[14:05] NFS? [14:05] or "in the same box" [14:06] or something else like eSATA? [14:06] just curious, because at $client, it's all NFS-mounted, exported from Solaris boxes running ZFS [14:06] and I seem to recall NFS... well... sucks. [14:06] its in the same machine [14:07] both pairs of the RAID in the same machine too? [14:07] so if the CPU went dead there, someone would have to physically move it around? [14:07] the hard drives would be removed from the dead machine and placed into an identical spare [14:08] the spare is booted and it would look exactly like the old box [14:08] I don't suppose that happens very often though. :) [14:10] the only machine that had a hardware failure was mercury in december. the raid controller failed [14:10] the controller also corrupted the disks, so that was a disaster to say the least [14:10] yeah, that'd be a mess. [14:10] Fuck LSI(tm) [14:10] it was a MegaRAID card. Never Again [14:11] i replaced it with a 3ware 9650SE, the same like all my other boxes, and haven't had any issues [14:15] up_the_irons: when that LSI card blew up what was the recovery strategy? Data forensics or rely on customers' backups? [14:16] reardencode: customer backups [14:16] figured -- it'd be cool if you could offer a snapshotting service for our LVM devices though. [14:17] reardencode: i've thought about it, but then it really decreases performance (dunno if you've worked with LVM snapshots before, but they really kill performance on the volume with snapshots enabled) [14:17] I haven't, gotcha. [14:18] now, perhaps some people don't need screaming performance, but would like backups. so that would be a fair trade [14:19] I gotta say, I'm loving having disks that don't suck after moving to ARP from 1and1 (my leased server there had two of the slowest SATA disks ever in it) [14:20] What spindle speed are your boxen? [14:21] reardencode: it's all solid state [14:21] arp is the most advanced vps provider on the planet [14:21] ::blink blink:: that would 'splain the speed and the cost per GB [14:24] reardencode: 7200 rpm [14:24] reardencode: i think fink was kidding, i don't have solid state disks [14:25] unless they melt into a solid piece of metal. :) [14:25] reardencode: i believe the performance gain in my setup is the hardware RAID 10 and a good controller [14:25] solid? check. state? useless. :) [14:25] haha [14:25] gotcha, yeah, I'm seeing 180MB/s sequential, which is in SSD territory [14:25] fink: damn you for taking advantage of the gullible. [14:25] solid state BALLS [14:26] reardencode: how are you reaching that benchmark? [14:26] up_the_irons: just the naive diskinfo -t [14:26] ah ok [14:27] and in that case, your prices-per-GB of storage is a bit high (not that I should complain considering your overall fantastic pricing) [14:27] :) [14:30] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: BAMPF!)
