Diablo-D3hitler was also person of the year onceDec 26 03:59
Diablo-D3not because hes a good guy, but because he was the guy everyone was talking aboutDec 26 03:59
Diablo-D3person of the year is usually given to someone who _really_ makes the news.Dec 26 04:00
Diablo-D3good or bad.Dec 26 04:00
Diablo-D3so yes, I think he should have gotten itDec 26 04:00
Diablo-D3his actions changed the course of society.Dec 26 04:00
Diablo-D3actually, thanks to him, the federal reserve will probably be severely damaged or killed off entirelyDec 26 04:00
Diablo-D3so hes sort of an anti-hero in a wayDec 26 04:01

fewa_argg is there no way to buy raw flashDec 26 07:45
fewa_everything sold has this block-device emulation insanityDec 26 07:46
fewa_including the very expensive SSD drivesDec 26 07:46
fewa_they make this nice piece of hardware and then they cripple it with a legacy and ill-suited communication streamDec 26 07:46
oiaohmIts not insanity can you name any reason for it fewa_ I guess not.Dec 26 07:55
oiaohmWrite levelining in one fewa_Dec 26 07:55
fewa_oiaohm, hardware should not do things that can be better done in softwareDec 26 07:55
fewa_and that limit the possibilities of the hardwareDec 26 07:55
oiaohmWrite 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 onDec 26 07:56
fewa_cause without an OS it doesn't workDec 26 07:56
fewa_UBIFS does write leveling fineDec 26 07:56
fewa_*UBIDec 26 07:56
fewa_far better than any block-emulationDec 26 07:56
fewa_that obstructs using the hardwareDec 26 07:56
fewa_and provides a false interop layerDec 26 07:57
oiaohmSmart detection of failures as well.Dec 26 07:57
fewa_same reason people supported BIOSesDec 26 07:57
oiaohmUBI also has it weaknesses.  Its write leveling does not intergrate with diagnostics.Dec 26 07:58
oiaohmIe a non changable block due to a failure might be still usable if it contains the right data fewa_Dec 26 07:59
oiaohmThere 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 layerDec 26 08:00
fewa_put ware leveling hardware and then still provide a flash interfaceDec 26 08:00
fewa_running SSD over SATA is stupidDec 26 08:00
oiaohmCurrently there is not standard to do that fewa_Dec 26 08:01
fewa_should run over PCI-EDec 26 08:01
fewa_or other busDec 26 08:01
oiaohmSome SSD exist for PCI-E connect.Dec 26 08:01
oiaohmBut SSD over Sata does have a valid place with some forms of raid controllers mixjng solid and disk.Dec 26 08:02
oiaohmThere are reasons for the evil fewa_Dec 26 08:03
oiaohmOf course lot of people just needing 1 solid state drive there is most likely no advantage to using Sata over a PCI-E interconnectDec 26 08:04
Diablo-D3umDec 26 08:11
Diablo-D3theres usually zero advantageDec 26 08:11
Diablo-D3you know why?Dec 26 08:11
Diablo-D3a lot of those cards are faking sata controllersDec 26 08:11
oiaohmDepends on the card.Dec 26 08:16
oiaohmSome fake sata and also provide direct.Dec 26 08:16
oiaohmOk fake sata and pata so some OS's can install.Dec 26 08:17
oiaohmie windows.Dec 26 08:17
Diablo-D3ie ANYTHINGDec 26 08:18
Diablo-D3if it requires special drivers at all, basically give up booting an OS on itDec 26 08:18
Diablo-D3but its all really stupidDec 26 08:18
Diablo-D3it doesn't gain you anythingDec 26 08:18
Diablo-D3and they cost a lot more per gb than normal SSDDec 26 08:19
Diablo-D3like, for exampleDec 26 08:21
Diablo-D3many of them have 4x pci-e 1.0 interfacesDec 26 08:22
Diablo-D3that gives you 1gbyte/secDec 26 08:22
Diablo-D3with a command latency in the same neighborhood of sata/300Dec 26 08:23
Diablo-D3however, a single sata-300 link can max out at 300mbyte/secDec 26 08:24
Diablo-D3not only that, theres no card shipping that can do 1gbyte/sec Dec 26 08:24
Diablo-D3at least no conventional cardDec 26 08:25
Diablo-D3like, fusion-io's shit are not conventional, however smallDec 26 08:26
Diablo-D3theirs can do 750mbyte/sec Dec 26 08:27
Diablo-D3however, they hold 320gb and cost a craploadDec 26 08:27
Diablo-D3for what you pay for that, I can buy 3 conventional 128gb drives in sata formfactor, and end up with more space and the same speedDec 26 08:28
Diablo-D3and not waste a valuable slotDec 26 08:28
fewa_oiaohm, the PCI-E SSDs are SATA raidsDec 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 emulationDec 26 08:33
fewa_thats what im griping aboutDec 26 08:33
fewa_if it was just mtd i could p[ut ubifs on itDec 26 08:33
fewa_and it would be much fasterDec 26 08:33
*ClonaLuiArch (n=ubuntu@79.114.205.245) has left #boycottnovellDec 26 08:34
fewa_and ubifs uses much smarter caching than any unaware FTL-hard drive FSDec 26 08:37
fewa_comboDec 26 08:37
fewa_having the file system made and aware of flash is much more intelligentDec 26 08:37

