I’m one of those Gentoo people that do things at what would be an inappropriate time :P
On my GPL Host I get stuck with I/O wait a lot of the time but on my VPSLand one I’ve never had an issue.
Both running Gentoo of course.
For example the other day I was just trying to view a couple of logs “less -S /var/log/em<tab>” the I/O wait locked me out and i couldn’t even change windows in a screen session, crazy…
Its unfortunate that I need to be on a AU ip for this project. Oh well :)
But at the same time I wouldn’t want to be on dedicated… VPS is so much better from the viewpoint of what I have to take care of. As long as the O/S & apps are good, I don’t have to worry about the hardware, that’s someone elses job. Considering the logistics involved if something failed, no thanks.
Be nice if everyone could afford proper SAN’s to back their CPU power, but then I guess their price wouldn’t be as low would it…
