01:16:23 <rust_collector> mornings
01:44:11 <steve30> hi
01:47:01 Join: qeed ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:07:38 <coppice> steve30: I hope you drank that coffee on the premises, and didn't cheat the system
02:08:13 <steve30> i did
02:10:10 <coppice> steve30: the family went to nandos earlier, because their web site offered the 1/2 price deal. they were only serving take away and sit outside options, so the web site is a scam. how come eating outside at the restaurant doesn't count for 1/2 price?
02:10:44 <coppice> steve30: McD doesn't care. go in. buy at 1/2 price. take it home
02:11:02 <coppice> steve30: only the McD drivethrough is charging full price
02:11:47 <rust_collector> what is the thing about half price food?
02:12:20 <coppice> Its a UK goverment scheme to try to get people using pubs and restaurants again
02:12:27 <rust_collector> oh
02:13:05 <coppice> because its apparantly OK to die of COVID-19 once you've got a good deal on a meal
02:13:50 <rust_collector> well, I am not going to the UK to buy basic cheeseburgers
02:14:28 <coppice> It works for haute cuisine as well
02:14:39 <rust_collector> well...
02:15:23 <steve30> Sitting outside ought to count as 'eat in' as opposed to takeaway
03:25:02 <rust_collector> mmmmh. I am having some old coffee, from 6 this morning.

08:01:34 <MrMobodies> I had some problems with the Pfsense restarting
08:01:52 <MrMobodies> and it went into a loop
08:02:32 <MrMobodies> I thought, the manhy network cards I put in with with IRQ'S being shifted around again... took them all out same thing
08:02:46 <MrMobodies> checked the bios, voltages and temperatures are fine
08:03:11 <MrMobodies> I had the old hard drive in there before I put the SSD in about 4 months ago
08:03:16 <MrMobodies> connected it up and it worked
08:03:33 <MrMobodies> faulty SSD? nothing wrong with it, apparently there wasn't any space left
08:04:34 <MrMobodies> something within the PFsense (I suspect maybe a package) has filled up all that space 230gb
08:06:48 <MrMobodies> Also on the dashboard when it was last working it didn't show very much used.
08:27:30 <rust_collector> ok, so... what is on the drive?
08:28:14 <MrMobodies> I am going to mount the file system soon
08:28:18 <MrMobodies> I'll tkake a screenshot
08:28:41 <electrohead> could you see what the largest files are via find?
08:36:32 <MrMobodies> I am going to get linux up and plug it in, I think it is an EXT2 2 or 4 file system.
08:37:37 <rust_collector> I would not think it is ext2, just because almost no one uses that now
08:38:12 <MrMobodies> I am sorry: https://i.imgur.com/XyIsWYj.jpg
08:38:48 <MrMobodies> just realised that might not be the case of it being full as other drives are reported full too.
08:39:34 <MrMobodies> Just getting things prepared
08:39:53 <rust_collector> I am going to work, have fun
08:39:59 <Ampera> electrohead, you can ls -lh and see file sizes like that
08:40:12 <Ampera> if you can get pathnames from find you can pipe it into ls -lh
08:41:06 <rust_collector> ans you can use -laS with your ls, to get them listed after file size
08:41:42 <electrohead> many ways to do it :P
08:43:05 <electrohead> for the whole disk, and to see the top largest files, du is nice for that
08:43:25 <electrohead> of course with sort, head, etc
09:17:53 <MrMobodies> Got Linux mint up but can't seem to mount it
09:18:36 <MrMobodies> even a working back from disc image that's just finished (incase it goes wrong again)
09:20:05 <electrohead> what's it doing when you try to mount it?

09:25:08 <MrMobodies> I found this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/116337/how-can-i-mount-a-non-booting-pfsense-volume
09:27:14 <MrMobodies> Ahh I see "Unknown (ufs 2)"
09:37:35 <electrohead> could you paste what "fdisk -l /dev/sdX" says?
09:37:50 <electrohead> of course, replace sdX with the correct device
09:38:36 <electrohead> I've already had to recover a borked drive, due to a power failure
09:39:01 <electrohead> fsck did the trick for me, maybe it will for you as well
09:40:25 <electrohead> mm, within pfsense, that is. I imagine you can use the linux variant of fsck on a *bsd drive?
09:51:24 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/6mm79P2.jpg
09:51:55 <MrMobodies> something new to me the Freebsd file system seems to be different as to mounting it
09:52:39 <MrMobodies> Thanks, I'll install Freebsd and most likely it'll mount
10:05:19 <electrohead> you can technically mount a UFS filesystem on linux, but you most likely need to manually calculate the partition's offet
10:05:39 <electrohead> so yeah, better off doing it directly in pfsense/freebsd, as it has the proper utilities lol
10:06:54 <electrohead> next time though, just boot/reboot into 'recovery mode' in pfsense, it will put you at a root shell, where you can fsck your drives, etc
10:11:25 <MrMobodies> Well I have a disk image waiting so I can just swap them over but for that to happen I would like to try and find out why.
10:12:05 <MrMobodies> After I am finished i'll write test to the drive
10:13:35 <MrMobodies> I left the previous 3.5" drive with the previous installation from 5 years ago (updated to 2.4? or so x86) and booted up fine
10:13:44 <electrohead> you mentioned earlier all drives reported full, I just don't want to be confused, here : that was on a separate computer, or the pfense computer?
10:14:04 <MrMobodies> that was from my laptop
10:14:07 <MrMobodies> I have many
10:14:12 <MrMobodies> they have sata ports on
10:14:21 <MrMobodies> on I just connect the drives up
10:16:04 <electrohead> ok
10:22:39 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/QgGccuU
10:23:58 <MrMobodies> If that fails I have another one waiting but I got to set it up the same.
10:24:22 <MrMobodies> but the ssd's I will have one waiting there incase it fails again.
10:24:29 <MrMobodies> for whatever reason
10:24:54 <MrMobodies> but going to install Freebsd now it has finished downloading
10:25:03 <MrMobodies> in a virtual machine
