Would you be able to run some dd tests?

Can see that its quite cpu intensive. i am just not sure what kind of performance I should expect. Not planning to saturate the physical host, but just thinking "what if I need to copy big chunk of data".. go unencrypted and dont wait or go encrypted and go for a [06:52] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [06:52] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [07:07] softraid crypto is not designed to saturate disks with io, it is designed to be secure. I'm not sure I've seen better than 10-16mb/s on physical hosts. [07:09] wah.. physical host itself.. i actually havent tried.. only playing with VPS.. [07:09] my physical laptop for example sustains reads of 8-10mb/s in raidC whereas the physcal disk goes from 50mb - 72mb/s [07:09] ok [07:10] if you are copying large data and there is no timeout, it will just take longer, thats all [07:10] if you are needing encryption, it will be worth it ;-) [07:12] or maybe do a tradeoff, one partition (/) not encrypted, and /foo using softraid c [07:57] tends to not need writes, if you need encryption, whole disk encryption seems best, otherwise a compromised kernel etc could weaken your security [07:57] imho [08:04] hmm yeah.. after we come to the definition of "security" on a VPS :) [08:45] *shrug* .. groveling in mem could reveal keys so yes indeed ;-) [09:38] *** toddf has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [09:38] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [09:38] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o toddf [10:11] *** ixokai__ has joined #arpnetworks [10:11] *** ixokai__ has quit IRC (Changing host) [10:11] *** ixokai__ has joined #arpnetworks [10:14] *** ixokai_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [11:43] *** robonerd has joined #arpnetworks [11:45] *** gbayley has joined #arpnetworks [12:23] dead quiet in here [12:27] *** btfx has joined #arpnetworks [12:30] gbayley: thats cuz our VPS's are running so well, we don't have any support questions to ask :/ [12:30] hehe [12:32] I'm trying to provision an additional one [12:32] but Garry seems to be away today [12:54] *** gbayley_ has joined #arpnetworks [12:57] *** raptelan_ has joined #arpnetworks [12:57] *** josephb_ has joined #arpnetworks [13:00] *** gbayley has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [13:01] awesome [13:01] watching myself ping out [13:01] *** toddf has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** Guest60400 has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** doomviki1g has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** josephb has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** raptelan has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:01] *** DaCa has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:02] *** gbayley_ has quit IRC (Quit: outta here) [13:03] *** btfx has left [13:06] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [13:06] *** Guest60400 has joined #arpnetworks [13:06] *** doomviki1g has joined #arpnetworks [13:06] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks [13:06] *** DaCa has joined #arpnetworks [13:06] *** adams.freenode.net sets mode: +o toddf [13:23] *** toddf has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:23] *** Guest60400 has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:23] *** doomviki1g has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:23] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:23] *** DaCa has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:24] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [13:24] *** Guest60400 has joined #arpnetworks [13:24] *** doomviki1g has joined #arpnetworks [13:24] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks [13:24] *** DaCa has joined #arpnetworks [13:24] *** adams.freenode.net sets mode: +o toddf [13:37] *** doomviking has joined #arpnetworks [13:38] *** toddf has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:38] *** Guest60400 has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:38] *** doomviki1g has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:38] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:38] *** DaCa has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [13:41] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [13:41] *** Guest60400 has joined #arpnetworks [13:41] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks [13:41] *** DaCa has joined #arpnetworks [15:36] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [16:56] netsplit central [16:58] hahaha [16:58] welcome to netsplitopia [16:59] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [16:59] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [17:08] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [17:18] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [17:30] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [17:30] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [18:42] *** mnathani has joined #arpnetworks [18:44] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [18:46] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [18:46] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [19:00] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [20:09] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [20:09] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [20:27] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [20:56] *** mercutio has joined #arpnetworks [22:50] *** meingtsla has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [22:59] *** meingtsla has joined #arpnetworks
