Diablo-D3 | schestowitz: like I said earlier | Dec 26 03:59 |
Diablo-D3 | hitler was also person of the year once | Dec 26 03:59 |
Diablo-D3 | not because hes a good guy, but because he was the guy everyone was talking about | Dec 26 03:59 |
Diablo-D3 | person of the year is usually given to someone who _really_ makes the news. | Dec 26 04:00 |
Diablo-D3 | good or bad. | Dec 26 04:00 |
Diablo-D3 | so yes, I think he should have gotten it | Dec 26 04:00 |
Diablo-D3 | his actions changed the course of society. | Dec 26 04:00 |
Diablo-D3 | actually, thanks to him, the federal reserve will probably be severely damaged or killed off entirely | Dec 26 04:00 |
Diablo-D3 | so hes sort of an anti-hero in a way | Dec 26 04:01 |

fewa_ | argg is there no way to buy raw flash | Dec 26 07:45 |
fewa_ | everything sold has this block-device emulation insanity | Dec 26 07:46 |
fewa_ | including the very expensive SSD drives | Dec 26 07:46 |
fewa_ | they make this nice piece of hardware and then they cripple it with a legacy and ill-suited communication stream | Dec 26 07:46 |
oiaohm | Its not insanity can you name any reason for it fewa_ I guess not. | Dec 26 07:55 |
oiaohm | Write levelining in one fewa_ | Dec 26 07:55 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, hardware should not do things that can be better done in software | Dec 26 07:55 |
fewa_ | and that limit the possibilities of the hardware | Dec 26 07:55 |
oiaohm | Write leveling is not ideal done in software. | Dec 26 07:55 |
fewa_ | under that guiess you would say that computers should have the OS soldered on | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | cause without an OS it doesn't work | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | UBIFS does write leveling fine | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | *UBI | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | far better than any block-emulation | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | that obstructs using the hardware | Dec 26 07:56 |
fewa_ | and provides a false interop layer | Dec 26 07:57 |
oiaohm | Smart detection of failures as well. | Dec 26 07:57 |
fewa_ | same reason people supported BIOSes | Dec 26 07:57 |
oiaohm | UBI also has it weaknesses. Its write leveling does not intergrate with diagnostics. | Dec 26 07:58 |
oiaohm | Ie a non changable block due to a failure might be still usable if it contains the right data fewa_ | Dec 26 07:59 |
oiaohm | There are very good reasons for have some of this stuff hardware side fewa_ | Dec 26 08:00 |
fewa_ | but no need to stay with BS block layer | Dec 26 08:00 |
fewa_ | put ware leveling hardware and then still provide a flash interface | Dec 26 08:00 |
fewa_ | running SSD over SATA is stupid | Dec 26 08:00 |
oiaohm | Currently there is not standard to do that fewa_ | Dec 26 08:01 |
fewa_ | should run over PCI-E | Dec 26 08:01 |
fewa_ | or other bus | Dec 26 08:01 |
oiaohm | Some SSD exist for PCI-E connect. | Dec 26 08:01 |
oiaohm | But SSD over Sata does have a valid place with some forms of raid controllers mixjng solid and disk. | Dec 26 08:02 |
oiaohm | There are reasons for the evil fewa_ | Dec 26 08:03 |
oiaohm | Of course lot of people just needing 1 solid state drive there is most likely no advantage to using Sata over a PCI-E interconnect | Dec 26 08:04 |
Diablo-D3 | um | Dec 26 08:11 |
Diablo-D3 | theres usually zero advantage | Dec 26 08:11 |
Diablo-D3 | you know why? | Dec 26 08:11 |
Diablo-D3 | a lot of those cards are faking sata controllers | Dec 26 08:11 |
oiaohm | Depends on the card. | Dec 26 08:16 |
oiaohm | Some fake sata and also provide direct. | Dec 26 08:16 |
oiaohm | Ok fake sata and pata so some OS's can install. | Dec 26 08:17 |
oiaohm | ie windows. | Dec 26 08:17 |
Diablo-D3 | ie ANYTHING | Dec 26 08:18 |
Diablo-D3 | if it requires special drivers at all, basically give up booting an OS on it | Dec 26 08:18 |
Diablo-D3 | but its all really stupid | Dec 26 08:18 |
Diablo-D3 | it doesn't gain you anything | Dec 26 08:18 |
Diablo-D3 | and they cost a lot more per gb than normal SSD | Dec 26 08:19 |
Diablo-D3 | like, for example | Dec 26 08:21 |
Diablo-D3 | many of them have 4x pci-e 1.0 interfaces | Dec 26 08:22 |
Diablo-D3 | that gives you 1gbyte/sec | Dec 26 08:22 |
Diablo-D3 | with a command latency in the same neighborhood of sata/300 | Dec 26 08:23 |
Diablo-D3 | however, a single sata-300 link can max out at 300mbyte/sec | Dec 26 08:24 |
Diablo-D3 | not only that, theres no card shipping that can do 1gbyte/sec | Dec 26 08:24 |
Diablo-D3 | at least no conventional card | Dec 26 08:25 |
Diablo-D3 | like, fusion-io's shit are not conventional, however small | Dec 26 08:26 |
Diablo-D3 | theirs can do 750mbyte/sec | Dec 26 08:27 |
Diablo-D3 | however, they hold 320gb and cost a crapload | Dec 26 08:27 |
