thanks mercutio: freebsd has broken virtio drivers?
or just non-default? ***: Ehtyar has quit IRC (Quit: There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.) raouldlv: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen
er, We use KVM/QEMU, providing full hardware virtualization, not containers or jails.
from arp site
so freebsd xen paravirt optimizations wouldnt work ***: DaCa has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) up_the_irons: raouldlv: right, don't use xen paravirt optimizations, we don't use xen mercutio: kvm virtual drivers may work though ***: DaCa has joined #arpnetworks

heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) mercutio: arenlor: my disk i/o under openbsd is slow
16mb/sec arenlor: mercutio: How are you measuring it? mercutio: # time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
104857600 bytes transferred in 6.509 secs (16108084 bytes/sec)
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100 0.00s user 2.99s system 45% cpu 6.523 total
it still goes ok
it's not laggy slow disk i/o
just not high bw
it's also high cpu arenlor: 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 30.0462 s, 3.5 MB/s real 0m30.169s user 0m0.012s sys 0m14.133s mercutio: wtf
you're way slower arenlor: 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.484618 s, 216 MB/s real 0m0.542s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.364s
Those are my two VPS. mercutio: wow huge diff arenlor: 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.695955 s, 151 MB/s real 0m0.758s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.300s mercutio: you should have conv=fdatasync
but openbsd doesn't support it arenlor: That is my tower set next to me.
mercutio: They're all debian 6.0
So slow disk speed could just be that you're on a busy box. mercutio: # time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100 conv=fdatasync
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.289063 s, 363 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100 conv=fdatasync 0.00s user 0.23s system 72% cpu 0.324 total arenlor: Although, up_the_irons: WTF with 3.5 MB/s? mercutio: that's an ubuntu vm somewhere else
you may not have virtio enabled? arenlor: mercutio: I didn't customize anything.
Both the 3.5 MB/s and 216 MB/s are configured the same. mercutio: weird
maybe virtio on host not enabled on one arenlor: I think it's just a heavy box.
Which makes me that much more worried about its uptime. -: arenlor has a backup of everything though mercutio: there may be a bad disk? arenlor: mercutio: He said he ran a check on it the other day and it was running okay.
So there may not be any need to optimize, it could just be that you have someone (or more than one) not being super friendly with disk I/O ***: CaZe has joined #arpnetworks

xcat has joined #arpnetworks xcat: hi there, been looking around the portal but didn't find any clear direcitons on how to reload my VM if I'd like to do that? is there simple button I Can click to perform that action? jpalmer: xcat: as in, reinstall from the cd or something? xcat: yeah, or just an os reload up_the_irons: xcat: email support@arpnetworks.com with your vps uuid and that you would like your vps reset to "factory defaults" xcat: ok, thank you up_the_irons: np jpalmer: xcat: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os may help. if you want to reinstall with the same OS that you ordered it with, the cd is already loaded. if you want a newer version, or different OS.. you have to ask support to change media
http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os xcat: I figured out my issue though, I didn't know I had the ability VNC into the console
screwed up my root password when typing last night, couldn't get in this morning
thanks for your prompt response, so far so good with the service :) jpalmer: xcat: you'll love ARP. the people in this channel are mostly longtime customers. we wouldn't be here if ARP didn't rock. ***: Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks xcat: thanks :) Yeah I looked around for a while but I read really good reviews about ARP
almost went with rootBSD
not a whole lot of bsd cloud providers out there
at least legit ones, it seems jdoe: not a lot of decent vps providers at all :P ***: dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks
