[10:33]
RandalSchwartzHmm. Trying to remember how to see the console of a bare metal box
is that the IPMI URL?
I remember seeing some sort of virtual java thingy before... but not sure how to get to it
[10:33]
acf_RandalSchwartz: you need to connect to the management VPN (with your ARP OpenVPN credentials)
then you can use IPMI or the HTTP management interface
I think the URL (with RFC1918 address) is in the ARP portal
[10:37]
..... (idle for 20mn)
RandalSchwartzahh... yes, the VPN
now I remember
Hmm. still not connecting.... complained about not having the latest java
[10:59]
........ (idle for 37mn)
pyvpxyeah. then you have to white list the self signed jnlp
then it works. occasionally. (I'm on OS X, however)

and old java
[12:03]
RandalSchwartzYeah, I'm on OSX too [12:07]
mercutioi had problems from linux and windows too iirc
i hate java.
i think it works with java6 but not java7?
i sohuld probably try it again

[12:33]
Erick-my vps is down too
yup
[12:33]
pjsare you on kvr23? [12:34]
mercutiothere's something on twitter
saying that it's being investigated.
(i'm not on kvr)
err kvr23
[12:39]
pjsthanks! [12:42]
........ (idle for 36mn)
RandalSchwartzhow do you whitelist the self signed jnlp?
Oooh... it worked eventually. I can see the preview image
is there a way to connect to that console?
like with the VPS using VNC?
[13:18]
mercutiooh preview always worked
the vnc type thing is what i ahd issues with
good luck :)
[13:22]
RandalSchwartzahh... something like Remote Control -> Console Redirection -> Launch Console
for which I'm also getting that error message.
[13:22]
mercutiomaybe i shoudl try it too [13:22]
RandalSchwartzI downloaded the latest java... maybe that'll work [13:22]
mercutioi think older is better
i couldn't choose which
which is why i used virtualbox iirc
private key password verification failed
now i have to remember my private key
oh got it
[13:23]
RandalSchwartzAfter updating java, I no longer get the same error message.
no error message, but it still doesn't seem like it's launching my console
[13:25]
***jbergstroem has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [13:27]

TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
UDPv4 link local: [undef]
UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]208.79.89.251:1194
hmm i wonder if that's the reason
[13:29]
***jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks [13:36]
mercutiothe link local thing is just because it was set to nobind

