    It isn't a great way to benchmark a disk, that is true. It is, however, an absolutely excellent way to identify an I/O problem and it has done just that for you. Sequential write speed at a single point in time does not reflect disk performance as a whole, unless it's so painfully slow that no disk or array should ever write that slowly.

  • Is this KVM or Xen?

    Just curious, is this ChicagoVPS or 123systems?

    Dediserve, you post skipper.

  • so i wake up and run a new dd test and guess what....

    so it seems to be a lot better. and i never changed anything on the server so they must have changed something on the node ( and wont admit it )

    so i am going to let it sit for a while and see if it has issues again. and if so i will then do a rebuild.

  • @pablob - do respond to your ticket, we're standing by to help.

  • Why is everyone so defensive and lacks helpfulness these days.

    He probably just skimmed through and missed it, I only seen that comment the second time round.

    Calm down, k.

  • good news. i got the VM built on a new node. and looks good now.

    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out

    and i am running everything the same. so to me it seems like there was an issue where the VM was before.
    but all good now, so i am happy.
    thanks all.

    so looks like this is happening again on one VM for sure and maybe another.
    I even had it at 100%WA at one stage. and i am 100% sure both VMs are on the same hardware. All my VMs on other hardware with dediserve are not having this issue.
    So is anyone else having this issue at the moment on any of their VMs with dediserve?
    i really don't want to move but it is starting to look like i might have to move to a new provider who wont have such major problems.
