[11:04] *** Webhostbudd has joined #arpnetworks [11:06] openbsd recently had the drivers committed to current. hence me 'testing' for 'kicks' [11:12] *** Guest52221 is now known as pjs [11:18] ahh [11:18] neat [11:19] that was one of my complaints with obsd on arp, the disk performance. [11:19] I'm surprised it got committed, given how much *@openbsd.org hates on virtualization. [11:27] *** easymac has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [11:35] jdoe: Know why that is? Myself, not really following OpenBSD that closely, always assumed there were simply a lack of developer resources to put on virtualization support? [11:36] jdoe: someone who supports something well is a good argument for it. [11:36] they believe (strongly) that it's insecure. [11:36] which is true, but not an entirely useful point of view. [11:37] if your #1 goal is security, it is useful. [11:37] there are any number of assumptions about the security of real hardware that can be misnomers at best on virtual hardware. [11:38] I'd be running on physical hardware if I weren't so cost constrained. I setup some basic services at arpnetworks but anything I need to 'secure' like confidential client data and the like is on physical servers under my control. [11:39] toddf: right, but they provide other insecure things too. [11:39] they have their reworked apache, but provide apache2 in ports, etc. [11:40] (because people want to use it) [11:40] base -> should be secure; ports -> convenience bits for people who know the pro/con benifits of adding said software [11:42] right, I'm just saying that "virtualization is bad" isn't a useful argument against including virtio etc. [11:43] stop violently agreeing with each other =] [11:44] ;-) [11:44] lots of openbsd devs use qemu for testing various bits of hackery. ;-) [12:20] can I set the logging level on handlers? I have it writing to sys.stderr, but it only shows info messages. [12:21] ur. sorry, mischan [12:37] I'm giving i3 a shot here [12:37] So far so good [12:38] I can see mercutio's point of liking being able to see many things at once [13:18] *** easymac has joined #arpnetworks [13:18] *** easymac has quit IRC (Changing host) [13:18] *** easymac has joined #arpnetworks [14:14] toddf: our linux VMs use virtio (and yeah, they don't show in the BIOS), but it still boots. others have tried to get virtio to work on freebsd, and failed (boot problems) [14:17] i want to use virtio with openbsd sometime too [14:17] after experimenting with freebsd hvm on xen, and how much diff the virtio drivers made [14:17] i'm even more keen [14:17] it seems qemu uses a LOT of cpu when doing emulation [14:21] up_the_irons: I'm quite sure it has to do with bios not showing it as a drive [14:21] roger [14:28] given I've used proxmox to boot openbsd with virtio I'd be willing to bet it has to do with the bios you're using. understandably you can't upgrade because of the need to provide cdrom boot options, but there it is anyway. ;-) [14:31] qemu removed cd boot options? [14:32] not at all. it is in the process of changing the cmdline stuff, but as of 1.1.1 it still boots off cd no problemo [14:45] i thikn qemu upgraded their bios at some point [14:45] yes, it didn't provide a way to select the cdrom from a remote vnc session [14:46] f1? [14:47] f1 does nothing heh [14:49] 'provide cdrom boot options' .. if you've ever watched your vps boot via vnc you'll note that there is an F* key to hit to select a cdrom for 'rescuing your own os' if necessary [14:49] hmm [14:50] rather than change boot order [14:50] changing boot order would require host os access .. ;-) [14:50] or a cp option [14:51] hmm [14:51] ctrl-alt-2 sets virtio console [14:51] which shows nothing [14:52] virtio console would be another driver supported by the os, nothing more, like a com port etc [14:53] yeh [14:53] it would be nice to have :) [14:53] but i'm not holding up hopes of openbsd adding it [14:54] toddf: actually, the bios on newer qemu (seabios) provides boot options, just not enabled by default (for some genius reason); i figured that out a month or so ago, and recompiled it to show the standard "F12 to choose boot device". I can, in fact, provide you a beta VM on that machine if you want to test things out. [14:54] well, so far the virtio disk is a bust because the bios can't provide proper access, and the virtio network is a bust, presumably because the version tested with openbsd is not what arpnetworks is using, therefore boot hangs in 'vio_wait' while ifconfig fails to return. I'll mention if I ever get it working but no guarantees ;-) [14:55] spice would be nice too [14:55] that host has been running our cacti server, and a couple other things, for a couple months now. i think it's pretty stable at this point. i still gotta give it a couple more reboots to make sure some things start on boot, but that's about it. [14:55] if you want to provide new bios with vio disk and vio + em on my latest vps I'd be happy to test. [14:55] can i get a beta vm to try out the virtio up_the_irons ? [14:56] mercutio: yeah, send me a support ticket with what you want. you'll need an available IP (or use IPv6) [14:57] so specify which IP to assign [14:57] oh yip [14:57] toddf: i would have to migrate the VM to the new host (unless there is nothing on it that you need, i'll just reprovision it there, without migration [faster for me]) [14:57] well i just want to test the virtual i/o :) [14:58] mercutio: you'd have to install w/out virtual i/o given the ramdisks don't provide it by default yet [14:58] toddf: i understand that [14:58] i thought you needed custom kernel [14:58] up_the_irons: I've done nothing but a basic re-install. feel free