The reason is explicitly stated in the Terms and Conditions. As for VPS, yes, they are aware of the issue. Good thing you mentioned about that. This is actually about Linux Schedulers.
Linux calls it Completely Fair Scheduler or CFS for short. It has been implemented only last year (If you exclude CK's patches), so i'm still wary of putting it in production use. Granular implementation and front end admin is very crude at the moment and is not even comparable to *NIX and Mainframes, But going nicely forward as well. The only one that i can think of that uses this is OpenVZ. It has it's own scheduler plus the OS scheduler, which in turns models their virtualization technology like Solaris Containers technology. This is one of the exact other reasons why I told and implemented this to a client to use Solaris Fair Share Scheduler on all Solaris Containers on their VCS nodes. You don't want 1 Oracle Container monopolizing all the 12 CPU, starving other 5 DB Containers for CPU resources in the process. I'm watching Linux CFS progress closely. It's not there yet for the Enterprise Market, but nevertheless an important technology puzzle piece in the Linux virtualization world. -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On Feb 8, 2008 11:31 AM, Eduardo Tongson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Terribly OT also.