mnathaniwhats the difference between TUN and TAP when talking about OpenVPN ? [15:43]
acf_tun and tap are both userland interfaces to the TCP/IP stack in the kernel [15:45]
bryceclayer 3 and layer 2 tunnels respectively [15:45]
acf_^ that [15:45]
brycectap = layer 2, with ethernet frames and all
tun = layer 3, simple point-to-point ip, routing
tap is good for bridging disperate networks that require the same broadcast domain
(also some platforms have quirks, notably windows)
And both sides must be configured identically
[15:45]
acf_often use of tap is discouraged due to the overhead of the Ethernet frame [15:47]
brycecAnd the overhead of useless/needless broadcast traffic ^ [15:48]
***jbergstroem has quit IRC (Excess Flood)
jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks
[15:49]
mnathaniwould my use case determine which one to use, for instance: I need an IP on my local subnet (via VPN) and access to machines whose default gateway is different from my pfSense box
a diagram would probably help here
[15:55]
acf_> I need an IP on my local subnet (via VPN)
if by "local subnet" you mean, an IP in the same broadcast domain
you need to use TAP
[15:56]
mnathaniif I get an ip outside the broadcast domain, machines would need to know how to get back to it using a route of some sort? [15:57]
acf_yea
you'd need a route on your default gateway (or upstream) that sends traffic across your vpn
[15:57]
brycecBut typically, pfSense handles all that for you ;) [15:57]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [15:57]
brycec9 out of 10 times, you want tun [15:58]
mnathanipfSense is not my internet gateway however [15:58]
brycecmethinks a diagram may be in order www.asciiflow.com [15:58]
mnathaniits running in a VM behind a Mikrotik NAT [15:59]
mercutioi never did figure out why my openvpn stopped working
i tried from windows too, and it broke there too.
[15:59]
brycecI blame up_the_irons >.>
<.<
[15:59]
mercutioi imagine it's because i'm running recent openvpn?
2.3.5
i can't think of any other reason. it used to work.
[15:59]
mnathanitcpdump to the rescue? [16:01]
mercutioi did [16:01]
brycecmercutio: Do you have any other active openvpn traffic? Openvpn defaults to binding to :1194 for its source port, and if that conflicted... [16:01]
mnathanis/tcp/udp [16:01]
BryceBot<mnathani> udpdump to the rescue? [16:01]
bryceclol [16:01]
mercutioi keep sending packets at arp, and getting nothing in response. [16:01]
brycecThen that sounds like an ARP problem [16:01]
mercutiobrycec: nothing else, and it gets through the first part.
yeah hopefully up_the_irons turns up sometime and i can ask him what he sees.
i did try tcp but it seems to be disabled, port just hangs.
[16:01]
brycecfwiw, I get no response either [16:04]
mercutioyour openvpn isn't working you mean? [16:04]
brycecso I'm inclined to think it's a bigger issue
I mean I can't get a response from ARP's openvpn
[16:04]
mercutiowith udp? [16:05]
brycec(I don't have creds, but I can't get *any* response)
yes
And I know openvpn works from this system
[16:05]
mercutiowell RandalSchwartz was having issues with ipmi
and my memory was hazy, so i wanted to check out the ipmi again
[16:05]
brycecbrycec hilights up_the_irons a couple of up_the_irons times [16:06]
RandalSchwartzyeah [16:06]
mercutiobut his vpn was working, because he had ipmi issues not vpn issues. [16:06]
brycecAnd do you both connect to 208.79.89.251 ? [16:06]
mercutioactually that's the other thing you should be able to do RandalSchwartz
you should be able to do ipmi serial console.
vpn1.cust.arpnetworks.com
yeah that ip bryce
[16:06]
RandalSchwartzI don't know what ipmi serial console is
I only know about using VNC to see the console
[16:07]
mercutioyou use ipmitool and get a serial console basically
i dunno if it's setup or not
[16:07]
RandalSchwartzright... this is all mystery words to me
I've never used a serial console on freebsd
[16:08]
mercutioipmitool -I lanplus -H <ip> -U <user> -P <pass> -o intelplus sol activate
it's eotmhing like that normally
[16:08]
brycecAlso, requires there to be something on the serial port :P [16:08]
mercutioyeah [16:08]
brycecmercutio: I knew what IP you used, since you announced that earlier. . Question is about what IP RandalSchwartz connects to :p [16:08]
RandalSchwartzso... if it worked, it would show some sort of login? [16:09]
mercutiooh brycec :)
yeah
[16:09]
brycecRandalSchwartz: if you have a tty running on that serial port, yes [16:09]
mercutioSOL Session operational. Use ~? for help
it'll say that first
[16:09]
brycecbut since you didn't know about it in the first place... we'll assume you haven't configured that :p [16:09]
RandalSchwartzyeah [16:09]
mercutioit's godawful
i hate ipmi
but it tends to work once it's setup,
and i'm pretty sure up_the_irons set it up
because i seem to remember being happily surprised :)
[16:10]
brycecup_the_irons setup the IPMI stuff probably, but since you're responsible for your own install, he wouldn't have configured a tty [16:10]
RandalSchwartzthe user/pass there is the same as the web behind the VPN
or is it my root user/pass?
[16:10]
brycecshould be the same as the web, I'd assume [16:11]
mercutioit's the same as the ipmi login on web interface
i'm pretty sure
[16:11]
RandalSchwartzI suppose I could follow this: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html [16:11]
