04:03 <  prometheanfire > odd crashes
04:03 <  prometheanfire > it's like the disk disapears
04:03 <         agraf__ > prometheanfire: what disk backend? ide? scsi? virtio?
04:04 <  prometheanfire > I can still get console but network dies
04:04 <  prometheanfire > now that I think about it, it happened when I hit alot of net activity, I can do high disk load all day long

04:10 <  prometheanfire > heh, I'm hitting 100% cpu on a 40MBps file transfer (which is about 20 times faster then the speed I was experiencing before
04:10 <  prometheanfire > well, if I don't respond soon, you will know that I crashed
04:10 <             mjt > there was a race in kvm
04:10 <  prometheanfire > well, it's doing 45MBps
04:11 <  prometheanfire > race?
04:11 <             mjt > and a thread "network stops under high load" or somesuch
04:11 <             mjt > race condition
04:11 <  prometheanfire > I think it happens under bittorrent conditions, not single file transfer conditions

04:12 <  prometheanfire > I'm gonna limit my connection to about half and see how it goes
04:12 <  prometheanfire > so if I crash you know why lol
04:13 <  prometheanfire > mjt: you know if this has been fixed in git (I tested the git kernel and had the same issue 0.12.50)
04:13 <             mjt > http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg26033.html
04:13 <  prometheanfire > lol, it's called vger
04:13 <             mjt > http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=126564542625725&w=2
04:13 <             mjt > that's the patch
04:14 <  prometheanfire > well, I tested with a git pull from a week ago and still had the issue
04:16 <             mjt > in current kvm git that patch is not present
04:16 <  prometheanfire > awesome, thanks
04:16 <             mjt > err
04:16 <             mjt > no, it is
04:16 <  prometheanfire > even better lol
04:17 <  prometheanfire > well, I reduced load to 900KBps

04:17 <  prometheanfire > huh
04:18 <  prometheanfire > ya, the kvm in proxmox is oldish
04:18 <  prometheanfire > 0.11.1
04:19 <  prometheanfire > I'm gonna poke them to update it because, to me at least, this is a big problem

04:21 <             mjt > but apparently that's something different
04:21 <             mjt > (crashing, not freezing)
04:21 <  prometheanfire > ya, I'm posting in that thread
04:21 <  prometheanfire > might make a thread of my own too
04:22 <  prometheanfire > they are actually pretty good about communication
04:22 <  prometheanfire > WAY better then asus
04:23 <  prometheanfire > is 06b1297017415ae6a07a0e97ad7d8e90b2d95823 a git string or something
04:23 <  prometheanfire > I don't know how to describe it to them
04:23 <  prometheanfire > I think I may just pastebin this whole conversation for them