Diablo-D3 | for what you pay for that, I can buy 3 conventional 128gb drives in sata formfactor, and end up with more space and the same speed | Dec 26 08:28 |
Diablo-D3 | and not waste a valuable slot | Dec 26 08:28 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, the PCI-E SSDs are SATA raids | Dec 26 08:31 |
fewa_ | how do i correctly format a SD card? | Dec 26 08:32 |
fewa_ | to not get horribly slow speeds due to bad blopck emulation | Dec 26 08:33 |
fewa_ | thats what im griping about | Dec 26 08:33 |
fewa_ | if it was just mtd i could p[ut ubifs on it | Dec 26 08:33 |
fewa_ | and it would be much faster | Dec 26 08:33 |
*ClonaLuiArch (n=ubuntu@79.114.205.245) has left #boycottnovell | Dec 26 08:34 | |
fewa_ | and ubifs uses much smarter caching than any unaware FTL-hard drive FS | Dec 26 08:37 |
fewa_ | combo | Dec 26 08:37 |
fewa_ | having the file system made and aware of flash is much more intelligent | Dec 26 08:37 |

fewa_ | link? | Dec 26 08:54 |
oiaohm | The lwn.net | Dec 26 08:54 |
oiaohm | before | Dec 26 08:54 |
fewa_ | ughhh | Dec 26 08:55 |
fewa_ | I dont see the hardware of NAND flash changing any time soon | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | why cant software deal directly with the hardware? | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | * the OS deal directly with hardware | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | and file systems, or layers like UBI be developed directly for that | Dec 26 08:56 |
oiaohm | That started disappearing with smart in harddrives fewa_ | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | its POSIX that is the standard | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | hard drives are differnt | Dec 26 08:56 |
oiaohm | Ie before smart in harddrives OS were required to find bad sectors. | Dec 26 08:56 |
fewa_ | yes i know | Dec 26 08:57 |
oiaohm | After smart the smart system takes care of it. | Dec 26 08:57 |
fewa_ | I can see reason for that | Dec 26 08:57 |
oiaohm | Problem is designers have kept on expanding that idea until we end up with OSD> | Dec 26 08:57 |
fewa_ | but it could be done cheaper in the OS | Dec 26 08:57 |
fewa_ | but anyways this is about NAND | Dec 26 08:57 |
oiaohm | smart works while OS is booting fewa_ | Dec 26 08:58 |
fewa_ | putting the filesystem in the hardware seems stupid | Dec 26 08:58 |
fewa_ | and its anti-freedom | Dec 26 08:58 |
fewa_ | "The OSD designers decided to offload another task from the host systems: security. " | Dec 26 08:59 |
oiaohm | I don't like the idea but OSD has a better chance of performing well compared to emulating a old school harddrive. | Dec 26 08:59 |
fewa_ | software developers are hiding from Linux | Dec 26 08:59 |
fewa_ | they are trying to find new ways to hide their code | Dec 26 08:59 |
fewa_ | stagnate development | Dec 26 08:59 |
fewa_ | that article isn't about storage devices | Dec 26 09:00 |
oiaohm | OSD also has the option of beening tidier over network compared to block based emulation. | Dec 26 09:00 |
fewa_ | its about databases on a chip | Dec 26 09:00 |
fewa_ | database layer | Dec 26 09:00 |
fewa_ | no reason OSD couldn't be a layer used for network communication of within a filesystem | Dec 26 09:00 |
fewa_ | but making it the "hardware" layer of communication is bad | Dec 26 09:01 |
fewa_ | just a secretive way of hiding code from Linux | Dec 26 09:01 |
fewa_ | and making the electronics more expensive | Dec 26 09:01 |
fewa_ | especially with NAND flash that can be so simple | Dec 26 09:01 |
oiaohm | The block system emulation already hides code from Linux fewa_ | Dec 26 09:01 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, and i am railing against it | Dec 26 09:01 |
fewa_ | NAND flash can be exposed directly | Dec 26 09:02 |
fewa_ | and it works well | Dec 26 09:02 |
fewa_ | why cant it be raw NAND over something like PCI-E | Dec 26 09:02 |
fewa_ | ? | Dec 26 09:02 |
oiaohm | Really it does need something like a smart overlay to detect and remap accordingly. | Dec 26 09:02 |
fewa_ | or UBI over PCI-E | Dec 26 09:02 |
oiaohm | Something like the way 386 does its memory map fewa_ | Dec 26 09:03 |
fewa_ | where the hardware chip provides UBI | Dec 26 09:03 |
oiaohm | So failing areas can be maped out. | Dec 26 09:03 |
fewa_ | but "hardware" should not implament database software | Dec 26 09:03 |
fewa_ | and encryption | Dec 26 09:03 |
oiaohm | harddrives already do encryption. | Dec 26 09:04 |
fewa_ | security has always been the stupidest thing to export | Dec 26 09:04 |
oiaohm | Ok crackable encryption but they do. | Dec 26 09:04 |
fewa_ | ithas been screwed up a incredible amount of times | Dec 26 09:04 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, thats hard drives, not flash drives | Dec 26 09:04 |
