schestowitz__Hello, Bradley.Feb 02 06:36
schestowitz__Here I would like to present the proof of thfsplus.ko labeled as "GPL" while being sold along with products (NAS storages in this case):Feb 02 06:36

schestowitz__It seems to me that Tuxera will at least have to open the code for the GPL product they sold. If it turnsFeb 02 06:36
schestowitz__out to be the case that they did with HFS+ what Samsung did with vfat.ko and exFAT, then it's up to FinnishFeb 02 06:36

schestowitz__> I may get the source code by then, so no rush, it's better to informFeb 02 07:08
schestowitz__> about good news.Feb 02 07:08
schestowitz__[08:31] <schestowitz__> Is it possible that a process deleted /files/tm-8-years.gif under drupal 10 hours ago? The file just vanished around that time based on the logsFeb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[08:33] <tessier> I'm not aware of anything that might be deleting files like that.Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[08:34] <schestowitz__> maybe it was an error in Drupal, thanks anyway; I'll investigate (already re-uploaded this file)Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[08:48] <schestowitz__> I couldn't find clues in log files, lost+found etc., so I guess it's a drupal thing or another thing that won't happen much. BTW, did you receive the payment? I just want to make sure it arrived OK, we included $200 for setup and all... :-)Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[08:49] <schestowitz__> I also put large ads in all the pages, on the right-hand sideFeb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[09:00] <tessier> Yes, I did. Thank you very much!Feb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:00] <schestowitz__> one last questionFeb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:00] <schestowitz__> in the mysql comparison, the dumps became half the size after migrationFeb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:01] <tessier> That is odd.Feb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:01] <schestowitz__> but in mysql prompt they claim to be the same. Is it possible that it's so widely different? Maybe redundancy in export before?Feb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:01] <schestowitz__> I am checking to see there was no import issueFeb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:01] <tessier> I wouldn't expect them to be so different.Feb 02 09:23
schestowitz__[09:08] <schestowitz__> I just sent this question to Susan: "I am seeing 404s on many pages, but based on Web Archive, they're mostly/all from "atang", who I think was a troll. I am also worried about database import, so my question is this: were atang's posts simply removed/blocked? Or might there be an import issue?"Feb 02 09:23

schestowitz__[09:11] <schestowitz__> TBH, other than the above (atang) I didn't see any indication that anything was lost and I scrollbacked to see if there was some issue. So I am guessing that perhaps the dumping process on the current server is different in some way, I'lll continue to investigate this. Other than that, everything is great, we're picking up pace again, and yesterday I did analysis to count almost 400,000,000 hits since the countFeb 02 09:23

schestowitz__[09:22] <schestowitz__> heading and tailing the sqldump on centos shows it to be a proper file, valid files. I just wish I knew how it could get so much smaller. On both servers I used the same syntax to dump and the mysqld versions are very similar. I guess I have no reasons to worry about it, but I'll test recovery from backup on some test new database later this week. :-) might also need to add the www. domain and then restore theFeb 02 09:23

schestowitz> drive. In order to determine how best to assist you and provide theFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> correct troubleshooting steps I need some more information. PleaseFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> answer the following questions:Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz>Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> How did the drive fail?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzIt seems to have come faulty. It suffers hangups at random times, including during formatting.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Is the Light still coming on?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzYes.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Can you hear vibrations / movements on the drive?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzIt whirls as usual when connected via USB (I tried two cables, including a new one, and I also tried two PCs).Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Did you test or exchange the power supply?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzNo, I use the one that Seagate shipped with the "refurbished" unit.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Did you exchange the USB cable?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzI tried two identical ones, including the new one shipped by Seagate.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Are you using the rear USB port on your PC?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzFront, back (desktop), and side (laptop). Same outcome always.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> How does the drive react on a different PC?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzSame. Both the same way. It would rarely come up; when it does, it's only temporarily.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Is the drive still detected in the Device Manager under the Disk Drives?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzudev can see it, but it cannot be mounted much of the time. When it does, it's temporary.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Is the drive seen in the Disk Management?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzThe question is not relevant. In Gparted it is clear that the drive is never mounted.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> How do you disconnect the drive from your system?Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzIf it was mounted, I unmount it (but it rarely can be mounted at all). Otherwise I just pull out the USB cable.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> Did you test the drive with the Seatools for Windows using the short andFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> the long test:Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> *http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/consumer-electronics/ld25-series/seatools-win-master/Feb 04 08:25
schestowitzThe kernel panics suggest fatal inode issue. The surface has issues.Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> *Unfortunately we do not offer any refunds.  We can only exchange theFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> drive. For a refund you will have to contact your original place ofFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> purchase, but since theFeb 04 08:25
schestowitz> drive is already a replacement, they might not take it back. *Feb 04 08:25
schestowitz> *Feb 04 08:26
schestowitzIf I sent it again to Seagate, then I again have to pay for shipping.Feb 04 08:26
schestowitzI bought 4 Seagate drives over the years, including one 3 TB drive 2 months ago. Only this one is giving me a hassle, including its replacement. The surface is damaged on the face of it and I wasted a huge number of hours on this.Feb 04 08:26
schestowitzI want a drive that WORKS, like the one I bought 2 months ago. I don't need another faulty drive marketed as "refurbished".Feb 04 08:26

