they need to have some incentive so that people switch over to ipv6 quicker... something like, free cookies delivered to your door-step only available by visiting freecookies.com via ipv6
I know I'd visit it...
:P
amdprophet: srsly, me too
ww: CQ CQ
with QEMU, do I need to set the system clock? or is that tied to the host?
You need to set it.
thank you mike-burns
what is the port speed for the VPS's?
port?
nm, found it http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/vps/what-is-the-uplink-speed-of-a-vps
100% of  751 kB  402 kBps
win 1
I won a few!
is there a link to the AUP somewhere?
ah, missed it - http://www.arpnetworks.com/tos
I'd like to do an external vulnerability assessment on my box... do I need to give a certain amount of time notice, provide source IPs, etc?
unless you're generating undue traffic, you're the only one that will complain if your box gets assessed
be aware ssh ports are firewalled via connection per second rate limitation, other than that things are wide open before it gets to your box
cool, thanks
Hello. I'm getting connection refused when trying to SSH to my VPS. Is there anything going on right now that could cause this?
mine is working fine
new firewall rule?
nope.
login using VNC
info on arpnetworks website
then from there you can check it out
connection refused
nm, looks like it was a wonky combo if wireless, wired, and vpn all connected at once
thats what i get for multitasking
lol
yeah i can imagine all that may not play too nicely
just do iscsi testing over v6 over wifi over ipsec like I do to make it a complete and fun day
toddf: you terrify me
sounds fun, though i dont know iscsi, i stick to R&S
Lefty: muhahahaha
toddf: throw in pppoe
c
oops
azmarco: guess I should test pipex(4)
why not
losing money was a business model once
over wifi?
your laptop not my servers but sure, probably want IPSec in there as well regardless
... actually that's not the worst idea in the world for local (within arp) backup storage...
toddf, might work nicely for native v6 but most people tunnel and iscsi works better in a non-routed environment.
vapor: 'better' != 'only use' ... people write disk drivers to store blocks in gmail imap folders, so iscsi over ipsec over v6 seems not far fetched
toddf, a block initiator/terminator vs imap/davfs is 100% different
don't think iscsi is very fiable over high latency/normal mtu conenctions
s/fiable/viable
any outages atm?
vapor: I'd think that a saturated internet connection and wifi and ipsec and v6 testing on my laptop proving that it works just fine would make it viable for disk storage space where speed is not essential, backups or whatever...
toddf: It's snowing .(
AND I'M GOING TO WORK
toddf: long time member?
hsien: just over a year
hehe ok
any recent disconnects from this name in recent irc history?
I've setup some iSCSI over v6 for my arp vps for some temporary additional disk space, works well enough for occasional use
hsein: my nick or yours?
mine :)
just trying to determine when my vps became unresponsive
would be sweet if we got a search tool for irc logs
my records show oct 20th to be the last time you 'quit' on us, then somehow I missed any join notification in my logs (I'm logging not from my vps..)
ok thanks!
hm, i wonder what happend
hope i havent been pwned
was it a reboot or ? sometimes the thundering hurd of disk io stalls out some vps's but that's pretty rare, and now that crontab entries are altered slightly it's not known to happen unless multiple vps owners hit disk io hard and heavy for prolonged periods
nothing on my part
im not even able to access oob access
hm, maybe its a billing issue
but i am sure i would get some type of notification if that were the case
there have been scenarios where the 'kvm' userland process was stuck and a hard shutdown then 'boot' of the vps took care of the issue
if you can't hit either serial console or vnc that is a clue that you should try that
yeah i tried a graceful shutdown and a boot, nothing yet
when you get to the point that you are willing to try the hard shutdown then boot, it would be my next recommendation
lol ok
yeah havent gotten there yet, but almost
given that the vnc connection goes straight to the vps process, if the vnc connection is refused, you are likely not going to have success with soft shutdown
good point
worth a shot
soft shutdown == blindly doing equiv of 'telnet kvmhost qemucmdpromptport' and sending whatever kvm command tells it to gracefully use acpi to tell the guest os to shutdown
hard shutdown == kill -9 your kvm userland process
boot == start your kvm userland process if it's not already running
well cross your fingers!
if things got more fancy, we'd get a status report on if the soft shutdown succeeded... and separtely have a 'hard reboot' or a 'soft reboot' knob, combo of 'soft shutdown + boot' and 'hard shutdown + boot' but that's only fluff, we got the meat in any event
nothing yet
you have mailed support@ by this point, right?
yeah
well, the hard shutdown + boot tends to be the most likely to work, if vnc console isn't usable then you're either not hitting vnc console before your os does a 'halt + poweroff' or something else is amiss
sorry, I have no further advice ;-(
:) no worries bro, you have helped plenty
i will just wait until support can respong
respond even
ok, looks like it was a billing issue ;x