oiaohm | There are flash drives on market with inbuilt encryption. | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | and its stupid to have multiple encryption chips all over a computer | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | thats what you get when you put software layers into hardware | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | duplication of processing | Dec 26 09:05 |
oiaohm | What is the main advantage of duplication of processing fewa_ | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | and excessive chips | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, duplication of bugs | Dec 26 09:05 |
fewa_ | and more problems | Dec 26 09:06 |
oiaohm | Main advantage is less bottle necks. | Dec 26 09:06 |
oiaohm | Of course there is a price to pay. | Dec 26 09:06 |
fewa_ | one aes module in a chip can do tons | Dec 26 09:06 |
fewa_ | plenty | Dec 26 09:06 |
oiaohm | Nothing is free. Everything is trading one for another. | Dec 26 09:06 |
fewa_ | for any load | Dec 26 09:06 |
fewa_ | and many storage devices | Dec 26 09:07 |
oiaohm | Pushing everything to one aes chip means all the data to decode has to travel there. | Dec 26 09:07 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, it already is there, in the CPU | Dec 26 09:07 |
oiaohm | What about drive to drive data transfers avoiding cpu fewa_ | Dec 26 09:07 |
fewa_ | they just dont want storage turning into RAM | Dec 26 09:07 |

fewa_ | nand slots on the motherboard | Dec 26 09:09 |
fewa_ | similar form-factor to DDR chips | Dec 26 09:09 |
fewa_ | simple, cheap, straight forward | Dec 26 09:10 |
fewa_ | no excessive software in hardware layers | Dec 26 09:10 |
fewa_ | x86 motherboards could provide a chip so windows could see it as a block device | Dec 26 09:11 |

oiaohm | http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=308&Itemid=60 Seen this puppy fewa_ | Dec 26 09:11 |
oiaohm | If they decides on a card format they could do that with flash as well fewa_ | Dec 26 09:11 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: uh | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | what? | Dec 26 09:12 |
fewa_ | doesn't that seem much more rational? | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | can I have some of those drugs? | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | if I want a cheap flash card that works normally, I use a CF card | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | CF natively does ATA | Dec 26 09:12 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, thats a chip | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | you use a mechanical adapter to plug it into a normal IDE slot | Dec 26 09:12 |
fewa_ | that does that | Dec 26 09:12 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: nope | Dec 26 09:13 |
fewa_ | emulates a block device | Dec 26 09:13 |
Diablo-D3 | CF natively does ATA. | Dec 26 09:13 |
Diablo-D3 | read the spec. | Dec 26 09:13 |
fewa_ | its standard NAND inside | Dec 26 09:13 |
Diablo-D3 | CF natively does ATA. | Dec 26 09:13 |
Diablo-D3 | read the spec. | Dec 26 09:13 |
fewa_ | hmm | Dec 26 09:13 |
oiaohm | Really the big issue with most flash modules is that section breaks you have to replace the whole lot. | Dec 26 09:14 |
Diablo-D3 | Now, you _can_ get adapters that do -> sata | Dec 26 09:14 |
Diablo-D3 | they have a chip... its a normal everyday ide to sata bridge. | Dec 26 09:14 |
fewa_ | but isnt there standard NAND in a CF card? | Dec 26 09:14 |
fewa_ | and then a chip that makes it behave like ATA? | Dec 26 09:14 |
oiaohm | Really I would like to see something like this for flash > http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=308&Itemid=60 | Dec 26 09:15 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, or directly on motherboards | Dec 26 09:15 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: um, it doesnt even fucking matter how it works | Dec 26 09:15 |
fewa_ | currently its soldered into mobile stuff | Dec 26 09:15 |
Diablo-D3 | _all_ cards have some controller in them | Dec 26 09:15 |
fewa_ | they just need a port for it | Dec 26 09:15 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, not raw flash | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | they dont make raw flash cards | Dec 26 09:16 |
fewa_ | xD has hardly anything | Dec 26 09:16 |
fewa_ | no wear leveling, etc | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | xD is dead | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | the only time you still see raw flash in production devices is embedded right on the board. | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | also, jesus fucking christ | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | quit with the ram drive shit | Dec 26 09:16 |
