[6:26pm] kfife: What about solid state drives? 2.5" drives have DOUBLE the failure rate of a 3.5" drive
[6:26pm] mjgraves: noise & heat output!
[6:26pm] ricko73: compact flash with ASTLinux
[6:26pm] jasonwert: The life of SSD is much shorter
[6:27pm] brycec: Trusty ol' CF
[6:27pm] Zeeek: I feel like standing in line at the Calif DMV is 1.5 million hours
[6:27pm] • outtolunc refills his coffee waiting for shoephone to stop buffering
[6:28pm] • brycec has had both drives in a RAID1 fail simultaneously, very annoying
[6:28pm] jameswf: debate: Hardware vs Software raid
[6:28pm] brycec: jameswf: Hard
[6:28pm] • Daviey wonders why people think Hardware RAID is better
[6:28pm] Zeeek: Talkshoe 19, ZipDX 14 callers, 2 streamers = 35 human units
[6:28pm] jameswf: not lately
[6:28pm] Daviey: for RAID-1 at least
[6:28pm] mjgraves: hardware, always
[6:28pm] MicroChip32: also less cooling applied to laptop drives typically
[6:29pm] Daviey: High IO, with more than 2 disks i use hardware RAID
[6:29pm] brycec: I like moving the RAID overhead (striping, etc) outside the OS, leave it to the controller
[6:29pm] Daviey: for anything else i use software raid
[6:29pm] mjgraves: CF is the major reason I went into AstLinux
[6:29pm] Zeeek: I prefer Roach Motel to RAID
[6:29pm] Daviey: in my situations software raid is BETTER
[6:29pm] fred-tmft: solid state is so nice for heat reduction
[6:29pm] brycec: Software RAID is nice because you can take the drives "anywhere" and use 'em
[6:29pm] bertramt joined the chat room.
[6:29pm] Daviey: brycec: RAID-1 doesn't use striping, and i fail to see why an average PBX needs anything other than RAID-1
[6:30pm] ricko73: laptop drives are not intended for continual operation either
[6:30pm] dcdeadbeat: yes but traditional hard drives are cheaper to recover data from than solid stated drives
[6:30pm] jameswf: ricko73: built a whole solution around flash...
[6:30pm] ricko73: there are 2.5" drives that do have continual operation ratings, but not very cheap
[6:30pm] brycec: Daviey: I was speaking generally, and I agree RAID1 is really all that should be needed, though I might argue that having a hot or cold standby instead of a RAID1
[6:31pm] ricko73: jameswf: thanks for the AstLinux plug
[6:31pm] Daviey: brycec: RAID-1 with 2 disks, and a spare?
[6:31pm] brycec: Speaking as a manufacturer... we can't really even get smaller than 160 anymore, not cheaply
[6:31pm] voipsupply joined the chat room.
[6:31pm] brycec: Daviey: I meant phone system, not drive
[6:32pm] Zeeek: voipsupply: hello
[6:32pm] brycec: Daviey: Two systems with one drive each, perhaps some drbd in between
[6:32pm] voipsupply: hi there
[6:32pm] Zeeek: Karl's voice sounds so good in g722. Yay Karl!
[6:32pm] jameswf: considering alot of these places like "Fry's electronics" hire some pretty thick folks for minimum wage my guess is you cant walk in and ask for much of anything inteligent..
[6:32pm] mjgraves: software raid on windows blows!
[6:33pm] mjgraves: I've had huge problems with Quicktime killing Server2003, and killing RAID1 boot volumes
[6:33pm] brycec: If the host HW fails, whether you're running RAID1 or not doesn't matter anymore, you're still down
[6:33pm] fred-tmft: I just hate software raid 100%
[6:33pm] dcdeadbeat: i actually wrote an NTFS driver for DR-DOS
[6:34pm] Zeeek: anyone need to be unmuted?
[6:34pm] brycec: kfife: No issues either way.
[6:34pm] Zeeek: anyone need to call g722 bridge?
[6:34pm] jsmith: Actually, many of the HW raid systems are more prone to problems than Linux software RAID
[6:34pm] jameswf: linux doesn't have a BSOD
[6:34pm] kfife: brycec: so you can lose either drive but still boot?
[6:34pm] NirS: Randy, I just logged into ZipDX
[6:34pm] nabeelj: we're so off-topic!

[6:35pm] nabeelj:
[6:35pm] Zeeek: NirS: and can we hear you?
[6:35pm] brycec: Windows' software RAID is typically is written by the vendor. Linux software RAID is the same stack for all systems

[6:35pm] Zeeek: what bird?

