nathaniix33: can you ping6 anything? [15:01]
.......... (idle for 45mn)
ix33nathani: garry got it
it was a setting on a new thunder instance
VLAN
now, if someone would just fix vioblk on openbsd...

mercutioix33: openbsd's disk subsystem in general isn't great :(
it really needs an overhaul but i haven't seen anyone looking to spend a lot of time on it
[16:12]
ix33no kidding
untar of src.tar.gz on a physical 2-core box w/ssd in openbsd is ~100s
[16:13]
mercutioit's kind of embarassing, like when openbsd had no smp :) [16:14]
ix33which is awful [16:14]
mercutiowith or without softdep? [16:14]
ix33good question [16:14]
mercutioi think slow untar with openbsd is to do with poor write behind [16:14]
ix33nosoftdep is default, so that [16:15]
mercutioi'd try comparing with sofdep then [16:15]
ix33well that's a physical host
same default setup on a VPS instance is ~600s
[16:15]
mercutiossd's aren't instant for acknowledging writes normally
they're faster than hard-disk, but still..
if there are a lot of files it can add up
so if openbsd can keep writing stuff without waiting then performance can e higher
openbsd 6.0 src.tar.gz ?
[16:16]
ix33mercutio: yes [16:18]
mercutioi want to compare [16:18]
ix33i know that's a ton of little, highly compressed files... [16:18]
mercutioyeah [16:18]
ix33going to put freebsd on this thing just to compare & feel depressed about it
i mean, 100s on the host i'm referring to is absolutely abysmal
[16:19]
mercutioi got 1 minute 2 seconds on a vps
with softdep though
[16:24]
ix33yeah rebooting to try that
(/)
theo doesn't make fun of people for using softdep, does he?
[16:25]
mercutiono idea
i remounted with softdep
it seems you can do it live, at least it doesn't complain
[16:25]
ix33-o remount works? [16:27]
mercutiomount -u -o softdep /
1 minute 50 seconds withotu softdep on vps
[16:27]
ix33kvm/vioblk? [16:27]
mercutioyeah [16:28]
ix33which version of openbsd? [16:28]
mercutio6.0 [16:28]
ix33something doesn't add up [16:28]
mercutiohow so?
you weren't using softdep
i got 1 minute 50 without softdep, 1 minute 02 with softdep
[16:28]
ix33<@mercutio> 1 minute 50 seconds withotu softdep on vps
wow 91s on the slow FS with softdep
[16:28]
mercutiosoftdep slowed it down for you?
hmm, i have noatime too it seemms
[16:29]
ix33no softdep sped up
from 800s on that guy i think
[16:30]
mercutioi thought you got a minute without softdep [16:31]
ix33no that was the physical host
i'm kicking a VPS at the moment
90s on the VPS with softdep is <3 <3 <3
testing on metal too now
[16:31]
mercutiowhat is sad is how much faster linux is :( [16:33]
ix33no kidding
like 5s on a haswell w/ssd
btrfs even :/
[16:33]
mercutioi got 5.2 seconds
dman you are faster than me
[16:33]
ix33lol [16:33]
mercutiohey it used more than 100% cpu
tar vxzf ../src.tar.gz 2.94s user 3.04s system 114% cpu 5.222 total
[16:34]
ix3313s on a big zfs fbsd machine too [16:34]
mercutiooh this was zfs on linux [16:34]
ix33^^^^opterons [16:34]
mercutioi think it's haswell too actually
yeah i7-4770
[16:34]
ix33haswell i5 here [16:34]
mercutiosame diff basically
i have lz4 enabled too
but i doubt it makes any significant diff
[16:35]
ix33you know i saw the damnedest thing, speaking of this opteron [16:35]
mercutiobut yeah i wish openbsd's disk subsystem would be fixed up [16:35]
ix33the default cipher on ssh/scp is 70% the speed on the opteron as on a haswel-era pentium d
both machines capable of gig-E wire speed (verified with ioperf)
both freebsd 10.3 machines testing to the haswell linux box
[16:36]
mercutiocypher can make a huge diff on some machines
i don't think pentium d's have aesni
but on such capable machines that can make cpu utilisation of such vary a lot
except openbsd doesn't trust it hah
i think there's a new djb one now
chacha20
[16:37]
ix33yeah
i was about to tear that machine apart and test new NICs
[16:39]
anyway, thanks for the pointer mercutio [16:46]
mercutioyou're welcome [16:46]
ix33the stuff i've been googling for has been virt* specific
