22:04 thd     kados: How can bad blocks be counted to know if they are increasing if the controller remaps them?
22:01 thd     kados: If the drive does fail, I do at least have the complete system running on other systems and full copies of all partitions stored on an FTP server.  I previously only, had backups of important directories.
21:57 thd     kados: Do not all hard drives develop bad blocks that are simply hidden by controller remapping?
21:56 thd     kados: For well over a decade even IDE controllers are supposed to map out the bad blocks at the hardware level so they would never be seen.
21:55 thd     kados: I have never had a hard drive reporting any bad blocks for the past 15 years except this one.
21:54 thd     kados: I did notice something on the hard drive upgrade mini-howto that suggested the reason tar solutions for partition copying had a bug and had therefore been removed.
21:52 kados   thd: but I'd be careful, if your hard drive is starting to do the bad block thing you may want to get another :-)
21:51 thd     kados: I had not realised that the problem had magically gone away after I moved the hard drive to a newly assembled system.
21:50 thd     kados: the motherboard on which I shorted the keyboard controller with static had a hard drive controller that was failing to map out my bad blocks.
21:49 kados   otherwise, it's probably not necessary
21:48 kados   so if you have a large system you should use mod_perl2
21:48 kados   but the idea is to make it optional
21:48 kados   great
21:48 kados   i think yes ... apache2 would be necessary if mod_perl2 were used
21:47 kados   not ready yet
21:47 kados   hey there thd
21:31 thd     kados: Will using mod_perl2 require Koha to use apache 2?
21:21 thd     kados: Is NET::Z3950 ready yet?
21:14 russ    np
21:14 kados   phone call ... I'll be back in a bit
21:13 kados   right ... so the job is getting Koha 3.0 to be 100% compatible with mod_perl2
21:13 russ    two secs
21:13 russ    so rach would just end up asking me
21:13 kados   ahh ... great

18:35 indradg PDFs are better for me... but i guess the printer would prefer freehand
18:34 rach    can you use a freehand file, or do you need pdfs?
