power supply from that APEX MI-100 case?

This is the same case my parents were using for the original Atom Hackintosh; the original power supply blew up on me after 48 hours or so. I wound up replacing it with a locally sourced supply out of Bend, Oregon which was kind of an adventure in itself. Reading through recent comments on NewEgg it doesn't look like power supply problems are too common though.

I didn't check but is it still a Realtek LAN card on-board? I had to drop a Intel PRO1000/MT in mine for network stability

It has Realtek gigabit on board. I hadn't encountered any stability issues with the 100mbit Realtek on the previous board, and I have the same gigabit chipset rev as this on my i7 daily driver.

Talking of saving money on electricity bills, I just rebuilt my home server from dual AMD Athlon MP 2800+'s that I've had for years, to a single high-efficiency Athlon X3 400e (unlocked from 3 to 4-cores; detects and works correctly as an X4 6400e). The MP's are 65w TDP each , and the X3 is 45w TDP, total . I also swapped from 8 x 7200rpm 500GB and 4 x 7200rpm 320GB SATA drives to 5 new Samsung Eco 1.5TB drives.

I run the server from a 700VA APC ups... previously it ran from two 650w power supplies (one for the board and 4x320GB drives, the other for the 8x500GB drives) it would light up all 5 of it's power-useage-level led's on boot-up of the server, and settle at 3-4 led's during running. The same ups now momentarily flashes a single led on power up, and shows no led's during normal running! I'm amazed at the power requirements of the new setup and how much cooler the whole thing runs (I've been able to turn off the majority of cooling fans and run the rest of them at 5-7v, instead of 12v).

Sounds like a fantastic setup!

It sure is nice that all this new hardware is available with decent performance that doesn't nuke the UPS, superheat the room, assail with noise and swamp the power bill. It will be interesting to see the bill in February; I'm expecting the system will pay for itself quite rapidly.

Now we're all excited about running servers on an Atom ? I agree, it is cool, but why did SGI have to go tits-up then ?

Because it's not just the speed we're looking at here - it's the power requirement. SGI never offered systems that ran on a handful of watts.

I can't help but think that more foresight on management's part would have found this niche years ago. Intel didn't want to do this - they like selling the big $$ products. This is something driven by real demand, just like the netbooks. We're back to the dead horse but this move to Atoms ? It's neat. And it's exactly what Alex Cousein was pushing in 1998. This could have been MIPS.

Yep. They started to look at that before their latest bankruptcy - the SGI Molecule was a supercomputing design based on Atom 330 CPUs:

Don't know - hopefully something good though.

Amazing to say the least.


Very nice! If he doesn't have a job in the industry yet, that certainly would make for a killer demo reel :)

I've updated the dmesg info in my previous post. This evening I enabled AHCI support and switched over to UFS ID labels, so I no longer need to edit /etc/fstab if the boot device name changes.

hamei has stale CSS - needs to force refresh or clear the cache :)

The update is due to moving to Movable Type 5; I didn't do much more than that. Thanks though :)

Ack, I was at Nijiya last weekend buying drinks and snacks and completely forgot to check for this stuff. Sorry about that!