fewa_if you dont set the offsets right you torture the FTL and have horrible performanceDec 26 08:51
fewa_for non-fat32 filesystemsDec 26 08:51

fewa_ughhhDec 26 08:55
fewa_I dont see the hardware of NAND flash changing any time soonDec 26 08:56
fewa_why cant software deal directly with the hardware?Dec 26 08:56
fewa_* the OS deal directly with hardwareDec 26 08:56
fewa_and file systems, or layers like UBI be developed directly for thatDec 26 08:56
oiaohmThat started disappearing with smart in harddrives fewa_Dec 26 08:56
fewa_its POSIX that is the standardDec 26 08:56
fewa_hard drives are differntDec 26 08:56
oiaohmIe before smart in harddrives OS were required to find bad sectors.Dec 26 08:56
fewa_yes i knowDec 26 08:57
oiaohmAfter smart the smart system takes care of it.Dec 26 08:57
fewa_I can see reason for thatDec 26 08:57
oiaohmProblem 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 OSDec 26 08:57
fewa_but anyways this is about NANDDec 26 08:57
oiaohmsmart works while OS is booting fewa_Dec 26 08:58
fewa_putting the filesystem in the hardware seems stupidDec 26 08:58
fewa_and its anti-freedomDec 26 08:58
fewa_"The OSD designers decided to offload another task from the host systems: security. "Dec 26 08:59
oiaohmI 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 LinuxDec 26 08:59
fewa_they are trying to find new ways to hide their codeDec 26 08:59
fewa_stagnate developmentDec 26 08:59
fewa_that article isn't about storage devicesDec 26 09:00
oiaohmOSD also has the option of beening tidier over network compared to block based emulation.Dec 26 09:00
fewa_its about databases on a chipDec 26 09:00
fewa_database layerDec 26 09:00
fewa_no reason OSD couldn't be a layer used for network communication of within a filesystemDec 26 09:00
fewa_but making it the "hardware" layer of communication is badDec 26 09:01
fewa_just a secretive way of hiding code from LinuxDec 26 09:01
fewa_and making the electronics more expensiveDec 26 09:01
fewa_especially with NAND flash that can be so simpleDec 26 09:01
oiaohmThe block system emulation already hides code from Linux fewa_Dec 26 09:01
fewa_oiaohm, and i am railing against itDec 26 09:01
fewa_NAND flash can be exposed directlyDec 26 09:02
fewa_and it works wellDec 26 09:02
fewa_why cant it be raw NAND over something like PCI-EDec 26 09:02
fewa_?Dec 26 09:02
oiaohmReally it does need something like a smart overlay to detect and remap accordingly.Dec 26 09:02
fewa_or UBI over PCI-EDec 26 09:02
oiaohmSomething like the way 386 does its memory map fewa_Dec 26 09:03
fewa_where the hardware chip provides UBIDec 26 09:03
oiaohmSo failing areas can be maped out.Dec 26 09:03

fewa_ithas been screwed up a incredible amount of timesDec 26 09:04
fewa_oiaohm, thats hard drives, not flash drivesDec 26 09:04
oiaohmThere are flash drives on market with inbuilt encryption.Dec 26 09:05

oiaohmReally the big issue with most flash modules is that section breaks you have to replace the whole lot.Dec 26 09:14
Diablo-D3Now, you _can_ get adapters that do -> sataDec 26 09:14
Diablo-D3they have a chip... its a normal everyday ide to sata bridge.Dec 26 09:14