[6:58pm] Zeeek: I heard there was
[6:58pm] jsmith: Zeeek: There's still a cookbook in the works, but nobody is doing any active writing for it
[6:58pm] • brycec likes booting and running straight from ramdisk
[6:58pm] ricko73: jameswf: Ok. When I cash the one from Nigeria, I'll get you your change
[6:58pm] Zeeek: I swore I saw an Asterisk Cookbook on Amazon!
[6:58pm] DaveM_in_CO: anyone interested in asterphone.com domain - it could be yours.
[6:58pm] jsmith: Zeeek: I rounded up 10 or 15 recipes from Digium folk, but nobody else seems to be putting any other effort in it
[6:58pm] jameswf: Can I request inclusion of Bacon based recipes in the cook book
[6:58pm] Zeeek: which confused me totally
[6:58pm] ricko73: backup backup backup
[6:58pm] jsmith: DaveM_in_CO: I'll take it, if it's cheap
[6:59pm] DFrankel: Who is that talking?
[6:59pm] jsmith: jameswf: Everything is better with bacon... if you like bacon.
[6:59pm] ricko73: "Bring out yer dead"!
[6:59pm] ricko73: hmmm bacon
[6:59pm] Zeeek: HAHAHHAA
[6:59pm] jameswf: I'm not dead yet
[6:59pm] kfife: S.M.A.R.T systems S.U.C.K.
[6:59pm] ricko73: or "Bring out your dead, eh?"
[6:59pm] kfife: S.M.A.R.T has NEVER accurately predicted a HDD failure for us.
[6:59pm] Zeeek: true
[6:59pm] brycec: My boss would love to hear that "we're going to have a failure"
[6:59pm] Zeeek: but it looks good
[6:59pm] ricko73: kfife: I've seen it happen twice
[7:00pm] kfife: You've seen it predict?
[7:00pm] brycec: SMART helped ONCE
[7:00pm] ricko73: yes twice in 10+ years
[7:00pm] Zeeek: SMART: "Oh God... Oh God... Oh Goooooooooooooood!" (silence)
[7:00pm] Daviey: most people don't enabled smart monitoring on servers, in my experience
[7:00pm] brycec: Even so, I ignored the message and let the drive run itself into the ground
[7:00pm] outtolunc left the chat room.
[7:00pm] Zeeek: heh
[7:00pm] jameswf: Funny I usualy know a drive has gone when I hear a grinding noise!
[7:00pm] kfife: I've seen it predict, but I'm ALWAYS running hardware RAID, and they NEVER seem to fail. Yet the ones that DO fail never give warning.
[7:01pm] Zeeek: more a shearing noise like a bandsaw
[7:01pm] Daviey: good luck with that jameswf, in a datacentre
[7:01pm] jameswf: there are 10 types of people in this world, those who back up and those who have never had to
[7:01pm] brycec: jameswf: shortly before it impacts the ground?
[7:01pm] brycec: Daviey: What??? CAn you speak up, it's very noisy in here
[7:01pm] kfife: ...in other words, I'll let a SMART drive keep running despite warning in a mirrored volume. I've got one that's been 'pending failure' for over a year.

[7:05pm] kfife: BAARF - We've had bad luck with raid 10. Maybe it should be BAARFT, with the T standing for raid TEN

[7:10pm] kfife: We had 3 power outage events in the last decade, all of which CAUSED by our UPS.
[7:11pm] kfife: our APC ups
[7:11pm] kfife: We now only use Eaton/Powerware
[7:13pm] jameswf: quit complaining canada you have free healthcare
[7:13pm] DFrankel: But everything in Canada is in Canadian dollars...so its the same as free.
[7:13pm] bertramt__ joined the chat room.
[7:13pm] da__d00d: not free. paid for via taxes, and you pay dearly with your time if you want anything
[7:13pm] jameswf: canada has no internet money
[7:13pm] DaveM_in_CO: no, POE splitter needs to pull power off POE so you can connect to LV in of non POE device.
[7:14pm] kfife: It's free now, but I've heard it'
[7:14pm] kfife: is going to double.
[7:14pm] kfife:
[7:14pm] jameswf: da__d00d: I don't buy it people want it so bad in the US it and they hate taxes sooo.. that doesn't add up
[7:14pm] jsmith: Well, you *can* send your Caller*ID name on a PRI here in the US, the telco just *almost always* overwrites it, and the telco on the far end typically rewrites it again (after doing a database dip)
[7:16pm] jameswf: sms in asterisk
[7:16pm] markwaters left the chat room.
[7:16pm] bertramt___ joined the chat room.
[7:16pm] jsmith: jameswf: Well, the biggest problem with SMS is getting connected to the closed network
[7:17pm] _3vian: visual voicemail?
[7:17pm] bertramt___ left the chat room. (Remote closed the connection)
[7:17pm] brycec: jsmith: Whether the far-end does that lookup usually depends on how far. International: always. Inter-state: almost always. Intra-state: pretty rare.
[7:17pm] fred-tmft: i think they don't have attention span for communication > 140 characters
[7:18pm] jameswf: yay twitter