i didn't look for more general tunings because i was OK with the base-case suckage
[16:46]
mercutioyeah i don't think it's acutally a virtio issue [16:46]
ix33garry would be happy to hear that [16:46]
mercutioopenbsd is just quite far behind in disk performance [16:46]
ix33since i opened a ticket on it [16:47]
mercutiothere used to be a huge deficiency with smp too
that's getting better
[16:47]
ix33$ doas /usr/bin/time tar xzpf src.tar.gz 501.06 real 3.78 user 11.95 sys [16:47]
mercutiolike the global lock was around basiclaly everything, where smp was only userland
it's getting a little finer now
[16:47]
ix33<3 openbsd
i'm ok with what it is
but some times it's a head scratcher
[16:47]
mercutioheh [16:48]
ix33^ so that was with a remount of /, which didn't appear to honor the -o softdep [16:48]
mercutiothe time seems to work but mount doesn't seem to update [16:48]
ix33ditto the physical box too [16:49]
mercutioyou could edit /etc/fstab and reboot and check it's still good [16:49]
ix33right
i shall
can't reboot that physical box till after hours tho
[16:49]
mercutioyou have an arp vps right? [16:49]
ix33yes
a few
[16:49]
mercutiowas it migrated/recent? [16:50]
ix33this was me testing the new thunder setup
very recent
[16:50]
mercutioahh so that's on arp thunder [16:50]
ix33yes
i'm ok with crap performance on onesy-twosy small VPSes
i was actually considering freebsd on the thunder instance if i couldn't make it behave better
:/
[16:50]
mercutioand 90 seconds on softdep? [16:51]
ix33it's running now (after reboot)
6.0-current even
[16:52]
mercutiocool
6.1 seems to be delayed.
but i don't think it'll improve performance
[16:52]
ix33well i have just upgraded from 5.7 on everything, so i wasn't current on what's what
$ doas /usr/bin/time tar xzpf src.tar.gz
115.48 rel 2.74 user 5.91 sys
daaaaaaang
i'll take it
if i'm untarring with -p, does it modify atime too?
[16:52]
mercutiomaybe
i didn't use p
[16:53]
ix33that's smoking fast considering where i came from
thanks!
[16:54]
mercutioand i have noatime on
heh
it's not too bad with cvs updates and the like tbh
like openbsd's disk performance used to bug me a bit on synthetic things like that
but for most things that matter like waiting for a cvs update it doesn't seem that bad
also openbsd kernel compiles are much faster than linux kernel compiels :)
[16:54]
HAS_A_BANANAI dunno, I compiled a Linux kernel (defconfig) on an SSD with -j12 in 19 seconds...
Hard to beat that.
[16:56]
mercutioi think openbsd is less than 2 minutes for default with one core [16:56]
ix33HAS_A_BANANA: holy cow, with what?
(CPU)
i admit i had an amd thunderbird last time i compiled a kernel for fun...
[16:57]
HAS_A_BANANAI don't really remember, it was a couple years ago... I think an i5-2400. [16:58]
mercutioare you sure it didn't fail [16:58]
ix33lol [16:58]
mercutiowith -j12 you might not see the failure so easily
i'm compiling openbsd kernel right now :)
[16:58]
HAS_A_BANANAYes I was sure, mercutio [16:58]
ix33make defconf; make bzImage should pretty much always work assuming your env is sane, right? [16:59]
mercutiowell you need as86 etc [16:59]
ix33well i feel better now. it's champagne friday. thanks all! [17:00]
mercutiobut yeah you'd think it'd be a tested option [17:00]
ix33(even commented on my arpnetworks ticket to that effect) [17:00]
mercutiodamn openbsd kernel compile is slower than it used to be
make 213.31s user 35.44s system 96% cpu 4:17.53 total
trying with make -j 3 now
actually i think gcc has been getting slower over time
make -j3 211.87s user 39.95s system 186% cpu 2:15.26 total
[17:02]
.... (idle for 19mn)
dneopenbsd uses quite old gcc though [17:24]
mercutioit's recent compared to 2.95? [17:25]
dneI guess :)
4.2.1 - only 10 years old
[17:25]
mercutiooh wow time flies
how old is 2.95 then? :)
16 years
wow
[17:27]
dne1999 [17:27]
mercutiooh hangon, july 31 1999 for first release
it looks like it was 10 years ago they abanonded gcc 2.95
looks like openbsd 5.5 was the first release to not include gcc 2.95.3 though
may 1 2014
