[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?

[6:33pm] 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?

[6:59pm] 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.

Maybe it should be BAARFT, with the T standing for raid TEN [7:05pm] jameswf: people often ask me which Asterisk Distro I use... I chuckle a little and say no [7:06pm] • jameswf has found .conf files faster than a gui. [7:06pm] jameswf: Druid is sexy though...

[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] Zeeek: TFOT [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] ricko73: jsmith: or someone calling, leaving a message that says "call me" with no further details [7:22pm] kfife: jsmith: amen brother [7:22pm] brycec: jsmith: That's why I always try and press # to skip [7:22pm] kfife: message after the what??

[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 [7:24pm] jervin-away is now known as jervin.

[7:31pm] _3vian: lol [7:31pm] jameswf: people are more likely to drop their home line than cell or broadband [7:31pm] jsmith: jameswf: Correct [7:32pm] jameswf: I have not had a traditional telco line in 3 years... [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 [7:34pm] bertramt__ left the chat room.