[7:18pm] ricko73: man that's a bad connection
[7:18pm] jsmith: ricko73: It is... which is why I keep muting myself
[7:18pm] ricko73: sucks when the guests are on a bad connections
[7:18pm] jervin: Yeah, Text messaging support by asterisk would be cool.
[7:19pm] ricko73: jsmith: what are you using?
[7:19pm] brycec: jervin: I hear it's possible with Asterisk + BT (british telecom)
[7:19pm] ricko73: Asterisk, the future of telepathy
[7:19pm] brycec: ricko73: lol
[7:19pm] jameswf: outbound SMS could be done easily via AGI. Most networks allow email.
[7:20pm] jervin: Some sort of Bluetooth like interface that you carry around with you.
[7:20pm] jsmith: ricko73: analog line, 26926 feet from the CO... with no grounding on the line, and three weeks worth of harassing the phone company
[7:20pm] ricko73: jsmith: egads!
[7:20pm] jsmith: jameswf: Right, but that doesn't allow for responses, etc.
[7:20pm] brycec: I know that bt has an out-of-band method of doing SMS to the home, and I think Asterisk's original SMS capabilities were built around that
[7:21pm] jsmith: brycec: Correct
[7:21pm] brycec: Zeeek: And YouMail
[7:22pm] _3vian: young folks... i consider myself young and i don't text! just email me i have it on all devices and my voicemail goes to email, so close to visual voicemail...
[7:22pm] jameswf: you could do bidirectional potential with chan_mobile and tracking the responses like nat based on src dest address tracking...
[7:22pm] jsmith: How many people get sick and tired of going to leave a voicemail for someone, and having to listen to the instructions on how to leave a message?
[7:22pm] jervin is now known as jervin-away.
[7:22pm] jsmith: You think we'd know how to leave a voicemail by now.
[7:22pm] dcdeadbeat left the chat room.

[7:22pm] kfife: jsmith: amen brother

[7:22pm] kfife: message after the what??
[7:23pm] imchandave: talkshoe chat doesn't interface with the IRC channel.
[7:23pm] jsmith: kfife: You really want me to leave my name, the time, and a message?
[7:23pm] imchandave: You are missing a lot of the messages...
[7:23pm] imchandave: Sorry, wrong window....
[7:24pm] jervin-away: Now I can talk now that I'm not being recorded?
[7:24pm] jameswf: should have the voice mail app capture the caller ID and say yeah we know who you are hang up and we will call you back..
[7:24pm] brycec: And that's a wrap!
[7:24pm] • jsmith has to drop off and get back to work as well

[7:31pm] brycec: DARTH!!!

[7:32pm] brycec: jameswf: If only I could convince the ONE user of cable TV in my house..
[7:32pm] jervin: I've used a PDA for years and I still take notes on paper.
[7:33pm] _3vian: the QoS for pure VoIP might not be there? How about 2 packet networks?
[7:33pm] jameswf: I do everything on my computer but I still can't manage to do E-Books have to have a hard copy..
[7:33pm] brycec: jervin: Obviously the PDA designer failed then, they haven't created somethign as easy and convenient
[7:33pm] jameswf: email should deffinately eliminate FAX
[7:33pm] jervin: I can write a LOT faster with a pencil than with my stylus (well there's a pen in my stylus).
[7:34pm] brycec: jervin: I type faster than I write, and more legibly
[7:34pm] alrs: the defense of FAX is that you *know* the other side received what you sent
[7:34pm] jervin: I love reading ebooks on my Palm T/X
[7:34pm] jameswf: 4G is 1 better than 3G
[7:34pm] jervin: how about 4H
[7:34pm] jsmith: jameswf: And 0.5 better than 3.5G?
[7:34pm] brycec: alrs: I'd say that P2P file transfer, like with AIM is a better analogue to faxing in the digital world