brycec(since you're still connecting to the IPMI/BMC - it's not your root user/pass until you get a prompt from your box)
So long as FreeBSD recognizes the serial device
10.1 added some more IPMI serial device support too
[16:11]
RandalSchwartzUgh... this looks like if I do something wrong, I'll break it [16:12]
mercutioit should work in bios regardless [16:12]
RandalSchwartzand then it won't boot [16:12]
mercutiooh brycec ? [16:12]
RandalSchwartzand I won't be able to see it not boot [16:12]
brycecmercutio: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.1R/relnotes.html
The uart(4) driver has been updated to include support for the Intel® Lynx Point KT AMT serial port. [r266436]
[16:12]
RandalSchwartzand neil would be very mad [16:12]
mercutioi've got this problem with serial console slowing down normal console i/o [16:12]
RandalSchwartzthis box is still 8.4 though [16:12]
mercutioon more than one system
it's bloody annoying
[16:12]
RandalSchwartzso 10.x doesn't matter. :) [16:13]
mercutioi wish people would make it async
on hp i just use textcons
which is also lame
[16:13]
brycecserial, by definition, is synchronous... [16:13]
mercutioyeah but the normal video output goes at serial speed too
so like if you have serial enabled you can see the screen drawing grub etc
[16:13]
brycecright [16:14]
mercutiothat's on linux [16:14]
RandalSchwartzHmm. I wonder how up_the_irons set up that box.... because he'd probably have to do what I'm doing... look at some console somewehre. [16:14]
mercutioi can't remember what bsd is like [16:14]
brycectl;dr serial drawing is slow. [16:14]
mercutiobrycec: it's not that serial is slow, it's that if you have serial enabled normal video is slow too [16:14]
brycecIt's slower than plain text because there are a bunch of invisible drawing characters taking up space
Ah I understand what you meant
brycec wonders what rabbit hole mnathani has fallen into
[16:14]
mercutiothat's what i meant about it should be async :)
but yeah the normal bios should work, and i imagine thef reebsd boot loeader works
[16:16]
mnathanithat ascii tool is confusing [16:17]
mercutioand you can probably do some command to do serial [16:17]
brycecbrycec finds that ascii tool intuitive and quick [16:17]
mercutioyou can also reboot with ipmi and access sensors and stuff [16:17]
brycecs/i a/i, a/ [16:17]
BryceBot<mercutio> you can also reboot with ipmi, and access sensors and stuff [16:17]
mnathanibrycec: I started making a diagram but ended up way more complicated than I need [16:17]
brycec(rebooting is not a requisite for accessing sensors, hence the comma addtion) [16:17]
mercutiobrycec: grr :/ [16:18]
brycecMaybe that's just the nature of your problem, mnathani :P [16:18]
mnathaniI have 2 interfaces on the pfSense box
LAN and WAN
WAN will accept the VPN connection
but I need the WAN to also host the local LAN
would I bridge LAN and WAN to achieve this?
[16:18]
brycec"but I need the WAN to also host the local LAN" wtf??
Also, you just said you have two interfaces... "but I need the WAN to also host the local LAN" suggests you have one. I'm very confused.
[16:19]
mnathanivpn router on a stick [16:19]
mercutioi'm a bit confused by what mnathani is saying [16:20]
mnathaninothing really connected to the LAN side [16:20]
mercutioyou can use a wan interface with lan as well in general
but i imagine pfsense might get in the way
[16:20]
brycecpfSense doesn't require a LAN interface, it can work with just a single interface
(it's in the setup wizard)
[16:21]
mercutioyou stick extra arp traffic on the wan interface, and arp limits might hurt you [16:21]
BryceBotYER A WIZARD brycec [16:21]
mnathaniWAN = 10.10.100.100/16 LAN 172.16.100.1/24 [16:21]
mercutiodoes the wan use dhcp? [16:21]
mnathanibut the hosts I need to access are 10.10.25.25/16
static WAN
[16:21]
mercutioso yeah, you just have a gateway on the wan and you just have nat from lan segment to wan segment [16:22]
brycecSo long as the pfSense box has a route to 10.10/16 (it does), then a VPN client can access/route to that. [16:22]
mercutioor you might not need nat depending on the other end
the wan end could have as route to 172.16.100.0/24
[16:22]
mnathaniwill my remote VPN client get a TAP ip
from the 10.10.0.0/16 subnet?
[16:22]
brycecmnathani: it would get an IP from a private ip pool
and its connection to 10.10/16 would be NAT'd (by default)
[16:23]
mercutiowhy do you have openvpn on a /16 ?
just route through it, don't bridge.
[16:23]
mnathanithe pfsense is not the default gatway for other Windows hosts [16:23]
mercutiooh [16:24]
brycecDoesn't matter [16:24]
mercutioadding static routes in windows sucks :/ [16:24]
brycecVPN subnet -> pfSense -> WAN IP -> whatever host
And those windows hosts would see a connection from the pfSense box's wan IP
[16:24]
mercutioif it's going to a modem/router, you can add a static route on the modem to the pfsense box. [16:25]
brycecso no extra routes needed [16:25]
mnathaniok, cool
Internet router is Mikrotik
[16:25]
mercutiobrycec: but the other way around won't work? [16:25]
brycecother way round being...
?
tl;dr pfSense is a nat'ing firewall/router. And the VPN traffic is no different than if it were LAN. It has its own subnet, gets nat'd through the pfsense, etc
That's how VPN gets configured by default in pfSense
(if you need to bridge networks for whatever reason, need routed access to vpn clients etc you're in for a long night :p)

