2$ sudo ifconfig vio1 mtu 2024
2$ sudo ifconfig vio1 mtu 2025
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument
probably to fit inside 2k
and allow for tunneling overhead etc
toddf_: what should I do in order to be able to use this vio interface instead of em0 ?
I have the manpage but not the device
DaCa: if 'strings /bsd | grep -i vio_' is not empty, then you can send a request to support@ to change your network type from intel to virtio; perhaps do some benchmarks before and after; and also consider that if your kvr# is < kvr27 then I've seen the need to setup a cronjob to 'ifconfig vio0 down up' if your v6 gateway doesn't show up in 'ping6 -n -w -c 2 ff02::1%vio0'
toddf_: I am on kvr02, do you think it would be worth the trouble? how often should I check?
how long do you want to be hard down network wise if it stops responding?
right
I find this rather kludgy
I go a few days w/out incident then I'll get 15 in a row (I monitor once a minute)
my kvr27 and higher hosts have no issues, don't even have the cronjob
you are permitted to requst your vm migrate to a kvr27 or higher host
hello... any arpnetworks staff around?
vin: generally you are either a customer and know to email support@ or are a potential customer and might find it useful to chat with people here (generally happy, generally knowledgeable customers)
... vin quit 20 minutes ago :p
bah, I need to fix my irssi script to show in the channel when people part, sorry
maybe he'll read the log later? ;-)
toddf_: irssi does that by default
yes I know, I have a spiffy script that munges join/leave infos and apparently hides leave infos
makes nick changes 'prettier' to me aka
113920 -!- +milki <~milki@milki.ircmylife.com> <- milki_
instead of whatever it is that you see
if person hasn't talked recently i don't see their joins/parts/quits
For the longest time, I had joins/parts
lol my router rebooted...
For the longest time, I had joins/parts disabled entirely
staticsafe: that sounds pretty slick. is that a script?
brycec: no its built-in functionality
hm
I'll have to look into it when I'm settled again
I'm sure it could be implemented in irssi via a script, someone would just have to save infoz via a db (I would hope one would not waste mem on such trivial data)
irssi seldoms requires scripts :D
nya?
DaCa: toddf_ : let me point out that if your networking is not suffering any performance degradation, i don't see the benefit of going to vio at this time, more trouble than it is worth
yeah I should have pointed out to daca I'm more or less a) wanting to test vio(4) in general and b) in theory tracking down an issue with the older kvm + virtio that does not recur with newer kvm + virtio ..
:o
if I cared about sanity I'd simply go full virtio for convenience and request my older vps's go to kvr27 or higher
I have other things to concern myself with than that, like wishing that openafs + fuse would come to openbsd someday soon (given the isc licensed fuse implementation in progress), then I could upgrade all my vps'en to current so virtio would actually be an option ;-)
yeah