schestowitzI have spent a significant amount of time trying to reproduce this issue on a desktop with Internet Explorer 9, Office 2010, and Windows Server 2008.Feb 08 23:32
schestowitzI could not reproduce the issue in "internal vacancies page". I even tried pasting complex and styled documents from Word into the editor. On "live" too... no luck reproducing the issue. I could carry on trying, but further clues would be appreciated. CKEditor just never hangs.Feb 08 23:33
schestowitzAre there only few users reporting this? An edge case of one? Perhaps another potentially profile-related issue?Feb 08 23:33
schestowitzYou said that Cameron & Wilding had been carrying out work. Did it have any effect on this issue? Judging by the last update, this was not the case.Feb 08 23:33
schestowitzAn upgrade of the same browser (with same profile) does not overcome the issue. What happens when another Web browser is used? It might be helpful to understand at what level (OS/browser/settings) this issue resides. If the issue cannot be reproduced on another PC, then it might even indicate that the Web browser is not the culprit at all, in which case we need to try another investigation strategy. If the issue cannot be reproduced byFeb 08 23:33

schestowitz__[08:48] <schestowitz__> I couldn't find clues in log files, lost+found etc., so I guess it's a drupal thing or another thing that won't happen much. BTW, did you receive the payment? I just want to make sure it arrived OK, we included $200 for setup and all... :-)Feb 02 09:22

schestowitz__[09:01] <tessier> That is odd.Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[09:01] <schestowitz__> but in mysql prompt they claim to be the same. Is it possible that it's so widely different? Maybe redundancy in export before?Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[09:01] <schestowitz__> I am checking to see there was no import issueFeb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[09:01] <tessier> I wouldn't expect them to be so different.Feb 02 09:22
schestowitz__[09:08] <schestowitz__> I just sent this question to Susan: "I am seeing 404s on many pages, but based on Web Archive, they're mostly/all from "atang", who I think was a troll. I am also worried about database import, so my question is this: were atang's posts simply removed/blocked? Or might there be an import issue?"Feb 02 09:22

schestowitzInexperienced people who want to run gnu/linux should not buy from Microsoft partners. HP is garbage. Dell has been a little better but will follow if Gates buys them out. Their hardware has always been hostile in one way or another and should only be acquired from the garbage or a garage sale by people with more time and experience than money.Feb 07 07:41
schestowitzThe best bet for people with more money than experience or time is to buy a new system from ThinkPenguin, System76, or other places that have GNU/Linux ready to go.

schestowitzI have spent a significant amount of time trying to reproduce this issue on a desktop with Internet Explorer 9, Office 2010, and Windows Server 2008.Feb 08 23:31
schestowitzI could not reproduce the issue in "internal vacancies page". I even tried pasting complex and styled documents from Word into the editor. On "live" too... no luck reproducing the issue.

schestowitzAre there only few users reporting this? An edge case of one? Perhaps another potentially profile-related issue?Feb 08 23:31
schestowitzYou said that Cameron & Wilding had been carrying out work. Did it have any effect on this issue? Judging by the last update, this was not the case.Feb 08 23:31
schestowitzAn upgrade of the same browser (with same profile) does not overcome the issue. What happens when another Web browser is used? It might be helpful to understand at what level (OS/browser/settings) this issue resides. If the issue cannot be reproduced on another PC, then it might even indicate that the Web browser is not the culprit at all, in which case we need to try another investigation strategy. If the issue cannot be reproduced byFeb 08 23:31
schestowitzanother user on the same PC, for instance, then it might lead us to profile-centric analysis. This is reminiscent of another open ticket, issue #298.Feb 08 23:32