oh it's like the iphone thing?
with direct video calling over internet etc to your normal mobile contacts i think
err like facetime
[16:35]
brycecIIRC Facebook bought them for billions of dollars
So I guess that explains the influx of cash to the guy :p
[16:40]
mnathaniCould not locate the CA reference for the server certificate.

mercutiohe should donate more than a million then :)
do any of you use whatsapp?
it may be one of those regional things.
[16:42]
brycecI do not [16:43]
mercutiolike hardly anyone here used AIM [16:43]
brycecI feel age/generation plays a bigger role today than regions
brycec used AIM
[16:43]
mercutiobut people did use ICQ [16:44]
brycecbrycec used ICQ
>.>
[16:44]
mercutioheh.
i used to use micq
and it kept breaking
do you use jabber bryce?
[16:44]
brycecI have XMPP accounts on several servers, yes [16:45]
mercutiofigured :) [16:45]
brycecincluding jabber.org, somewhere
WhatsApp came about long after I was out of school, and all my messaging was either Facebook (friends/family) or office xmpp
[16:45]
mercutioi have icq, aim, msn, gtalk, skype, jabber now
but i basically just use jabber and skype
i like it how you can just easily run your own server and it can connect to other servers.
[16:46]
brycecI use xmpp and irc
^ primarily
[16:47]
mercutioheh i don't include irc in that for some reason [16:47]
brycecoh and silc to a lesser extent [16:47]
mercutioit'd be nice to see more people shift off skype
but the echo cancelling and video works pretty well

brycecup_the_irons: it's "complicated" but boils down to it being illegal to ingest and regurgitate to broadcast twitter. (because they want twitter to stay on twitter.com, that sort of thing) [17:19]