fewa_currently its soldered into mobile stuffDec 26 09:15
Diablo-D3_all_ cards have some controller in themDec 26 09:15
fewa_they just need a port for itDec 26 09:15
fewa_Diablo-D3, not raw flashDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3they dont make raw flash cardsDec 26 09:16
fewa_xD has hardly anythingDec 26 09:16
fewa_no wear leveling, etcDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3xD is deadDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3the only time you still see raw flash in production devices is embedded right on the board.Dec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3also, jesus fucking christDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3quit with the ram drive shitDec 26 09:16
fewa_needs a socketDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3its dumb, its retarded, and they've been making stupid shit for years.Dec 26 09:16
fewa_thats not meDec 26 09:16
Diablo-D3ohDec 26 09:16
fewa_its oiaohm Dec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3oiaohm: you suck as wellDec 26 09:17
fewa_I was saying that flash should have a ram-like form factorDec 26 09:17
fewa_and standard slotDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3no, it shouldn't.Dec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3its a storage deviceDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3it should _be_ a storage deviceDec 26 09:17
fewa_but its a chipDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3it should act like one.Dec 26 09:17
fewa_not a hard driveDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3I dont care what the fuck it isDec 26 09:17
fewa_it should act like a chipDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3its a storage deviceDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3we have standardsDec 26 09:17
fewa_not a moving part deviceDec 26 09:17
Diablo-D3now, ask me again in 15 yearsDec 26 09:17
fewa_people are still thinking hard drivesDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3Ill give you a different answerDec 26 09:18
fewa_its idioticDec 26 09:18
fewa_flash is differn'tDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3fewa_: yes butDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3flash isnt differentDec 26 09:18
fewa_you can put it on a chip just like ramDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3its still the same shit.Dec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3hard drives are, underneath, exactly the sameDec 26 09:18
fewa_and not have all these stupid emulation layersDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3you know why we dont see them that way?Dec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3they have a very intelligent controller on itDec 26 09:18
fewa_Diablo-D3, but there are so many complications due to the hardwareDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3fewa_: wrong.Dec 26 09:18
fewa_NAND is much simpler hardware wiseDec 26 09:18
Diablo-D3raw flash is also much harder to use efficientlyDec 26 09:19
fewa_vis-a-vis hard drive needs controler, not flashDec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3SATA has been designed to be easy to talk to controller hardwareDec 26 09:19
fewa_or at least something more streamlinedDec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3SATA _is_ very streamlined!Dec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3what the fuck is wrong with the people in this channel.Dec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3Its amazing.Dec 26 09:19
oiaohmReally flash still need a controller of some form to maintain leveling.Dec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3its like Roy emits some sort of RDF.Dec 26 09:19
Diablo-D3flash needs some sort of controller as so you can control whats under the controllerDec 26 09:20
Diablo-D3they have RAID chips, for example, that do RAID and you'd never know from the hostDec 26 09:20
fewa_but not block emulationDec 26 09:20
fewa_Diablo-D3, oh, i gues you could do mtd over sataDec 26 09:20
Diablo-D3fewa_: you dont want block emulationDec 26 09:20
Diablo-D3its not efficientDec 26 09:20
fewa_sata not problem, block isDec 26 09:20
fewa_hardware vendors need to provide mtd sata driversDec 26 09:21
fewa_for ssdsDec 26 09:21
oiaohmDiablo-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-D3oiaohm: devices do not work that way.Dec 26 09:22
fewa_oiaohm, yes, nand chips should be like ramDec 26 09:22
Diablo-D3oiaohm: if you wanted that, guess what happens?Dec 26 09:22
Diablo-D3your shit costs 5 times more.Dec 26 09:22
fewa_Diablo-D3, trueDec 26 09:23
Diablo-D3So, please, stop doing drugs.Dec 26 09:23
fewa_endless failover is a drugDec 26 09:23
fewa_just get more machinesDec 26 09:23
oiaohmCost vs means to recover data.  Cost is also a factor of volume as well Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:23
fewa_overengineeringDec 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 ramDec 26 09:24