fewa_ | needs a socket | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | its dumb, its retarded, and they've been making stupid shit for years. | Dec 26 09:16 |
fewa_ | thats not me | Dec 26 09:16 |
Diablo-D3 | oh | Dec 26 09:16 |
fewa_ | its oiaohm | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: you suck as well | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | I was saying that flash should have a ram-like form factor | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | and standard slot | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | no, it shouldn't. | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | its a storage device | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | it should _be_ a storage device | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | but its a chip | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | it should act like one. | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | not a hard drive | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | I dont care what the fuck it is | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | it should act like a chip | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | its a storage device | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | we have standards | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | not a moving part device | Dec 26 09:17 |
Diablo-D3 | now, ask me again in 15 years | Dec 26 09:17 |
fewa_ | people are still thinking hard drives | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | Ill give you a different answer | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | its idiotic | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | flash is differn't | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: yes but | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | flash isnt different | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | you can put it on a chip just like ram | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | its still the same shit. | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | hard drives are, underneath, exactly the same | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | and not have all these stupid emulation layers | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | you know why we dont see them that way? | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | they have a very intelligent controller on it | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, but there are so many complications due to the hardware | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: wrong. | Dec 26 09:18 |
fewa_ | NAND is much simpler hardware wise | Dec 26 09:18 |
Diablo-D3 | raw flash is also much harder to use efficiently | Dec 26 09:19 |
fewa_ | vis-a-vis hard drive needs controler, not flash | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | SATA has been designed to be easy to talk to controller hardware | Dec 26 09:19 |
fewa_ | or at least something more streamlined | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | SATA _is_ very streamlined! | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | what the fuck is wrong with the people in this channel. | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | Its amazing. | Dec 26 09:19 |
oiaohm | Really flash still need a controller of some form to maintain leveling. | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | its like Roy emits some sort of RDF. | Dec 26 09:19 |
Diablo-D3 | flash needs some sort of controller as so you can control whats under the controller | Dec 26 09:20 |
Diablo-D3 | they have RAID chips, for example, that do RAID and you'd never know from the host | Dec 26 09:20 |
fewa_ | but not block emulation | Dec 26 09:20 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, oh, i gues you could do mtd over sata | Dec 26 09:20 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: you dont want block emulation | Dec 26 09:20 |
Diablo-D3 | its not efficient | Dec 26 09:20 |
fewa_ | sata not problem, block is | Dec 26 09:20 |
fewa_ | hardware vendors need to provide mtd sata drivers | Dec 26 09:21 |
fewa_ | for ssds | Dec 26 09:21 |
oiaohm | Diablo-D3: also with the ram drive I was more looking at it from a repairable point of view. Flash done in a form of controller + cards. If some thing was wrong in the controller the controller could be replaced. Like what can be done with current harddrives. | Dec 26 09:21 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: devices do not work that way. | Dec 26 09:22 |
fewa_ | oiaohm, yes, nand chips should be like ram | Dec 26 09:22 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: if you wanted that, guess what happens? | Dec 26 09:22 |