mercutioi dunno how you're meant to deal with this media thing.
like i like to have emails on my phone, i just don't like people to email me at 1 am. i suppose i need more email addresses.
with some way to disable sound for unimportant messages at night
[17:25]
jlgaddisyeah i switched to multiple accounts. alerts & notifications go to the e-mail account i have set up on my phone, all my regular mail goes to my normal e-mail account (that isn't on my phone) [17:28]
mnathaniI use gmail filters to forward to a separate acccount, emails from actual people that notify me on my phone [17:28]
brycecMy phone is just on silent, plain and simple [17:29]
mnathaniI would go nuts if I got an alert for all email on my main account [17:29]
jlgaddis*nod* before this i did server-side filtering... emails from certain people went into my inbox, anything that fell through to the end of the filters went into a different folder [17:30]
mnathaniI still have both accounts on the phone, the main one simply does not notify [17:30]
jlgaddisi could still pull them up on my phone if i wanted to but i didn't get notified about them [17:30]
mercutiojlgaddis: i want htings like advertising going to my phone/tablet, just without sound at night. [17:30]
up_the_ironsholy crap, i never knew about tweets / sms [17:30]
mercutioi don't have html mail for my normal email. [17:30]
up_the_ironsthat could be useful... [17:30]
jlgaddisheh, when i first started using twitter, it was only web and sms [17:31]
mnathaniYou will now receive mobile notifications for @arpnetworks's tweets [17:31]
brycec^ And now when shit hits the fan, you'll get an out-of-band notification [17:32]
mercutioeven if it's not your server [17:32]
brycecSure. But it's a very quiet feed anyways [17:32]
mercutioi think i know how to solve it on tablet actually, just multiple user accounts. [17:33]
brycecWhy not just put it on silent? Not to mention disabling notifications for accounts you don't need to be notified of? [17:39]
mercutiocos i have alerts that get emailed to me too
i'm making a new account now :)
it doesn't seem like email has a way to set quiet hours
instead of phone in general
but yeah i can turn off alerts for my main mail
[17:40]
mnathaniI set IPv4 Local Network/s = 10.10.0.0/16, however a route does not show up in my OpenVPN client [17:43]
brycecGranted alerts don't play much of a role in my work, but all of my urgent alerting is done through Pushover, which is exempt from the phone silence because it uses the "alarm" "channel"
(In fact, my phone is on silent 100% of the time. Any notifications I care about get pushed to my watch.)
(hooray smartwatches)
[17:50]
mercutiosmartwatch heh
do you sleep with it on?

m0undsafaik, they use xen
i'll confirm for you, give me a minute
[22:18]
mnathanik [22:21]
m0undsstaticsafe: i managed to hit #59 on connery today for daily score, haha [22:21]
mnathani: actually..kvm
i have acct credit w/them, so i spooled up a 1GB instance and got this output w/virt-what:
[22:32]
mnathanieven their cloud offerings? [22:33]
m0unds[root@textbox ~]# virt-what
kvm
this is a storm server
[22:33]
mnathanithanks for taking the trouble [22:33]
m0undsno problem at all [22:33]
mnathaniI had 2 live chat sessions with them [22:33]
m0undsi could have sworn it was xen [22:33]
mnathanione said custom VMware
Nathani 06:28:24 pm

I am curious as to what visualization technology you use for the VPS offerings




Steven Siepierski 06:28:39 pm

We use all of our own VM Ware




Nathani 06:29:08 pm

so you do not us XEN?
*use
sorry for the *spam*
whats the default swap like on a 1GB instance?
[22:33]
m0undsno idea, i already tore it down, haha
i'd guess it's going to be 256, 512 or 1024mb
[22:37]
mnathanione live agent said you set it yourself: you have root access [22:38]
m0undsit's possible they don't assign swap, but i didn't check [22:38]
mnathanianother said, yea it will swap when it runs of out memory before it crashes [22:38]
m0undsthey also still don't assign ipv6 [22:38]
mnathanino worries
>> "It will have 1GB of RAM and would use some SWAP if that is exceeded, I'm not sure exactly how much it could handle before the server were to crash. " <<

