    @vps6net said: @NickP @kbar Let us know if you're seeing speeds like that, even 60-80 MB/s is no good -- you should be getting 125 or above with those write tests.

    Looking good today ;)

    What's uname -a report?

    I'm thinking pony6-1?

    If not you should log a ticket for us to check that box, the network should be a lot more like 60 - 80MB/sec

    I had changed my host name, but the control panel reports "512 (node07)".

    I re-ran the test, here's another run through it — IO seems better, network is not too good.

    Sure, just link this post.

    It's possible when you did the IO test it was in the midst of crons or what have you. 200M/sec sounds good and it likely spikes higher.

    It will some since the OVZ's have a much bigger array. You can log a ticket and we can at least check our side to make sure all is OK :)

    The OVZ looks a bit low so you may want to ticket that as well. If you're on node57/58, then the IO looks right for now.

    @eva2000 - likely just a busy node then :) If you feel a bite in lag just let me know and we'll see what we can do. We have a 2.6.32 node still in action that we push troubled customers to, especially ones that love to eat harddrives.

    Nate's speeds are a lot more common around here for OVZ.

    512M.

    There's a lot of optimizing that goes into each rig. We may take a long time to get stock runs out, but that's because we spend so much time making sure everything is smooth.

    New storage is a fucking beast.