Diablo-D3 | your shit costs 5 times more. | Dec 26 09:22 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, true | Dec 26 09:23 |
Diablo-D3 | So, please, stop doing drugs. | Dec 26 09:23 |
fewa_ | endless failover is a drug | Dec 26 09:23 |
fewa_ | just get more machines | Dec 26 09:23 |
oiaohm | Cost vs means to recover data. Cost is also a factor of volume as well Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:23 |
fewa_ | overengineering | Dec 26 09:23 |
fewa_ | but couldn't the controlers handle differnt storage levels? | Dec 26 09:24 |
fewa_ | so why not put nand controler on motherboard and have NAND slots? | Dec 26 09:24 |
Diablo-D3 | =| | Dec 26 09:24 |
fewa_ | just like ram | Dec 26 09:24 |
Diablo-D3 | that is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. | Dec 26 09:24 |
Diablo-D3 | if I wanted RAID, I'd, well, already have RAID like I do now. | Dec 26 09:24 |
oiaohm | RAID is not 100 percent Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:25 |
fewa_ | lol | Dec 26 09:25 |
fewa_ | Diablo-D3, i don't see how that is material | Dec 26 09:25 |
fewa_ | and oiaohm lol, ur falling into your overengineering | Dec 26 09:26 |
oiaohm | Not really. | Dec 26 09:26 |
fewa_ | he didn't say why he wanted RAID 1 | Dec 26 09:26 |
fewa_ | *RAID | Dec 26 09:26 |
fewa_ | and anyways | Dec 26 09:26 |
oiaohm | I have seen the results of power surge caused inside a comptuer. | Dec 26 09:26 |
oiaohm | All controllers on all drives dead. | Dec 26 09:27 |
fewa_ | flash RAID doesn't make sense | Dec 26 09:27 |
oiaohm | Raid is no help. | Dec 26 09:27 |
fewa_ | its not a disk | Dec 26 09:27 |
fewa_ | that was the whole point of RAID | Dec 26 09:27 |
Diablo-D3 | its a device that can fail. | Dec 26 09:27 |
Diablo-D3 | they have the equivalent for RAM on enterprise servers as well | Dec 26 09:27 |
fewa_ | duplication | Dec 26 09:28 |
fewa_ | but not "RAID" | Dec 26 09:28 |
oiaohm | Raid mirror is designed to protect against failure by duplicating. | Dec 26 09:28 |
Diablo-D3 | why automatically ignore other RAID levels? | Dec 26 09:28 |
Diablo-D3 | it sure is troll in here. | Dec 26 09:28 |
fewa_ | RAID 5 is duplication | Dec 26 09:28 |
Diablo-D3 | RAID 5 is not duplication in that sense | Dec 26 09:28 |
fewa_ | not mirroring, but duplication | Dec 26 09:28 |
Diablo-D3 | no, its just parity. | Dec 26 09:29 |
fewa_ | thats a form of duplication | Dec 26 09:29 |
Diablo-D3 | its a form of failure protection. | Dec 26 09:29 |
Diablo-D3 | the parity blocks do not contain any data that exists in the data blocks. | Dec 26 09:29 |
Diablo-D3 | ergo, it is not duplication of any kind | Dec 26 09:29 |
Diablo-D3 | its error correction. | Dec 26 09:30 |
fewa_ | a image negative does notcontain any of the colours of the final picture | Dec 26 09:30 |
oiaohm | Main reason I would like the split between controller and flash higher up. Is in the hope that if something goes bad with power supply the controller wears it and dies but leaves the flash cards recoverable or at least gettable to. | Dec 26 09:31 |
Diablo-D3 | fewa_: yet its the same size of the original. | Dec 26 09:31 |
Diablo-D3 | raid 5 only uses one more disk no matter how many you have in your array. | Dec 26 09:31 |
oiaohm | I have had to deal with USB flash drives with embed in chip controllers when controller has gone nuts it basically game over. | Dec 26 09:32 |
oiaohm | This is not really over enginering is design in the hope of having a sporting chance. | Dec 26 09:33 |
Diablo-D3 | this is why you do not store your data in one location | Dec 26 09:34 |
oiaohm | That is always the plan but when thing go wrong plans don't always happen Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:35 |
Diablo-D3 | Thats the fault of the people who didnt want the data very badly. | Dec 26 09:35 |
oiaohm | I have seen sets of failures lead to data not being able to get away from location before bad happens. | Dec 26 09:36 |
oiaohm | Remember sod law always wins Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:36 |
Diablo-D3 | if you have data realtime streamed to a second location | Dec 26 09:41 |
Diablo-D3 | the likelyhood of irreparable loss happening is low | Dec 26 09:42 |
oiaohm | Last time I saw that screwed was bushfire | Dec 26 09:42 |
oiaohm | Drive repair become kind critical. Data links were taken down before processing stopped. | Dec 26 09:43 |
oiaohm | Mind you most flash drives are not built to live past that either. | Dec 26 09:43 |
oiaohm | Time before that ground cables were ripped up places without sat uplinks were cooked. Then I have seen sats off line due to incomming solar flares. | Dec 26 09:45 |
oiaohm | Basically no matter how you plan to get data off site sod law can get you. Because failure is still possiable Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:46 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: you do realize you can house data storage in fire proof safes, right? | Dec 26 09:47 |