mercutiomnathani: ?
why are you getting some dodgy vps from people with broken english?
[22:52]
m0undshaha, it's not dodgy
liquidweb is one of the biggest hosting companies in the us
they typically have good support, but their chat people aren't great
[22:56]
mercutiooh
dreamhost are dodgy and they're huge
[22:57]
m0undsyeah, they're bad [22:57]
mercutiohaha i just went to their web site [22:57]
m0undsi've had good experiences w/liquidweb via clients who insisted on using them [22:57]
mercutiorather disturbing [22:58]
m0undswhich? [22:58]
mercutioand login is over top of contact us
dreamhost
[22:58]
m0undslooks fine on mine
way off on the right
[22:58]
mercutioi use 200% zoom.
with 1440p, so it's like 1280x720
[22:58]
m0undswhen i zoom to 200% it does a responsive thing to look like a mobile site
same res here
[22:58]
mercutiomost web sites seem to be designed for about 720p these days
in chrome
[22:59]
up_the_ironsthe guy with the 1970's mustache and comb over is what's actually disturbing... [22:59]
m0undsyep, used chromium
yeah
up_the_irons: ^^^
that's exactly what i thought when it loaded
hahahah
[22:59]
mercutioyaeh that's what was disturbing me first. [22:59]
up_the_ironslol
hahaha
[22:59]
mnathaniliquid web provides a 60 sec response time for phone support [23:00]
mercutiois that good? [23:00]
mnathaniand you get an admin
not some helpdesk triage person
[23:00]
***kevr has joined #arpnetworks [23:00]
mercutiointeresting.
i've hit so many web hosting issues over the years.
it seems to be surprisingly complicated.
hah the girl under learn more is disturbing too
wow liquid web vps pricing starts at $50/month
and when it says 1 cpu does it mean 1 cpu core
[23:00]
acf_https://www.liquidweb.com/
why do they have pictures of desktop towers? :/
[23:05]
mercutioit's what they use
or what they used in 97
it's hard to know
oh one interesting thing is they throw in a cheap ssd.
on their dedicated servers.
kingston ssds are known to be pretty bad
[23:05]
mnathaniI ran unix bench on a dedicated I have [23:07]
mercutiogood? [23:07]
mnathanihttp://pastebin.com/EyPJNCQg
not sure
first time I ever ran something like that
this dedicated has RAID 1 SSD
[23:08]
mercutiohardware or software? [23:09]
mnathanihardware [23:09]
mercutiois that v2 cpu? [23:09]
mnathanioh and you might like this: 30 minute repair time from when a failure is detected in hardware guarantee [23:09]
mercutioreinstall etc is wehat takes time [23:10]
mnathanimodel name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31240 @ 3.30GHz [23:10]
mercutiogrr why does it make it hard to know
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz
ok v2 does show as v2
and v1 doesn't show as v1
so yeah arp has better cpu on dedicated :)
bandwidth is about the same unless you do heaps of incoming
which isn't normal
hmm that's not the current unixbench version
i better run the older one too
[23:10]
jlgaddisdamn, dedicated servers are expensive [23:12]
***kevr has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [23:12]
mercutiothey use more power jlgaddis
/tmp/cc8fwUjo.o:ubgears.c:(.text.unlikely+0x738): more undefined references to `sincos' follow
did you have to do something special
oh it looks like it needs -lm
[23:12]
mnathanithis server was provisioned like 2 years ago : Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1240 Quad Core Sandy Bridge | RAM: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM | SSD: 2 X 256GB SSD in RAID 1 | HD2: 500GB SATA Backup Drive [23:13]
mercutiooh yip [23:13]
mnathaniI installed a bunch of perl and dev tools on centos 6 [23:14]
mercutioit's cool they were doing ssd's two years ago.
yeah i saw your kernel was old
how long does this take to run
[23:14]
jlgaddismnathani: what's that cost, out of curiosity? [23:14]
***kevr has joined #arpnetworks [23:15]
mnathanicost was interesting