to reprovision to new host ;-) [14:59] mercutio: GENERIC as of last month has virtual io by default. disk + net supported. [14:59] oh wow [14:59] that's really something :) [15:00] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [15:01] it's the same vlan right up_the_irons ? [15:01] thats why he said you'd need a spare IPv4 IP or just use IPv6 [15:01] yip [15:01] ok [15:01] mercutio: yeah same vlan [15:02] sent email [15:02] mercutio: roger. don't expect it quick; 1st of the month so billing + accounting takes priority for a few days :) [15:02] all good [15:02] mercutio: but i'm genuinly interested in more people beta testing it. only jpalmer signed up so far (and i have a feeling hasn't really used it ;) [15:03] heh [15:03] i just want to check out the virtio [15:03] cos i have a feeling it's slowing things down [15:03] but i don't want to go and stick ubuntu on or soemthing to check [15:04] it's pretty smooth slow though [15:04] if everything goes well, that server will become the new model (2nd generation) for our vps hosting services. faster, lower power usage, more ram, cheaper, newer OS, and newer kvm/qemu! [15:04] it's not like really fast.. then huge huge delays [15:04] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [15:04] heh [15:04] have you looked into spice? [15:04] btw linux 3.6 just came out [15:04] they removed the route cache [15:04] not much [15:04] and it's meant to be a "long time" version [15:04] why is that? [15:05] the route cache was often leading to performance degradation [15:05] i think it's like less code probably just to not cache routes [15:05] and optimise the lookups [15:06] or at least more deterministic [15:06] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=89aef8921bfbac22f00e04f8450f6e447db13e42 [15:08] mercutio: interesting stuff [15:08] i'm actually surprised how many improvements have been going into linux networking code recently [15:09] like linux 3.6 is quite far ahead of linux 2.6.18 [15:09] oh 2.6.18 is 5 years old [15:09] err, 6 years old [15:10] mercutio: I'm not. linux networking code has always been a game of 'oh it is busted, lets re-write, re-do, re-vamp, re-org, newer is always better'. It's hilarious from a bsd perspective where incremental changes over decades tend to provide solid robust dependable performance ;-) [15:10] "I'm not" -> aka surprised [15:10] heh [15:10] i remember in like linux 2.2 days having a bug where i had to disable timestamps [15:10] or lose connectivity to lots of hosts [15:10] i think it was 2.2 [15:11] linux 2.0 was more bsd like in their networking though wasn't it? [15:11] but yeah lot sof the linux stuff recently is outside implemented "good ideas" [15:12] like tcp small queues, tcp fast open, byte queue limits [15:13] mercutio: toddf : yeah i've looked into linux networking code when i started our vps platform, to learn about vlans, bridging, etc... (everything that goes into making our networking stack hum), and i must say it was pretty shitty. yet, it still works. So, if it is shitty and works, is it still shitty? you be the judge. i use it b/c it is pragmatic, but, for example, FreeBSD's networking [15:13] lnstat -s1 -i1 -c-1 -f rt_cache [15:13] code is so much cleaner and makes more sense [15:13] apparently that command will show information about the rout ecache [15:13] *** userZero has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [15:14] i've only looked at openbsd and linux for any period of time [15:14] but i was surprised how hard i found linux's code [15:14] after looking at openbsd's code [15:14] up_the_irons: I don't argue that it works. it's just 'fun' to see it constantly changing .. hard to have that much change and not have hiccups and burps along the way ;-) [15:14] i'm also amused by how much quicker openbsd builds than linux [15:15] toddf: for sure [15:15] the linux kernel tree is roughly the size of the openbsd base + kernel .. though that might be skewed from the past. [15:15] toddf: it's probably bigger now [15:16] # du -sh ./ [15:16] 891M ./ [15:16] erk [15:16] that was /usr/src/linux [15:16] (cvs)-[src]-# du -sh ./ [15:16] 400M ./ [15:17] there's lusca in that second one too for some reason [15:17] but anyway [15:17] linux is huge [15:18] i think freebsd is bigger than openbsd though [15:43] comparing source code trees is silly, since ~95% of the linux kernel is drivers. [15:45] drivers have never caused problems though [15:45] up_the_irons: are you looking for any particular OS for testers? [15:45] not that you're wrong, but... [15:45] jdoe: i'll take anything [15:47] up_the_irons: uh, alright, count me in I guess. [15:47] what am I testing? Haha. [15:48] jdoe: it's a newer kvm/qemu with newer base OS [15:48] jdoe: i'm mainly judging the stability of the VMs and host [15:48] jdoe: so i would say, load up what you're familiar with, and use it normally [15:49] jdoe: send support@ a request with a free IP address (or IPv6) and which OS you want pre-loaded (or ISO if you wanna do it yourself) [15:51] sent. [15:52] I'll test too [15:52] I love new shit [15:55] I'll test... as soon as I have an account/vps :) [15:55] up_the_irons: sent [16:03] *** sako_ has joined #arpnetworks [16:05] *** sako_ has quit IRC (Client Quit) [16:05] *** sako has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [16:25] Lefty: cool [16:25] bryc3c: it's coming, just a little busy today [16:27] up_the_irons: no worries, I'm not pressing.

[17:42] but jumping to 12 from 2 [17:42] weechat is alt+j ## [17:42] is annoying [17:42] or did they have to change it for no fucking reason other than to be different [17:42] oh [17:42] alt-j needs 02 [17:42] to go to 2 [17:44] it does look nicer with that..
