Alex,

Block device performance is never spectacular on these virtualized machines -- that's why we use them for redundant front-ends.

However, having a single CPU and 1G of RAM is certainly not helping. If I add a CPU and increase RAM to 3G can I restart the VM? Will Nexus start itself automatically?

Thanks,

Denis

I've also discovered that basically the jobs on nexus are broken, and there's 
nothing obvious as to why. I suspect a nexus restart may fix it, but since I 
don't know if it's being used or not, I suggest doing it at a quieter time of 
day.

The trash appears to build up and never get emptied; the automated empty job 
appears to fail as well. Plus, the performance of IO on the VM is so hideously 
bad that deleting files is a real nightmare; to clean up the code, I had to 
execute:

cd sonatype-work/nexus/trash
for i in */*/*
do
rm -rf $i &
done

Whilst you can theoretically do this in a single rm -rf, the jobs appear to be 
the only way to do this in a reasonable period of time. As a result we now have 
almost 1/2 the box space free.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2             19G  8.3G  9.7G  47% /

To avoid the problems in the future, if Nexus isn't going to play ball, we 
should consider setting up a cron job to do the same thing, or log in and 
periodically flush it manually. Perhaps this will be fixed with a Nexus 2.x 
install instead.