we paid a setup up front to reduce the monthly
[23:15]
jlgaddisi've got a pair of 1u servers in our datacenter that are waaaaay underutilized. i really should be doing more with them.
if i wasn't so lazy i'd move my last few little websites off of this vps and save myself $20/month, heh
[23:15]
mnathani$350 setup fee, $274 recurring monthly [23:16]
jlgaddisdamn [23:16]
mnathanirecently we renegotiated it down to $220 monthly
Its a managed, cPanel server
[23:17]
jlgaddisi've got a pair of sun fire x4100 m2's. one is 2 x Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218 HE CPUs (2.6 GHz), 16 GB RAM, 2 x 146 GB 15K SAS, 4 x GbE. the other is pretty much the same but w/ 20 GB RAM and 4 x 146 GB.
and they pretty much do nothing really... one is my web server and the other my mail server.
[23:20]
mercutioopteron 218 HE is old right?
err 2218
[23:21]
jlgaddisi've got another one in my garage but no hdd's in it (i took the 2 out of it and put it in the other box)
yeah they're like 5 or 6 yrs old probably
[23:21]
mercutioare you paying for power? [23:21]
jlgaddisno they're in our dc [23:22]
mercutioso it doesn't matter i suppose [23:22]
jlgaddisyeah it doesn't cost me anything [23:22]
mercutioi have i3 something [23:22]
jlgaddisthey double as my test machines for work [23:22]
mercutioi3-2100. and tbh as a dedicated server it seems pretty fast. [23:23]
jlgaddisbut i pretty much just use vm's anymore [23:23]
mercutiooh it's faster than those amds hah [23:23]
jlgaddisyeah i've only got four cores in each. and they're only 2.6ghz i think [23:25]
mercutioi was just looking at passmark
i3-2100 is over twice as fast as single dual core
but passmark isn't necessarily the best test.
i'm running unixbench on 3 hosts atm :)
[23:25]
jlgaddisahhh, here we go. 2 cores per cpu, 2600mhz, 128kb l1, 1024kb l2, 68w
jlgaddis google's unixbench
jlgaddis adds it to poudriere's list
[23:26]
mercutioi'm up to pipe throughput
this seems to take ages.
[23:29]
mnathanioh I did run it on a $10 VPS here at ARP for fun : http://pastebin.com/mAfeEVYD [23:32]
mercutiodoes it take like half an hour to run or osmething?
383 seems a bit low
i've run this before, and i think it's normally over 1000?
oh was this bsd?
[23:32]
mnathania good 15 minutes, if I remember correctly [23:33]
mercutionope linux [23:33]
mnathanithat was Centos 5 [23:33]
mercutioprocess creation looks slow, i think that's normally faster. [23:33]
jlgaddisi'll run it as soon as poudriere is done [23:34]
mercutiowhy is there no file benchmark? [23:34]
mnathanivps was on : kvr15 [23:34]
mercutiothat's what i'm on :) [23:34]
mnathaniI ran it with flags that disabled file benchmark [23:34]
mercutioto be nice to other users? [23:35]
mnathaniI am rerunning it on the liquidweb box with no flags
I wanted a quicker result
[23:35]
mercutiowas that before or after the kvm update?
ahh
yeah i am wanting it quicker atm too :)
[23:35]
mnathaniThis is where I came across it in the first place: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=924581
cpu load went pretty high the last time I ran it: like 30 and 50
[23:36]
jlgaddis[00:02:49] ====>> [03][00:00:00] Starting build of benchmarks/unixbench
[00:02:51] ====>> [03][00:00:02] Finished build of benchmarks/unixbench: Failed: fetch
grrr
[23:38]
mercutioyou want 5.1.2
so we can compare
wget https://byte-unixbench.googlecode.com/files/unixbench-5.1.2.tar.gz

i had to add -lm to Makefile to compile it
[23:39]
jlgaddisfetch: ftp://ftp3.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/unixbench-4.1.0.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) [23:41]
mercutioyou don't want 4.1 anyway [23:41]
jlgaddisgee, no wonder why... only thing in that directory is a readme.txt [23:41]
mercutioi've run it on opensolaris and openbsd before
it's pretty portable.
