[00:23] <raouldlv> kk
[00:23] <raouldlv> thanks
[00:27] <mercutio> freebsd has broken virtio drivers?
[00:27] <mercutio> or just non-default?

[01:03] <raouldlv> http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen
[01:04] <raouldlv> er, We use KVM/QEMU, providing full hardware virtualization, not containers or jails.
[01:04] <raouldlv> from arp site
[01:05] <raouldlv> so freebsd xen paravirt optimizations wouldnt work
[01:06] *** DaCa has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
[01:26] <up_the_irons> raouldlv: right, don't use xen paravirt optimizations, we don't use xen
[01:49] <mercutio> kvm virtual drivers may work though

[04:23] <arenlor> Honestly, how much optimization are you hoping to pick up that way? My VPS has always run great with nothing special done to it.

[04:49] <mercutio> arenlor: my disk i/o under openbsd is slow
[04:50] <mercutio> 16mb/sec
[04:50] <arenlor> mercutio: How are you measuring it?
[04:50] <mercutio> # time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100
[04:50] <mercutio> 100+0 records in
[04:50] <mercutio> 100+0 records out
[04:50] <mercutio> 104857600 bytes transferred in 6.509 secs (16108084 bytes/sec)
[04:50] <mercutio> dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100  0.00s user 2.99s system 45% cpu 6.523 total
[04:50] <mercutio> it still goes ok
[04:51] <mercutio> it's not laggy slow disk i/o
[04:51] <mercutio> just not high bw
[04:51] <mercutio> it's also high cpu
[04:52] <arenlor> 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 30.0462 s, 3.5 MB/s real    0m30.169s user    0m0.012s sys     0m14.133s
[04:52] <mercutio> wtf
[04:52] <mercutio> you're way slower
[04:52] <arenlor> 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.484618 s, 216 MB/s real    0m0.542s user    0m0.000s sys     0m0.364s
[04:53] <arenlor> Those are my two VPS.
[04:53] <mercutio> wow huge diff
[04:53] <arenlor> 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.695955 s, 151 MB/s real    0m0.758s user    0m0.000s sys     0m0.300s
[04:53] <mercutio> you should have conv=fdatasync
[04:53] <mercutio> but openbsd doesn't support it
[04:53] <arenlor> That is my tower set next to me.
[04:53] <arenlor> mercutio: They're all debian 6.0
[04:54] <arenlor> So slow disk speed could just be that you're on a busy box.
[04:54] <mercutio>  #  time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=testzero count=100 conv=fdatasync
[04:54] <mercutio> 100+0 records in
[04:54] <mercutio> 100+0 records out

[04:54] <arenlor> Although, up_the_irons: WTF with 3.5 MB/s?
[04:54] <mercutio> that's an ubuntu vm somewhere else
[04:55] <mercutio> you may not have virtio enabled?
[04:55] <arenlor> mercutio: I didn't customize anything.
[04:55] <arenlor> Both the 3.5 MB/s and 216 MB/s are configured the same.
[04:55] <mercutio> weird
[04:55] <mercutio> maybe virtio on host not enabled on one
[04:56] <arenlor> I think it's just a heavy box.
[04:56] <arenlor> Which makes me that much more worried about its uptime.
[04:56] * arenlor has a backup of everything though
[04:58] <mercutio> there may be a bad disk?
[04:59] <arenlor> mercutio: He said he ran a check on it the other day and it was running okay.
[05:01] <arenlor> 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

[16:24] <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?
[16:32] <jpalmer> xcat:  as in, reinstall from the cd or something?
[16:32] <xcat> yeah, or just an os reload
[16:33] <up_the_irons> xcat: email support@arpnetworks.com with your vps uuid and that you would like your vps reset to "factory defaults"
[16:33] <xcat> ok, thank you
[16:33] <up_the_irons> np
[16:33] <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
[16:33] <jpalmer> http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os
[16:33] <xcat> I figured out my issue though, I didn't know I had the ability VNC into the console
[16:33] <xcat> screwed up my root password when typing last night, couldn't get in this morning
[16:33] <xcat> thanks for your prompt response, so far so good with the service :)
[16:34] <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.
[16:34] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks
[16:35] <xcat> thanks :) Yeah I looked around for a while but I read really good reviews about ARP
[16:35] <xcat> almost went with rootBSD
[16:35] <xcat> not a whole lot of bsd cloud providers out there
[16:35] <xcat> at least legit ones, it seems
[16:37] <jdoe> not a lot of decent vps providers at all :P
