[1244.70 --> 1246.16] I'll deal with it when I get back. |
[1246.92 --> 1255.38] Turned out, when you put something into that final slot, the PCIe switch inside the motherboard |
[1255.38 --> 1259.60] turns that first slot from a 16 to an 8x slot. |
[1260.36 --> 1262.92] Which means that bifurcation doesn't work. |
[1264.58 --> 1266.08] And that took me all day to figure that out. |
[1266.66 --> 1266.86] Right. |
[1266.94 --> 1273.12] And it's not like there's a little LED light that comes on that says, by the way, bifurcation |
[1273.12 --> 1274.02] has been disabled. |
[1275.64 --> 1279.04] You just got to really know how that motherboard works to figure that out. |
[1279.04 --> 1283.46] So you must have assumed everything from hardware failure to firmware issues. |
[1283.88 --> 1286.90] Was it digging through the motherboard manual where you finally put it together? |
[1287.66 --> 1287.84] Yeah. |
[1287.84 --> 1292.50] I actually had to go and look at the flipping schematic of the motherboard chipset layout. |
[1293.12 --> 1294.14] Oh, man. |
[1295.46 --> 1297.12] It was only, honestly, once I plugged. |
[1297.28 --> 1301.18] So I went back to my Apple Genius Bar training and unplugged everything. |
[1301.26 --> 1303.50] And I was like, right, I'm going to do a minimum viable system. |
[1303.84 --> 1304.24] Right. |
[1304.26 --> 1306.24] If I put something in this slot, does it work? |
[1306.24 --> 1308.78] If I put something in that slot, does it work? |
[1309.06 --> 1309.14] Right. |
[1309.66 --> 1311.52] Everything on its own worked. |
[1312.24 --> 1316.24] It was only when I put something in the final slot and I was like, oh, no. |
[1316.88 --> 1320.02] And then did you try taking that thing in the final slot and putting it in its own slot |
[1320.02 --> 1321.12] and see if it works on its own? |
[1321.26 --> 1321.52] Yeah. |
[1321.76 --> 1322.16] It did. |
[1322.28 --> 1323.12] Yeah, that's what you got to do. |
[1323.28 --> 1324.38] That's what you got to do. |
[1324.38 --> 1331.80] And then I was just like, shit, this means that there's a bug in the BIOS or there's something |
[1331.80 --> 1334.56] wrong with how the PCIe routing works. |
[1334.82 --> 1338.68] So then I went and read the manual for far too long and figured it out. |
[1338.72 --> 1339.80] And I was like, oh, crap. |
[1339.98 --> 1343.00] So, I mean, it's still a good motherboard, right? |
[1343.00 --> 1345.32] So, it's kind of an edge case. |
[1345.82 --> 1346.00] Yeah. |
[1346.30 --> 1346.70] Yeah. |
[1346.78 --> 1350.54] But I mean, there's only three PCIe slots on the damn thing anyway because it's a micro |
[1350.54 --> 1351.38] ATX board. |
[1351.80 --> 1352.02] Yeah. |
[1352.52 --> 1357.24] So, would it have killed them to put an extra few lanes on it? |
[1357.24 --> 1363.34] I know the platform's capable because my consumer level board has enough lanes to have two PCIe |
[1363.34 --> 1367.16] slots and two M.2 slots and four M. |
[1367.52 --> 1370.10] What I'm trying to say is they've cheaped out somewhere. |
[1370.10 --> 1375.88] And it's just a frustrating place to cheap out on a server-grade motherboard. |
[1376.94 --> 1376.98] Yeah. |
[1377.04 --> 1378.26] You would think that's just it. |
[1378.92 --> 1380.00] That is just it. |
[1380.42 --> 1386.12] Like, if there was going to be a situation where you end up using or needing as much PCI |
[1386.12 --> 1392.18] possible, it's probably more likely to be in a server scenario than pretty much any desktop |
[1392.18 --> 1393.64] scenario except for gaming machines. |
[1393.64 --> 1403.14] And the upshot is, right, I've gone from, instead of having a two terabyte NVMe mirror, ZFS mirror |
[1403.14 --> 1409.00] for my Docker app data, I've gone down to a single ZFS drive, two terabyte NVMe drive. |
[1409.42 --> 1411.56] It's backed up to my backup server. |
[1411.74 --> 1418.46] So, if anything happens, which, funny story, I accidentally wiped one of the drives, one of |
[1418.46 --> 1423.24] the two terabyte drives that had a couple of VMs on it and my home assistant install on |
[1423.24 --> 1423.40] it. |
[1423.76 --> 1424.58] Oh, no. |
[1424.96 --> 1426.04] As part of my troubleshooting. |
[1426.20 --> 1430.20] Because I saw another PCIe NVMe drive pop up and I was like, that's it. |
[1430.38 --> 1431.64] Why isn't ZFS seeing it? |
[1431.66 --> 1433.32] I'll just try wiping the partition table. |
[1433.76 --> 1434.92] Like, that's going to work. |
[1436.10 --> 1436.80] Oh, no. |
[1436.86 --> 1438.28] So, your home assistant was down for a while. |
[1438.68 --> 1438.94] Yeah. |
[1439.02 --> 1439.94] It was down for about a day. |
[1440.20 --> 1440.36] Yeah. |
[1440.92 --> 1442.42] Oh, no. |
[1443.04 --> 1443.30] Yeah. |
[1443.30 --> 1447.56] And then, well, it's a good test because I was able to test the backups of several different |
[1447.56 --> 1448.02] things. |
[1448.26 --> 1452.92] You know, I used Syncoid to replicate to my local backup and really it just vindicated |
[1452.92 --> 1456.54] why I have an on-site backup as well as off-site. |
[1456.76 --> 1463.14] Because restoring the three, four hundred gigabytes over the LAN, over gigabit, was an |
[1463.14 --> 1463.42] hour. |
[1463.98 --> 1467.22] Whereas doing it from my dad's in England would have taken me weeks. |
[1467.84 --> 1468.00] Yeah. |
[1468.18 --> 1471.86] It's not complete just having one, but having both, that's really where I feel comfortable. |
[1472.24 --> 1472.98] And you're right. |
[1472.98 --> 1474.60] It's, oh, man. |
[1474.72 --> 1479.48] Oh, I can't even imagine how stressed I would be if I wiped out home assistant because it |
[1479.48 --> 1484.08] kind of, it's kind of become integral to how the RV functions these days. |
[1484.42 --> 1488.22] So, it would be like systems are offline and everything's running on manual mode. |
[1488.38 --> 1488.64] I don't know. |
[1488.90 --> 1492.32] Well, we have motion sensor lights in the kitchen and I walked in the kitchen in the evening. |
[1492.42 --> 1494.86] I was like, why aren't the damn lights turning on? |
[1495.18 --> 1498.96] Oh, and then the conversation with the wife has to be pretty awkward too. |
[1499.22 --> 1500.02] Like, that's. |
[1500.46 --> 1501.88] Oh, she knew something was up. |
[1501.88 --> 1503.58] I think she calls it a nerd rage. |
[1504.46 --> 1504.76] Oh, sure. |
[1504.84 --> 1505.06] Yeah. |
[1505.38 --> 1505.70] Right. |
[1505.72 --> 1506.08] Of course. |
[1506.18 --> 1508.76] She must have been, she must have been aware something was going down just from that. |
[1509.12 --> 1514.82] But, you know, I just like, uh, cause it's not, it's, it's the, the house isn't working. |
[1514.96 --> 1516.58] There's that factor, which is embarrassing. |
[1516.58 --> 1519.10] Then there's the fact that you're the one that set it all up. |
[1519.10 --> 1520.36] So it operates like that. |
