    Yep, none of the OSes I tried worked for rescue mode, it starts to ping, but can never connect on SSH. Not sure about "ages", maybe I should wait longer?

    The install system completely ignored my partitioning, I set the root FS to be 10 GB, but it still made it full 931 GB. Now need rescue to correct that. Or I guess can reinstall and fiddle some more with it (such as creating a dummy partition), but still a working rescue would be "nice".

    Definitely wait longer. I put my Start-2-S-SATA into rescue and waited for ~1-2h and it just pinged, no SSH access. Left it over night and now I'm able to access the rescue mode.

    I thought SYS was a bit grim without a console but this is worse, especially as it's so inconsistent . I cancelled a re-install due to inactivity, after and hour & a half; when I tried again, it completed in about 10 minutes. :-/ At least now, I'm at the cryptsetup stage..

    You got the installer up? Like not the Webinterface Script?

    Reinstall works fine and quickly for me, just the Rescue system never works.

    Just reinstalled a few times now, finally to figure out the partitioning which will allow me to do what I want without requiring a rescue boot.

    I suspect the provisioning server was on its' knees, with the avalanche of activity yesterday.

  • akbakb Member

    As C2350 is a pretty weak processor I would like it to jump to its turbo mode (1.7 to 2 Ghz on single core) on heavy load but can't seem to figure out if that is working or not. At least /proc/cpuinfo doesn't show any different on a stress test.

    Any clues?

    Try the Ubuntu 14.04.4 option and leave it 10-15mins. after a successful ping.

    Well, some of them, do not boost anymore, you need to reboot them.
    This is one known issue, but there could not be found a fix currently.

    May check dat.

    Thanks. Thats the first thing I had tried. Isn't working well on Debian 10:

    root@backups:~# cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to [email protected], please.

  maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.
analyzing CPU 1:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
  maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.

    Will dig a bit more.

    Thanks for the information. Will try rebooting and if that doesn't solve it, will reinstall with Debian 9 to check if its something OS specific.

    You are probably right. Instead of replacing the OS on disk, I just now used the rescue mode to test it on Ubuntu 14, 16 & 18 with same results. It just isn't working. Could it be disabled in the BIOS? But a Intel tool i7z (though not meant for this CPU) tells me otherwise (TURBO ENABLED on 2 Cores):

Socket-1 [num of cpus 0 physical 0 logical 0]

cpuinfo might be wrong if cpufreq is enabled. To guess correctly try estimating via tsc

    Run this: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2048 | md5sum

    How much MB/sec do you get? 230...240 = turbo working, 200 or less = not working.

    Grr. Yet another couple of hours wasted; another rebuild required.
    Did I say that I hate not having a console?
    It's becoming tiresome.. all I did was to add and LVM partition and split it up. Previous cryptsetup left me in a non-bootable state, so I guess I'll scrap that idea.
    Perhaps best to stick to the SYS ARM. :-(

    Anyone know what's with the crap about no separate var partition? (Not that I'd want it as a primary, just a logical one in LVM)

    That's interesting. I thought all Online.net SC/XC 2016 derived servers (Atom C2350 and Atom C2750 with 16GB RAM) were running off a custom BIOS, so cpufreq didn't work. I'm getting the same as @akb with cpufreq-info on Debian 10. Your MD5 speed test yields 230MB/s for me (C2350).

  • rm_rm_ IPv6 Advocate, Veteran

    They do run some customized BIOS, and there's a model number (from dmidecode):

    BIOS Information
        Vendor: coreboot
        Version: ADI_SILVERSHADOW-01.00.00.05-nodebug
        Release Date: 02/01/2017
...
Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
        Product Name: 0K8Y0N

    And the CPU on mine is C2338, not C2350.

    Anyone getting poor I/O speeds in Intel C2350 server?

    Got the same CPU, board and BIOS as @rm_ and cpufreq-info is working for me on Debian 10. I am getting 230+ MB/s when running the md5sum benchmark test posted earlier and disk I/O is around 100 MiB/s on the 1.99 server.

    If you mean 80 MB/sec SSD speeds, then yes it has been posted before.

    Yes. I posted a bensh quote a few pages earlier. Slow SSD speeds for me

    I'm getting 40MB/s on my 1TB SATA - Only 900 Power on hours and no SMART errors after Short & Extended testing.

    Also disk running at 70c idle! Fun!
