Hi.
Decided to finally test the storage server I bought yesterday. It seems like I/O on the server I am on is grinding to a halt. The yabs test is stuck at "Generating fio test file..." since last 15 minutes with constant 85-99.9% io wait.
Can any of you who bought the Polar Bear Storage Offer please perform a yabs on their server at this time?
A simple dd write test returned 2.6 MB/s for me.
it's not just you. the I/O performance has been miserable for the past 36 hours. the only explanation is that people are torrenting out of these storage VPS. I'm seriously pondering about asking for a refund if the situation does not improve until Monday.
Noticed no such dramatic io issue on my storage server. Overcrowded machine?
people are overyabbing
People are stupid, too
only @servarica_hani can tell
I thought it might be a temp issue of a few people running benchmarking scripts simultaneously but its been like this since yesterday as @sportingdan pointed out. I couldn't even run & complete yabs the 2 times I tried. Had to settle with writing a 256MB file using dd to get some idea about how low i/o is. Will wait for another day or two before putting in a ticket. It might not be the case of "overyabbing" as the other benchmark results posted in this thread reflect normal & acceptable performances. The server I am on has been like this since yesterday.
Yabbadabbado!
@akb @sportingdan if you decide to get rid of your Polar Bears please let me know
I am also facing same issue. I ran yabs yesterday and disk performance was very poor so haven't done anything on server yet. I will try and see after Monday and see how things go.
Reply from Servarica support staff.
'It is NAS storage with multiple SAS disks in raidz2 configuration.
As the storage plans are not based on SSD disks, the performance will be less when compared to general SSD speeds.'
Already req to refund. And approved by billing staff.
well, it seems @servarica_hani acted on our complaints:
still slow here
F
can you share benchmarks Flaying fish here
It's a storage box. It's not expected to have SSD speeds, it just needs to exceed the network speed between you and the box for you to get all the performance you'd get.
And yes, it's because it's getting benchmarked to death and many servers provisioned. It'll be better on Tuesday.
using it as windows vps
What a shame we could arrange a transfer instead. Will be waiting for more stock then.
Its just probably a lot of people uploading data, give it some time.
XEN or KVM?
XEN HVM. For the end user its like KVM only.
Ah i missed out as usual
but the watchlist and notifications is a nice feature
when and where did you see me asking for SSD speeds? I just think that a 3-5 MB/s transfer speed is verging on the unacceptable and if this is the sort of performance they will deliver on a permanent basis, then I'd most likely rather spend my money elsewhere.
in any case, I'm going to give @servarica_hani the benefit of the doubt until we get a reply. perhaps something went wrong or a few people are abusing the service. I like Québec and the fact the data center is mostly powered using green energy. I want this to work
looking for 1tb storage vps, do you plan to add one?
Have you seen the amount of benchmarks people are posting just here? This was also posted in other forums. I'd just make an agreement with them to stay for two more weeks (the dust will be settled by then) and otherwise refund.