Diablo-D3 | everything nature can do, I really can do better. | Dec 26 09:47 |
Diablo-D3 | you have to start getting into situations where no one gives a fuck about the data anymore because the world is ending | Dec 26 09:47 |
oiaohm | That is as long as the bushfire was not like the past one. Hotter than anyone had ever seen. | Dec 26 09:47 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: yes, you live in a strange weird country | Dec 26 09:48 |
oiaohm | There has been equal in places in the USA as well Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:48 |
Diablo-D3 | see, in the US, we can build completely underground facilities | Dec 26 09:48 |
Diablo-D3 | the land could be burning, and people in the facility would never know | Dec 26 09:48 |
oiaohm | Some exist here. I have seen them have other bad and evil failures. | Dec 26 09:49 |
Diablo-D3 | Im not saying failures wont happen | Dec 26 09:49 |
oiaohm | Like flooding Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:49 |
Diablo-D3 | Im saying all failures can be delt with appropriately. | Dec 26 09:49 |
oiaohm | Under facilities flooded not fun. | Dec 26 09:49 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: flooding is not an issue for a water tight facility. | Dec 26 09:49 |
oiaohm | You hope water tight. | Dec 26 09:49 |
Diablo-D3 | It doesnt need to be perfectly water tight | Dec 26 09:50 |
oiaohm | One here fault line no one knew about decide to move. | Dec 26 09:50 |
Diablo-D3 | it just needs to shut down appropriately. | Dec 26 09:50 |
Diablo-D3 | this takes mere seconds. | Dec 26 09:50 |
oiaohm | So killing the water tight | Dec 26 09:50 |
oiaohm | Water that filled was high salt Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:50 |
Diablo-D3 | so? | Dec 26 09:50 |
oiaohm | Metal eating | Dec 26 09:51 |
Diablo-D3 | you trash all the equipment and start over. | Dec 26 09:51 |
Diablo-D3 | [04:44:17] <Diablo-D3> you trash all the equipment and start over. | Dec 26 09:51 |
oiaohm | Data was still recoveralbe from the drives in that mess. | Dec 26 09:51 |
Diablo-D3 | see, thats where you went wrong oiaohm | Dec 26 09:52 |
tessier | OSD fits well with HTTP | Dec 26 09:52 |
tessier | POSIX filesystems do not. | Dec 26 09:52 |
Diablo-D3 | you assumed data needed to be recovered | Dec 26 09:52 |
Diablo-D3 | instant offsite duplication should prevent the need. | Dec 26 09:52 |
oiaohm | This case it did it was recording data under ground. | Dec 26 09:52 |
oiaohm | Offsite link area was first to flood Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:53 |
oiaohm | Yes Sod law has a bad habit of winning. | Dec 26 09:53 |
oiaohm | If you run into sod law stronger the data storage devices less data loss. | Dec 26 09:54 |
oiaohm | Of course you try to design everything so sod law cannot operate. | Dec 26 09:55 |
*mcwimpy (i=3ef56d8b@gateway/web/freenode/x-eaqmqemcghnsbyuu) has joined #boycottnovell | Dec 26 09:55 | |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: I think you misunderstood. | Dec 26 09:56 |
Diablo-D3 | each site should be simultaniously processing it's job | Dec 26 09:56 |
Diablo-D3 | if one site is down, the other is a duplicate | Dec 26 09:57 |
mcwimpy | i would like to thank the people that brought up this website (and mr. schestowitz in prticular) for the work they do and thus showing us what's going on behind the scenes! | Dec 26 09:57 |
oiaohm | Not possible in all cases. When the site is acquiring data from where it is that is unique to that area. Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:58 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: which doesn't entirely mean anything | Dec 26 09:58 |
Diablo-D3 | its no different than any system | Dec 26 09:59 |
Diablo-D3 | somewhere the data originated, and its unique to that location | Dec 26 09:59 |
Diablo-D3 | no matter what you're doing | Dec 26 09:59 |
Diablo-D3 | soon as you have the data, you duplicate it | Dec 26 09:59 |
oiaohm | If you still can Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 09:59 |
oiaohm | You are making the presume you will be 100 percent able to replcate off. | Dec 26 10:00 |
mcwimpy | schestowitz: i would like to thank the people that brought up this website (and mr. schestowitz in prticular) for the work they do and thus showing us what's going on behind the scenes! | Dec 26 10:00 |
tessier | mcwimpy: On behalf of Mr Shestowitz (currently asleep) you are welcome. | Dec 26 10:01 |
tessier | Schestowitz | Dec 26 10:01 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: if the data was never replicated, it never existed to begin with | Dec 26 10:01 |
Diablo-D3 | you're talking about the false positive storage case | Dec 26 10:02 |
