up_the_ironsnope [11:24]
jdoeweird, my vps just went unresponsive for a minute or three, both from here and from the uk.
er... "here" = bc
only thing I was doing was untarring perl.
[11:26]
up_the_ironsthings look fine over here [11:28]
***fink_ has joined #arpnetworks [11:30]
jdoejdoe shrugs.
yeah I've got nothing useful sorry, didn't think to traceroute.

jdoea question for any openbsd users... is there any tuning to be done? I'm relatively new both to obsd and kvm (so I don't pretend to know which I should be looking at) but I'm unimpressed with the performance. It's been compiling/testing perl for about 45 minutes now. [12:40]
up_the_ironsLOL [12:41]
vcshmmm... looks like i will be needing to upgrade my storage soon
hehe
its .50 a gb a month right?
[12:41]
jdoeI'm not new to vpses, I know disk performance can suck, but whatever's going on here seems a little above-and-beyond, you know? [12:42]
up_the_ironsjdoe: enable soft updates: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#SoftUpdates [12:43]
jdoecan I remount with that, or will I need to reboot? [12:44]
toddfjdoe: several tuning things you might want depending on what you're running, no special tuning specifically for kvm beyond 'disable mpbios' [12:44]
up_the_ironsjdoe: toddf is the man to ask about tuning :) [12:45]
jdoetoddf: 99% of the time just irssi. I wasn't aware there was even an issue (things seemed pokey, but I chalked it up to latency/virtualization) until I tried compiling this. [12:46]
nestaits the soft updates
ya need em with obsd
or else everything takes years
:)
[12:47]
toddfsome would say your data is less safe, I'm not convinced, but be aware of what you are doing when you go beyond defaults [12:48]
up_the_ironsjdoe: you can also add "noatime" to fstab [12:48]
jdoeI don't think this is an io issue. [12:49]
toddfsoftdeps is what I enable by default also, fwiw [12:49]
jdoevmstat shows zero io, ~30-50% cpu, and what looks like a monumental number of interrupts (but might not be) [12:49]
toddfjust if you have issues try disabling it as a first stab [12:49]
jdoetoddf: not super worried about them, fbsd has used softupdates as the default for quite a while.
I dunno, it's showing ~130-140k interrupts/s (presumably because perl is testing Benchmark right now, timer interrupts?) ... I don't know what's normal, but that sure sounds high.
[12:50]
toddfbuilding in kvm does take more time than outside [12:52]
jdoeyeah I know.
... 55 minutes now though, that's excessive.
(I was wrong, fyi I meant syscalls not interrupts...)
[12:54]
toddfsyscalls and perl regress definately make sense then
syscalls are things like 'open' 'close' 'read' 'write' etc
[12:56]
jdoeyeah I was just reading the vmstat man page wrong... [12:58]

jpalmerjpalmer is trying to implement 802.1x on a wireless network. havin never done it before. [14:46]
jdoeI've only half-done it myself, but I don't think it's difficult... [14:59]
jpalmerwell, it's the iPhone side of things that I'm not certain of. I mean, setting up radius, and configuring a switch or AP to use it is pretty trivial. [15:01]
***vapor has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) [15:07]
jdoeI would imagine you just give the iphone the appropriate credentials.
and that's the end of it.
though I never got that far (and wasn't going to use it with an iphone anyway)

GWhat sorta uptime do the VPS' typically get? [18:56]
up_the_ironsi wonder who has the highest uptime here [18:59]
jpalmerG, uptime is a poor indicator of quality. in fact, its a poor indicator of anything meaningful. what do you *really* want to know? [18:59]
up_the_ironsmy first server:
$ w
19:43:12 up 463 days, 15:59, 3 users, load average: 1.17, 1.04, 1.11
cd $home
[19:00]
Gjpalmer: people that manage to keep their servers up for ages tend to be a good source for stability indicators, I don't normally ask about uptime, and I agree, but yeah
up_the_irons: thanks for that
[19:01]
***cubelogic has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [19:02]
jpalmerG, my VPS has been rock solid, aside from a bad piece of software I installed (memory leak, locked it up a couple times before I found the issue) [19:02]
GI like the fact that it's KVM too [19:03]
jpalmer(but you can't blame the provider when installing poor software.. hehe) [19:03]
Gjpalmer: I normally measure the decency of machine stability by time since last unexpected shutdown :) [19:03]
finkG: I restart for freebsd updates [19:04]
jpalmersure, but machine stability and provider stability aren't quite the same thing.
the provider can be SOLID as hell.. but if your particular setup/configuration is running you out of resources.. it can be pretty unstable. it's important to not confuse the two.

jdoeup_the_irons: "cd $home"?
up_the_irons: "cd" ;)
though if that's one of those muscle memory things, I *totally* understand.
I still catch myself doing cat | grep occasionally...
[19:35]
Gjdoe: oh that one I do a lot :P
in fact once or twice I've down cat | less
:P

mike-burnsThe Unix Programming Environment actually mentions that "<foo" is used less than "cat foo|", simply because pipes are so much more general. [21:22]
Gmike-burns: sounds about right to be
*me
mike-burns: I keep forgetting about using < foo

jdoemike-burns: it's also less intuitive ... we write left to right, [task1] -> [task2] is more natural than [task1] <- [task2]
er
[task2] <- [task1]
haha