Diablo-D3that is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard.Dec 26 09:24
Diablo-D3if I wanted RAID, I'd, well, already have RAID like I do now.Dec 26 09:24
oiaohmRAID is not 100 percent Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:25
fewa_lolDec 26 09:25
fewa_Diablo-D3, i don't see how that is materialDec 26 09:25
fewa_and oiaohm lol, ur falling into your overengineeringDec 26 09:26
oiaohmNot really.Dec 26 09:26
fewa_he didn't say why he wanted RAID 1Dec 26 09:26
fewa_*RAIDDec 26 09:26
fewa_and anywaysDec 26 09:26
oiaohmI have seen the results of power surge caused inside a comptuer.Dec 26 09:26
oiaohmAll controllers on all drives dead.Dec 26 09:27
fewa_flash RAID doesn't make senseDec 26 09:27
oiaohmRaid is no help.Dec 26 09:27
fewa_its not a diskDec 26 09:27
fewa_that was the whole point of RAIDDec 26 09:27
Diablo-D3its a device that can fail.Dec 26 09:27
Diablo-D3they have the equivalent for RAM on enterprise servers as wellDec 26 09:27
fewa_duplicationDec 26 09:28
fewa_but not "RAID"Dec 26 09:28
oiaohmRaid mirror is designed to protect against failure by duplicating.Dec 26 09:28
Diablo-D3why automatically ignore other RAID levels?Dec 26 09:28
Diablo-D3it sure is troll in here.Dec 26 09:28
fewa_RAID 5 is duplicationDec 26 09:28
Diablo-D3RAID 5 is not duplication in that senseDec 26 09:28
fewa_not mirroring, but duplicationDec 26 09:28
Diablo-D3no, its just parity.Dec 26 09:29
fewa_thats a form of duplicationDec 26 09:29
Diablo-D3its a form of failure protection.Dec 26 09:29
Diablo-D3the parity blocks do not contain any data that exists in the data blocks.Dec 26 09:29
Diablo-D3ergo, it is not duplication of any kindDec 26 09:29
Diablo-D3its error correction.Dec 26 09:30
fewa_a image negative does notcontain any of the colours of the final pictureDec 26 09:30
oiaohmMain 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-D3fewa_: yet its the same size of the original.Dec 26 09:31
Diablo-D3raid 5 only uses one more disk no matter how many you have in your array.Dec 26 09:31
oiaohmI 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
oiaohmThis is not really over enginering is design in the hope of having a sporting chance.Dec 26 09:33
Diablo-D3this is why you do not store your data in one locationDec 26 09:34
oiaohmThat is always the plan but when thing go wrong plans don't always happen Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:35
Diablo-D3Thats the fault of the people who didnt want the data very badly.Dec 26 09:35
oiaohmI have seen sets of failures lead to data not being able to get away from location before bad happens.Dec 26 09:36
oiaohmRemember sod law always wins Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:36
Diablo-D3if you have data realtime streamed to a second locationDec 26 09:41
Diablo-D3the likelyhood of irreparable loss happening is lowDec 26 09:42
oiaohmLast time I saw that screwed was bushfire Dec 26 09:42
oiaohmDrive repair become kind critical.  Data links were taken down before processing stopped.Dec 26 09:43
oiaohmMind you most flash drives are not built to live past that either.Dec 26 09:43
oiaohmTime 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
oiaohmBasically no matter how you plan to get data off site sod law can get you.  Because failure is still possiable Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:46
Diablo-D3oiaohm: you do realize you can house data storage in fire proof safes, right?Dec 26 09:47
Diablo-D3everything nature can do, I really can do better.Dec 26 09:47
Diablo-D3you have to start getting into situations where no one gives a fuck about the data anymore because the world is endingDec 26 09:47
oiaohmThat is as long as the bushfire was not like the past one.  Hotter than anyone had ever seen.Dec 26 09:47
Diablo-D3oiaohm: yes, you live in a strange weird countryDec 26 09:48
oiaohmThere has been equal in places in the USA as well Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:48
Diablo-D3see, in the US, we can build completely underground facilitiesDec 26 09:48
Diablo-D3the land could be burning, and people in the facility would never knowDec 26 09:48
oiaohmSome exist here.  I have seen them have other bad and evil failures.Dec 26 09:49
Diablo-D3Im not saying failures wont happenDec 26 09:49
oiaohmLike flooding Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:49
Diablo-D3Im saying all failures can be delt with appropriately.Dec 26 09:49
oiaohmUnder facilities flooded not fun.Dec 26 09:49
Diablo-D3oiaohm: flooding is not an issue for a water tight facility.Dec 26 09:49
oiaohmYou hope water tight.Dec 26 09:49
Diablo-D3It doesnt need to be perfectly water tightDec 26 09:50
oiaohmOne here fault line no one knew about decide to move.Dec 26 09:50
Diablo-D3it just needs to shut down appropriately.Dec 26 09:50
Diablo-D3this takes mere seconds.Dec 26 09:50
oiaohmSo killing the water tightDec 26 09:50
oiaohmWater that filled was high salt Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:50
Diablo-D3so?Dec 26 09:50
oiaohmMetal eatingDec 26 09:51