tessier | Diablo-D3: What about the first time it was created? | Dec 26 10:02 |
Diablo-D3 | which, if it does happen, your communication pipeline is designed wrong | Dec 26 10:02 |
tessier | Never replicated but does exist. | Dec 26 10:02 |
Diablo-D3 | tessier: in my line of work, thats the user's desktop at home. | Dec 26 10:02 |
Diablo-D3 | if my system falsely replies the data was stored correctly and it wasn't, then I designed something wrong | Dec 26 10:02 |
oiaohm | I have seen many cases of data not replated to other locations due to commuincation failures Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:02 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: it should have never accepted the store request then | Dec 26 10:03 |
oiaohm | That just has to be timed with something like a direct building hit. | Dec 26 10:03 |
oiaohm | So leading to recovery being required Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:03 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: except that goes into "dont care, end of the world" territory | Dec 26 10:03 |
oiaohm | That is not end of world. | Dec 26 10:04 |
Diablo-D3 | for example | Dec 26 10:04 |
mcwimpy | tessier: thank you :) | Dec 26 10:05 |
Diablo-D3 | all the data storage and communications lines that were under the world trade center | Dec 26 10:05 |
Diablo-D3 | 9/11 happens, no one gives a fuck about some fucking computers, the world has more important things to deal with | Dec 26 10:05 |

oiaohm | I am talking the basics like someone screwing up and bring local exchange done at the same time sat uplinks being replaced. | Dec 26 10:06 |
Diablo-D3 | then the facility shuts down for storage requests. | Dec 26 10:06 |
oiaohm | Then something hitting the servers. | Dec 26 10:06 |
Diablo-D3 | its free to serve, however. | Dec 26 10:06 |
oiaohm | 3 point effect. | Dec 26 10:06 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: see above. | Dec 26 10:07 |
Diablo-D3 | this is basic transactional safety | Dec 26 10:07 |
Diablo-D3 | a store request cannot complete until its already stored in at least some of the remote locations | Dec 26 10:07 |
oiaohm | Not all places can shutdown in those events Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:07 |
oiaohm | Ie can a hosplital stop just because it loses it data links. | Dec 26 10:07 |
Diablo-D3 | since when were doctors robots, oiaohm | Dec 26 10:08 |
oiaohm | Sources of data from the location where you are that must be recored means you cannot just stop. | Dec 26 10:08 |

phIRCe-local | Title: David and Goliath II: i4i Wins (Again) over Microsoft - ConsortiumInfo.org .::. Size~: 44.88 KB | Dec 26 10:08 |
Diablo-D3 | doctors continue to work, even if there is no power | Dec 26 10:09 |
Diablo-D3 | they just have to fill out forms in triplicate the old school way | Dec 26 10:09 |
oiaohm | But the system must stay operating as long as able. Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:09 |
oiaohm | Even if the of site link is lost | Dec 26 10:09 |
Diablo-D3 | Yes, however that sort of data isn't actually important | Dec 26 10:09 |
Diablo-D3 | no one lives or dies if the computer handling financial records goes down | Dec 26 10:10 |
Diablo-D3 | hospital data is after the fact. | Dec 26 10:10 |
mcwimpy | hate to bust you discussion again, but can i make a suggestion to improve the boycottnovell website? | Dec 26 10:12 |
oiaohm | Hospitals depends. Some use the systems for critical care monitoring and the like. That data can be useful for diagnostics for people with itermit problems. | Dec 26 10:12 |
Diablo-D3 | mcwimpy: roy isnt here | Dec 26 10:13 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: those systems are isolated and built for shit. | Dec 26 10:13 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: hospitals do not yet have fully intergrated systems like that | Dec 26 10:13 |
mcwimpy | diablo-d: allright and noone else here works on the website? | Dec 26 10:13 |
Diablo-D3 | mcwimpy: nope, just roy | Dec 26 10:13 |
oiaohm | Diablo-D3: Some here and the usa do Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:13 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: not in that way | Dec 26 10:13 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: virtually all shit is not stored automagically | Dec 26 10:14 |
Diablo-D3 | they have to plug it in. | Dec 26 10:14 |
Diablo-D3 | they are slowly and painfully moving to that | Dec 26 10:14 |
Diablo-D3 | and the world is dragging hospitals out of the 1980s | Dec 26 10:14 |
Diablo-D3 | but its a slow process | Dec 26 10:14 |

Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: however, virtually all devices do not connect to anything unless plugged in | Dec 26 10:15 |
Diablo-D3 | its absurd since we have the tech | Dec 26 10:16 |
