02:56.26ashesalbech: you don't have ipv6 support in your libc headers
02:58.10ashesi don't know if iproute2 can be modified to not use ipv6. otherwise you should probably use busybox
03:04.09albechi am using busybox, but its implementation of iproute2 isnt sufficient for shorewall
03:04.29albechand i have tried both with and without ipv6 support compiled in uclibc.. same problem
03:08.41ashesin6addr_any should be in /usr/include/linux/in6.h
03:09.34asheserm
03:09.37ashesno
03:10.26ashesi dunno where it should be
03:10.38ashesfind /usr/include | xargs grep -n in6addr_any
03:10.51ashesfigure out what ifdef's are blocking it
03:11.50ashesyour error is from ld, which means in6addr_any() is not in libc
03:12.11asheslibc.so
03:17.11ashesalso
03:17.20ashesgoogle for "in6addr_any uclibc"
03:17.31asheswithout the quotes

20:25.25TimRikerwmat: I cleaned up 7G of old backups that we have offsite anyway.
20:26.41TimRikerwmat: installing upgrades now...
20:27.35TimRikerthe backup script needs to only keep x backups and delete the older ones. I'll work on that next.
20:28.12wmatTimRiker: heh, I was on there poking around and saw the usage drop dramatically and wondered what was going on
20:28.36TimRiker:) I figured, that's why I joined here to talk. :)
20:28.57TimRikerthere was 20g in /mnt when I started.
20:29.00wmatTimRiker: any idea why we'd get an error msg from godaddy about maxing out our smtp relay limit of 1000?
20:29.15*** join/#elinux dijenerate (n=dijenera@72.51.106.88)
20:29.54TimRikerwe were likely sending emails someplace about the drive being full. if they bounce them back, we could have a mail-loop. evil things those. just theories at present, not found any evidence yet.
20:30.10TimRikerstarting with security updates first...
20:30.29wmatyes, the celfadmin guy had mentioned receiving msgs about the disk being full as well
20:33.40prpplaguefun fun
20:33.59prpplaguei'll have a look through the upload files to see if there is anything that can be cleaned as well
20:34.17prpplaguei have a feeling there are some duplicate copies of SoC datasheets
20:34.30wmatprpplague: I quickly looked, and there doesn't seem to be much of any significant size
20:34.53prpplagueahh ok

20:38.58TimRikerlots and lots of those in the mail.info file.

20:40.11TimRikerthat looks like the first bounce.
20:42.40TimRikerI'm just going to flush all the mail. can't find anything useful in there.
20:43.41wmatTimRiker: go for it
20:46.47TimRikerwhen do we get mail back? looks like just one message will start a mail loop again as the relay rejects it so we try to send a notification which gets rejected, so we try... etc.
20:51.25TimRikershould come back at midnight or something?

20:57.41wmatTimRiker: I don't know.
20:57.58wmatare we causing the loop?
20:58.56TimRikerwell, we aren't stopping it.
20:59.35TimRikerwe fail and try to send a notice that we failed, which fails, so we try to send a notice that it failed, ad. infinitum.
21:00.10TimRikerI'm trying setting 2bounce_notice_recipient = /dev/null to see if that ends it.
21:02.13wmatTimRiker: I'm heading home now, thanks for the disk usage cleanup
21:02.44TimRikernods. the backup script still needs fixing. I should get to that I expect.
21:13.07TimRikerwmat: ok, next run should just leave 10 local sets of tar and sql backups. we'll continue that way, with 10 weeks of backups on the local machine.

22:59.27archae0pteryxDoes anyone have advice on speeding up jffs2 (either HW or SW solution?)
23:04.59flybackbetter hw?
23:05.02flybackducks
23:10.42archae0pteryx:P
23:11.22archae0pteryxwell for example i figure word instead of halfword access should speed things up, but I haven't done any benchmarking so far
23:12.26flybackor better flash if it's not soldered down
23:16.46mnemocarchae0pteryx: what about using a better fs?
23:18.47archae0pteryxmnemoc: For bare NAND flash what would you recommend over jffs2
23:19.21flybackgo SLC nand
23:19.30flybackdon't go MLC unless really cost constrained
23:19.34flybackMLC has 10x less write cycleds
23:19.36flybackway slower
23:19.42flybackand way more prone to random bit errors
23:19.53flybackat least till micron's new technology takes shape
23:20.15archae0pteryxSpeed might be an issue but write cycles not quite so much
23:20.39flybackMLC = CANUCKED
23:22.18mnemocarchae0pteryx: I'm not an expert, but you have axfs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu6Yj7iKEiA), logfs and ubifs
23:22.33flybacklogfs?
23:22.39archae0pteryxinteresting, thanks
23:23.03mnemocflyback: http://www.logfs.org/logfs/
23:24.02archae0pteryxmnemoc: if these may be faster  do you have any theories on why most people still use jffs2
23:24.32mnemocarchae0pteryx: those are far younger than jffs2
23:25.25mnemocarchae0pteryx: most people just keeps using what they have always used
23:25.40archae0pteryxmnemoc: maybe buggier too?  Especially if not many people are using them
23:26.00flybackdecides to start taking random mixes of pain killers till the pain either stops or his body does
23:26.11archae0pteryxI can't afford to go with something not as well tested because I will have little physical access
23:27.08mnemocarchae0pteryx: I think they are all mature, but ask for enlightenment at the linux-embedded list
23:27.31flybackwow
23:27.39flybackcram and sqush fs are both canucked up the moose
23:27.50flybackdecides to stop using them on his palm pilot for rootfs
23:28.51mnemocaxfs videos are impressive :)
23:32.01mnemochttp://free-electrons.com/pub/video/2008/ols/ols2008-jared-hulbert-xip-filesystem.ogg
23:32.46mnemoc^--- the talk at ols when their were presented (laughs are natural)
23:34.50mnemocgoes to sleep, cu tomorrow
23:38.43flybackmy palm has a 256 meg flash drive
23:38.51flyback160 av ailable to user till I remove palm os from rom
23:39.01flybackbe nice to use with XIP when it's totally flashed to linux
23:39.05flybackwhen there is support for that
