Ideas for Sept Meeting?
by Tim Keller Aug. 28, 2015

Aug. 28, 2015

Hey Gang! I know kids are going back to school, etc and the summer is winding down... but WLUG isn't! So in that vein, I know many of us have STEAM/STEM oriented kids. I was wondering how interested people would be in doing a round table / demo regarding: Kids oriented programming, circuits, robotics, etc. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

ZFS Fun!
by Tim Keller July 8, 2015

July 8, 2015

During my talk, I spoke briefly about upgrading one of my machines from 3TB disks to 4TB disks. Here's a "zfs status" output (obviously with some critical details scrubbed) This is a raid 60 (4, 8 disk raid 6's). I'm replacing 4 disks, one from each of the strip sets. What I captured this output I'd just put in the fourth disk. So that 252h is now down to 15h, and likely soon it'll be even lower. Obviously, I/O load on the subsystem will cause this to stretch out. Note the "New Disk" labels were added for emphasis. bash-4.2# zpool status XXXXXX pool: XXXXXXX state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered. The pool will continue to function, possibly in a degraded state. action: Wait for the resilver to complete. scan: resilver in progress since Wed Jul 8 10:30:22 2015 945M scanned out of 11.9T at 13.7M/s, 252h54m to go 945M scanned out of 11.9T at 13.7M/s, 252h54m to go 110M resilvered, 0.01% done config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM XXXXX DEGRADED 0 0 0 raidz2-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C500637AADD3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 replacing-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064E9441Fd0 FAULTED 1 166 0 too many errors c3t5000C500637875EBd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 (resilvering) <---- New Disk c3t5000C5004DFE165Ad0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E0F3A80d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E1B6EE1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E23870Bd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2AC08Fd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2AE946d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C500637879E7d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 replacing-1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2B1B22d0 FAULTED 139 222 0 too many errors c3t5000C500637ACF67d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 (resilvering) <------ New Disk c3t5000C5004E2BE74Dd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2BEA7Fd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2C0B84d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2C5397d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D0C39d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D1F13d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-2 DEGRADED 0 0 0 replacing-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D48F6d0 UNAVAIL 0 4 0 cannot open c3t5000C500637933B3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 (resilvering) <----- New Disk c3t5000C5004E2D58DAd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D0821d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D3220d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E2D3749d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5006A581C22d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E25DFFFd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004E129273d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz2-3 DEGRADED 0 0 0 replacing-0 DEGRADED 0 0 0 c3t5000C5006A582FE8d0 FAULTED 146 130 0 too many errors c3t5000C50063747E77d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 (resilvering) <----- New Disk c3t5000C50064D9AB36d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064D98E37d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064DF7F04d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064DFAE39d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064E3CBE0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C50064E401FEd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c3t5000C5004DE878BAd0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors bash-4.2# Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Flat screen monitor 19" needs fixit; free to good home
by E Johnson June 28, 2015

June 28, 2015

The power went out here twice today. After the second event, monitor seems to have died. This is an Acer monitor, several years old. Black(ish) bezel; not glossy. Flat screen, I think 19" diagonal. Has been a very nice reliable monitor during its working life. Has choice of DVI input or the older kind of data connection, whatever that used to be. This specific batch of Acer monitors had used a type of capacitor which is known to have a higher-than-usual failure rate, and this is PROBABLY what it needs. Had a twin of this that fryolated same way 2 years ago, and a WLUG member came by & reported shortly after that he got it up & running with just the replacement of bad caps. This monitor has been very steady and reliable until this afternoon, with nice display and no dead pixels, ever. So if you are handy with electronics fixits, capacitors are cheap and you could probably get this working again with only a screwdriver, a soldering iron and a little bit of fiddling. Might be nice for the kid's playroom or the back office, or something. I don't know how nice games look on this monitor, since I don't do gaming. Videos always looked perfectly fine with good color. PM me if you think you want this, since I have to get down under the work table to unplug the power cord & I'm not as spry as I used to be, but can do as long as my knees aren't required to do anything radical before Noon. Pickup after Noon any day, & evenings even sort-of late-ish are okay. I can meet you at the door with this. I'm in Worcester near Elm Park. Rather give this away here than trash it, or Freecycle... first dibs to WLUG. Best wishes, Liz J

June 24, 2015

Announcing (with Tim's blessing/OK) our next meeting is the WLUG summer BBQ at my house ; 540 linden st, boylston ma. <= 20min from worc via 290, .....so many other ways to get here from north/190 ; east/495, etc. Thurs July 9 at or before 7pm. Food details later. BBQ's don't need a topic, but I would love to keep doing+learning a LITTLE with -- freeNAS : my own home server works enough to NOT wanna break it, but smbd isnt working yet ( want to share with win doze) -- other ZFS-able boxes (e.g. my junker/re-loadable PC has pc-bsd with issues, want it to catch ZFS snapshots over ssh for backups ..how hard could that be?) -- chainsaws, musical instruments, tricks+treats for golden retrievers and a cat (just kidding for the meeting, but now you know way too much about me) Maybe someone else wants to bring a tower/PC for abuse or argument e.g. loading something like the above top 2, then studying the result. Or not? What did I forget besides food? -doug also with wife's blessing, if I do all the work.
