    I did that on my Hostigation vSwap test ;)

    This trial has been a nightmare but thankfully was able to collect up bug reports:

    doh you ran out when i tried to sign up ... was going to do part 2 of compression tests http://vbtechsupport.com/1576/ on the provided VPS but with much larger file sizes and memory consumption :)

    Dangit, sold out.

  • apollo15apollo15 Member

    Interesting tests you got there Fran, please keep us updated.

  • IntcsIntcs Member

    I bet you will need more users to fill the node well :D

    Outdates Server! Needs 1.0.0 :D

    For those interested in helping.

    These are 512's instead and this node (node98) is running a very different setup compared to node99.

    We'll document our findings for everyone :)

    Thanks!

    @ Franisco Thanks grabbed one, Waiting to be allocated :P

  • InfinityInfinity Member, Host Rep

    Already outta stock again.

    Damn it!

    Ok, just to say some points, independently of the crashes:

    About the RAM usage, as you can notice, is lower compared with the RHEL 5 OpenVZ. The RAM usage isn't the allocated memory anymore, so, you can use software like Java without problems I guess. My main services are Quake 3 based gameservers, and before RHEL 6 I was using lots of memory just to start the server because was allocating a lot of RAM. Now my usage is like in Xen, KVM and so.

    About the CPU. Now I feel the CPU less isolated than before. Some utilities report you 16 threads (dual quad core with HT). Particularly, I use taskset to put some affinity to my process, and it reports a deffault affinity to the CPUs 0 to 15. Also, you can't set the affinity anymore:

    # taskset -pc 626 1
pid 1's current affinity list: 0-15
pid 1's new affinity list: 0-15

    About CPU usage, the information shown by htop or top isn't accurate anymore, and probably the loads aren't too. A gameserver running at this moment with 32 bots, must be using around 1/2 of one core, and just that core (and depending of the load, can be spiking to 100% of one core). In htop I just see random cores spiking a little and going back to 0% and my loads are around 0.05-0.20.

    I have noticed this behavior with my UptimeVPS box (yeah I know), and seems to be the default behavior in RHEL 6.

    And about the crashes, that DowntimeVPS boxes were AMD platforms mostly, and my VPS was running fine for one month. Maybe this are issues associated to the Intel instruction set? Just guessing.

    My 2 cents

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    The issue looks to be related to vswap.

    While running memtester and allocating vswap the box would deadlock almost instantly.

    Now we've swapped everyone on node98 from 512/512 to 1024/0 and we're getting no lockups with memtester.

    Is there a chance you could get me a trial VPS tonight Francisco? I would love to benchmark it and do lot's of tests on it! :)

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Going to load up some more in a few.

    I think we've figured out where the issue is. At this point after our latest adjustment things have remained stable, even with the node sitting at 400 loads from people forkbombing prime95 >_>

    Stock has been loaded.

    Your Order Number is: 4498574640 :D

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Hey @vmport come get some! :P

  • JeffreyJeffrey Member

    Is the provisioning instant? I am asking because I haven't received my VPS yet.. Sorry for being a pain, but I've always wanted to try BuyVM and now I can with a trial! :)

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    I dunno what Anthony is doing for provisions.

    This isn't going to be a very good test as the box is just raped hard, 190 loads right now from everyone giving it their all :P

    Holy ****! 0_0

    All I am hoping for is to get my VPS. Also, Francisco, I am getting a bank account next week so I can make a purchase from my Paypal account, when is the next time BuyVM will have more stock?

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    The point of this trial is to help us debug/test/etc this kernel :)

    Francisco

  • JeffreyJeffrey Member

    I know :) I wonder where Anthony is, I'm so impatient :P

  • jamsonjamson Member

    I submitted a ticket giving mine up. Was going to have a play, but some other stuff has come up. Might as well let someone else properly participate :P