Diablo-D3 | but hospitals hate change | Dec 26 10:16 |
Diablo-D3 | because when stuff changes, it means its one less thing they can steal money with | Dec 26 10:16 |
oiaohm | Diablo-D3: there are downsides networking stuff for data transfer as well. Even that we have the tech does not make it always wise. | Dec 26 10:18 |
oiaohm | Most nasty bit of fun I have ever had was a solaris servers acting like under DOS attack but it was a switch gone nuts. Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:19 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, except you said "solaris" | Dec 26 10:20 |
Diablo-D3 | instead of "a real operating system that isn't shit" | Dec 26 10:20 |
oiaohm | I have also seen same things bring down network transfers between all OS's. | Dec 26 10:21 |
Diablo-D3 | which means the node is down and should no longer be storing data. | Dec 26 10:22 |
oiaohm | Ok windows dies. Solarias stalls. Linux and BSD hold in there. | Dec 26 10:22 |
oiaohm | Problem is what OS is inside the devices doing the data logging Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:23 |
Diablo-D3 | not that big of an issue. | Dec 26 10:24 |
Diablo-D3 | thats out of the hands of this discussion. | Dec 26 10:24 |
oiaohm | You were wondering why hostpitals are being slow intergrating.. | Dec 26 10:24 |
Diablo-D3 | I wasnt wondering | Dec 26 10:25 |
Diablo-D3 | I already passed judgement on them | Dec 26 10:25 |
oiaohm | Would you want a life support systems stalling or the like. | Dec 26 10:25 |
oiaohm | Due to a network issue. | Dec 26 10:25 |
Diablo-D3 | they should not be plugged into a network | Dec 26 10:25 |
Diablo-D3 | nor should they be doing any two way communication | Dec 26 10:25 |
oiaohm | They should be pluged in if they are hardered in design. Centeral monitoring in a ward has advantages to live rates. | Dec 26 10:26 |
Diablo-D3 | when available | Dec 26 10:27 |
oiaohm | Problem is for hospitals not all the devices with network support is hardned and pluging them in can become life threating. | Dec 26 10:28 |
oiaohm | Yes a major quality control issue. | Dec 26 10:28 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, this is an issue when you hire indians. | Dec 26 10:29 |
oiaohm | Tight buggets as well Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:29 |
oiaohm | Hardened designs cost money. | Dec 26 10:29 |
Diablo-D3 | they have no excuse to not do it | Dec 26 10:30 |
Diablo-D3 | the US has the highest health care costs in the world | Dec 26 10:30 |
oiaohm | 5 life support machines for the cost of 1 Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:30 |
Diablo-D3 | by not doing it they're either admitting to fraud or its attempted murder, take your pick. | Dec 26 10:30 |
oiaohm | That is the difference between hardend and not hardened Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:30 |
Diablo-D3 | wrong. | Dec 26 10:30 |
Diablo-D3 | its the difference between hiring 5 designers, or 1 designer that can do the work of 5. | Dec 26 10:31 |
Diablo-D3 | the devices will cost less properly designed. | Dec 26 10:31 |
oiaohm | One life support machine can only support 1 person at a time. | Dec 26 10:31 |
oiaohm | Not in this case Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:31 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, in this case. | Dec 26 10:31 |
oiaohm | It takes less parts to make one not hardened Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:32 |
Diablo-D3 | nope | Dec 26 10:32 |
Diablo-D3 | it doesn't. | Dec 26 10:32 |
Diablo-D3 | in fact, it takes less parts to make it hardened | Dec 26 10:32 |
oiaohm | Also not hardened equals less areas to test. | Dec 26 10:32 |
oiaohm | Its also volume vs price as well. More not hardened sell than hardened so price not not hardened is lower. | Dec 26 10:33 |
Diablo-D3 | tests dont usually prove anything | Dec 26 10:33 |
Diablo-D3 | oiaohm: if hardened is the only choice, then thats not an issue | Dec 26 10:34 |
oiaohm | True hardened has the network processing isolated from the rest of what it doing Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:35 |
oiaohm | Hardware isolated Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:36 |
oiaohm | You cannot do that without more hardware. | Dec 26 10:36 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, which is the only way to do it correctl. | Dec 26 10:36 |
Diablo-D3 | Im not interested in incorrectly designed hardware | Dec 26 10:36 |
Diablo-D3 | and thats just the way it is. | Dec 26 10:36 |
oiaohm | I really would wish rules were passed pushing the non hardend devices out of the medical market. Diablo-D3 | Dec 26 10:37 |

oiaohm | Every company that CSIRO took action against had patents over lapping with thiers. | Dec 26 13:23 |
