… isn’t it always so? I mean, most people^Wtechs will see family and probably end up cleaning spyware/trojans/crap off of family computers… I just go out and shop for the kids, and perhaps do some more online…
In the middle of all of that, I end up paying some attention to the outstanding issues with my setup.
Done a lot lately on the server – everything is moved over to the new IBM server here. Sorted out udev – seems it doesn’t keep static entries, it just assigns drive letters based on the order that things are plugged in/detected. Finally solved my anally-retentive issues by removing the last drive (in bay 5, which was still marked as /dev/sdc simply because the intermediate drives weren’t there), and putting the next ones in, before turning up bay 5 again.
/dev/sd[a-f] all in order. Allows me to make up the proper RAID partitions according to how it *should* detect them on reboot…
md3 : active raid5 sde2[2] sdd2[1] sdc2[0]
27711872 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
md2 : active raid5 sde1[2] sdd1[1] sdc1[0]
7823360 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
md1 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0]
12699264 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
3911744 blocks [2/2] [UU]
Left to do: Make sure it reboots fine, and turn up sdf as a hot spare for md[2,3]. Maybe get it to monitor to my cell as before.
I can’t tell if the additional memory usage is a result, though – mysql, httpd, and mail all seem to be top users there, regardless.
