(Quote) I wonder if that's maybe still coming from the loader (just before passing control to the kernel), not the kernel yet?
-
(Quote) It's a bit hard to say as I don't really know what you can reasonably test on the Hypervisor side. With NetBSD the current status is that the images work fine with a standard qemu (at least to the point that it successfully boots), but when…
-
Trying some older NetBSD installation images, and with 4.0.1 it gets a bit further up to: (Quote) Maybe newer versions have the same issue, but just reboot way earlier?
-
(Quote) I don't think any of the BSDs even have the concept of an initramfs. rootfs maybe, but if it's missing or incorrect, there should be an error saying that (or a prompt asking for the rootfs device)

(Quote) see https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/185749/#Comment_185749

(Quote) On the "Media" tab there is "CD/DVD-ROM" with a drop down list which contains netboot.xyz as the first entry (maybe only for TX?) Alternatively, you could probably just use https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso a…
-
So for OpenBSD you can get the console output if you first boot into netboot.xyz, but then boot from the local hard disk while pressing the "Ctrl" key - this gets you into the OpenBSD boot loader where you just type "boot". The c…
-
(Quote) I wouldn't think cloud-init would make a difference - the reboot is way too early. Would it be possible to share what options VirtFusion is passing to qemu, so we could try reproducing locally and removing each option one by one to see whic…
-
(Quote) I do occasionally run it in a VM on my local laptop (and have contributed some simple IPv6 fixes to the kernel, as well as added an xmake ports package and updated the luajit ports package). I definitely gets better over time (Emacs now sup…
-
(Quote) You can always later enable VNC in the "Options" tab. (Quote) I first tried the NetbSD 9.3 image, but then tried to boot the offical NetBSD 10.0 ISO by adding a custom CD/DVD-ROM image via the "Media" tab (actually tried…
-
Just as a little experiment, I thought I'd give Haiku a try (as Beta 5 has just been released), and that also doesn't boot. BTW, the netbsd installation image works fine in a qemu in Debian on that VM, but that's not the goal... There must be some…
-
(Quote) This is weird, same thing when trying to boot the NetBSD 10 installer image - and none of the boot flags seem to help, it just reboots immediately after loading the kernel.
-
(Quote) Did you look at the VNC console? Mine is just stuck in a boot loop (just getting to the NetBSD boot loader, but it's immediately rebooting again).
-
(Quote) Right, there is no I/O wait, because there is no I/O now ("bi" column in vmstat are all "0" - because it's cached now).
-
(Quote) Actually looking at the Ryzen results again, why is it only doing around 150 MB/s (even with a 1M block size)? Could you maybe just do a dd if=chronos-20240904.tgz.cpt of=/dev/null bs=1M? Surely, that should be closer to some GB/s (similar …
-
(Quote) But no NetBSD 10, only 9.3.
-
So I think what happened here is that webmash re-started (purging (free) accounts - even the web server they used to host these accounts is off the net now) with a different legal entity: it used to be run by Webmash Ltd and is now run by WEBUK Ltd,…
-
(Quote) The whole point of fio is to do I/O at full speed, so it really is just waiting for the OS to do that I/O. The other option would be to just not show that column (like some other Unixes) and just show it as "CPU idle" (as the CPU …
-
After setting up the basics last week (which was successful with the exception of IPv6), wanted to check again today and everything has completely disappeared. I can still log in to the dashboard, but there it just says "No accounts found"…
-
I really don't get it - particularly when talking about personal use. How many web sites do you have? So you set up your web sites once (add domain/subdomain, enable Let's Encrypt certificate, set PHP version, maybe some other stuff), and then your …
-
(Quote) BTW, another thing you could do is use dd to read the file (with a bigger block size) and see if that reduces I/O wait (sha256sum seems to read in chunks of 32 kB only). Unfortunately, you can't do that with the -c options, but you can still…
-
(Quote) Those are percentages of total CPU time. You have two cores, but one of them is idle (idle column shows roughly 50 %), and the remaining 50 % are split into roughly 24 % user time, 2 % system time and 24 % wait. So one core is only doing rea…
-
(Quote) So in this case it's spending half the time waiting for I/O (not sure why the top snapshot didn't show that) I am assuming the E3 with 64 GB RAM has all the file contents already cached, so doesn't need to do any I/O. You could try re-runn…
-
What I find strange is that real time differs so much from user+sys time. In a compute bound single-threaded application you would usually expect real time be roughly the same as user+sys time (user time is the time the application uses the CPU to d…
-
(Quote) Looks like there is no IPv6 configured on that server.
-
So the basics seem to be working, the one thing I haven't found yet is if there is any IPv6 support?
-
(Quote) It somehow seemed to work after reloading the page a few times (maybe you need to be quick enough to start entering the credit card number before the page has fully loaded?)
-
(Quote) Not sure what you mean, there is nothing to un-tick.
-
So I need to also sign up to Link to pay £0.00? (and they will store my credit card information)?
-
I wonder if we might soon see another Italian provider (who lost their LET provider tag) applying for a provider tag here.
-
(Quote) Maybe get a provider tag first.
-
(Quote) does it really say 48 years there?

@c1vhosting So what does RAM usage mean for a VPS? By default, Linux will use any available RAM as disk cache - are you saying I would have to configure Linux to only every use 50% of allocated RAM? Or to ask another way, how much RAM is this VPS u…