Diablo-D3[04:44:17] <Diablo-D3> you trash all the equipment and start over.Dec 26 09:51
oiaohmData was still recoveralbe from the drives in that mess.Dec 26 09:51
Diablo-D3see, thats where you went wrong oiaohm Dec 26 09:52
tessierOSD fits well with HTTPDec 26 09:52
tessierPOSIX filesystems do not.Dec 26 09:52
Diablo-D3you assumed data needed to be recoveredDec 26 09:52
Diablo-D3instant offsite duplication should prevent the need.Dec 26 09:52
oiaohmThis case it did it was recording data under ground.Dec 26 09:52
oiaohmOffsite link area was first to flood Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:53
oiaohmYes Sod law has a bad habit of winning.Dec 26 09:53
oiaohmIf you run into sod law stronger the data storage devices less data loss.Dec 26 09:54
oiaohmOf course you try to design everything so sod law cannot operate.Dec 26 09:55

oiaohmNot possible in all cases.  When the site is acquiring data from where it is that is unique to that area.  Diablo-D3Dec 26 09:58

Diablo-D3oiaohm: if the data was never replicated, it never existed to begin withDec 26 10:01
Diablo-D3you're talking about the false positive storage caseDec 26 10:02
tessierDiablo-D3: What about the first time it was created?Dec 26 10:02
Diablo-D3which, if it does happen, your communication pipeline is designed wrongDec 26 10:02
tessierNever replicated but does exist.Dec 26 10:02
Diablo-D3tessier: in my line of work, thats the user's desktop at home.Dec 26 10:02
Diablo-D3if my system falsely replies the data was stored correctly and it wasn't, then I designed something wrongDec 26 10:02
oiaohmI have seen many cases of data not replated to other locations due to commuincation failures Diablo-D3Dec 26 10:02
Diablo-D3oiaohm: it should have never accepted the store request thenDec 26 10:03
oiaohmThat just has to be timed with something like a direct building hit.Dec 26 10:03
oiaohmSo leading to recovery being required Diablo-D3Dec 26 10:03
Diablo-D3oiaohm: except that goes into "dont care, end of the world" territoryDec 26 10:03

Diablo-D3instead of "a real operating system that isn't shit"Dec 26 10:20
oiaohmI have also seen same things bring down network transfers between all OS's.Dec 26 10:21

oiaohmDue to a network issue.Dec 26 10:25
Diablo-D3they should not be plugged into a networkDec 26 10:25

oiaohmThey 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-D3when availableDec 26 10:27
oiaohmProblem is for hospitals not all the devices with network support is hardned and pluging them in can become life threating.Dec 26 10:28
oiaohmYes a major quality control issue.Dec 26 10:28
Diablo-D3yes, this is an issue when you hire indians.Dec 26 10:29

Diablo-D3by not doing it they're either admitting to fraud or its attempted murder, take your pick.Dec 26 10:30
oiaohmThat is the difference between hardend and not hardened Diablo-D3Dec 26 10:30
Diablo-D3wrong.Dec 26 10:30
Diablo-D3its the difference between hiring 5 designers, or 1 designer that can do the work of 5.Dec 26 10:31
Diablo-D3the devices will cost less properly designed.Dec 26 10:31
oiaohmOne life support machine can only support 1 person at a time.Dec 26 10:31

Diablo-D3nopeDec 26 10:32
Diablo-D3it doesn't.Dec 26 10:32
Diablo-D3in fact, it takes less parts to make it hardenedDec 26 10:32
oiaohmAlso not hardened equals less areas to test.Dec 26 10:32
oiaohmIts also volume vs price as well.  More not hardened sell than hardened so price not not hardened is lower.Dec 26 10:33
Diablo-D3tests dont usually prove anythingDec 26 10:33
