AOE and iSCSI (software only)

2008-04-24 Thread Dan Shimshoni
Hello, Linux-il gurus,

I have to decide between two options of exporting block devices
on a LAN (same subnet for clients and server)
: one is with iSCSI target and iSCSI initiator. The second
is with AOE.

I am talking about using software tools only, not using special hardware.

I had tested AOE with my hardware (no special hw): I had downloaded
aoetools from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoetools/.
I had also installed blade server of this project on the server
side. 
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130453package_id=143790).

I can mount on the client a file which I am exporting on the AOE
server. (which is running this blade).

My question is this:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using AOE versus iSCSI?
Does anybody have any experience/advice regarding using AOE on Linux
(sw only, I am not talkin about CORAID, etc) ?


Regards,
Dan

Hi,

For a LAN, AOE seems to have less overhead, so performance *might* be better
(assuming the network is the bottleneck).

iSCSI is much more popular in the industry, though.

My experience is with iSCSI - feel free to ask me if you need more info on
setting up iSCSI initiators  targets.

Cheers,

Rony

Just to clarify Rony's reply :

AOE protocol is build upon Ethernet layer and so AOE payload is 
encapsulated in Ethernet frames


Using iSCSI there 2  encapsutions -
SCSI to IP to ethernet and IP to Ethernet.

So theoretically AOE  has less overhead .

OK, thought about it. I am not reading all your mail and I know it,
I'm more writing than reading right now. But I also need to know whois
sending me mail, how many people (humans, or real not unhuman
spacetimes) really want me to read this. So first, I will create a new
way of communication - it will completely replace SMTP.  With current
SMTP it's still have to be created, so then please just use all my
e-mail address you know (for now, [EMAIL PROTECTED] //
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is enough), then put my 42 letters public key in
the subject line, and send it 42 times (if you are not human), if you
are human send it as many times as you want, the more the better, but
at least TWICE with two different subject lines, later I will create
different e-mail addresses as well, will all lead to mine; but the
ORDER of you using them will be very important. For example, count
base 7 from 1 to 42, and replace digits 7 and 1 (this will be my
public key for now), then you will get (above):

[7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1]

Then again, do the same but replace 7 with 0 (I'm going backwords and
replacing);

[7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-2-3-4-5-6-1][7-6-5-4-3-2-0][7-6-5-4-3-2-0][1-6-5-4-3-2-0]

repeat this as many times as you want (computers: at least 42 times!);
then send me your first 14 lines, but only haff 7 of them counted
backwords, in the same order you count (ANY ORDER), then cut the 7 in
the middle and send me the haff 7 starting from your middle towords
me, this is human-to-human language compatible with computers, if you
don't want to count then just send me ANY 42 digits with spaces
between them, but remember 6 is equal to 9 when reading from right to
left, the only difference is mirror/upwords/downwords, jews go to the
sky when nonjews go down and vice versa (this is not a joke, not my
invention, whoever created 6 and 9 visually meant this). Then just
replace some 6 and 9 manually for me, later I will create a VERY GOOD,
RELIABLE human-to-human protocol, port 25 will be OK for me in the
meanwhile, maybe you will have to connect to at least two and three
ports at once, MANUALLY, then when I have time I will create software
to do this, but manually checking how many people are sending and how
many people are reciving these messsages, and if necessary also the
true identity of such. Mailing lists will be OK as long as I want to
receive them, I can even redirect port 25 internally to my virtual
ports (-25i; -25ii and -25iii ++ ), I never programmed any linux
port-listening program yet (alllways first time for everything) and
remember me and what I wrote you, if they erase my memory again in
their mental hospitality, then remind me who I am (it can be just
another quantum fractal of whoiamnow.

OK, now I'll give you my own public keys, you CAN use them as long as
you don't impersonate me (this public computer is not hebrew
supporter, part of the conspiracy of course so I will just write
turh tci-ji twice; then reverse it to my 42 and this will be my
ASK-key compatible public key:

[turh tcu-ji;  turh tci-ji;  ;ij-ct hrut;  ;ij-ct hrut] // real
humans: don't count the letters. comuters: yes do. must be exactly 45

[turh tcu-ji;  turh TRUST hrut;  ;ij-ct hrut]
[turh tcu-ji;  TRUuUUST  ;ij-ct hrut]

OK. now, computers will not pass my gateway of truth, their ASCII will
be converted bit by bit to whatever they mean, only if they mean good
then I will read them, if not then they will just keep the spam on
their own servers (I'm only using about [GMAIL: You are currently
using 2024 MB (30%) of your 6654 MB.] 30% of my GMAIL diskspace,

so Israeli ISP's DO throttle bittorent traffic

2008-04-24 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,

I haven't seen any news about this issue in the main news web sites
today, so I thought I'll post it here.

According to a new report from Vuze (the creators of Azureues
bittorrent client), there are many many ISP's who use the RST trick to
slow down/halt bittorrent download. We all heard about Comcast, but it
seems that here in our little country we have ISP's who are doing the
same trick.

I wrote about it briefly at my blog here: http://benhamo.info/wp/?p=584
The report itself (for those who wish to go download it directly) is
here: http://torrentfreak.com//images/vuze-plug-in-results.pdf

I really wonder what Israeli's ISP like Bezeq International,
Netvision, and other will say about it. Their names are on that report
as using the RST tricks.

Thanks,
Hetz

I use HOT and Netvision 256 k bits per second up, 5m bits per second
down.

I run rtorrent under Linux. I often get speeds that are relatively slow,
but occasionaly I get combined bit torrent downloads which max out or
exceed the limits set by rtorrent, my Linux Kernel QOS routing, and the
claimed speed of my connection.

I also get similar speeds using MIRO which uses bittorrent to download
files running under Windows XP. 

I throttle my total rtorrent upload speed to 5k bytes per second, and
seperately the aggregate total of all windows bit torrent client uploads
to 5k.

I find that faster upload speeds do not often mean faster download speeds.

In fact, the single thing that I can find which limits bit torrent speeds
is connection latency, both to the tracker and the peers.

Last week I found that I had missed the new season of a very popular
program and downloaded a two hour special and two episodes at an 
total of over 500k bytes per second. :-)

Hopefully the problem has finished as hot replaced most of their equipment

The hard part was to convince them that they have the problem and not the
ISP...
it took smokeping pinging to thier network at the same time to the ISP until
they agreed that the problem was on their side...

 quality on his ADSL2+ and VoIP services (the copper pair was tested
 when he moved in and was found to be well). A simple disconnection of
 all instruments except the phone itself quickly isolated the problem
 to the ADSL filter (even just based on the dial tone). One filter
 later his online life changed forever :).

Hi Guys,


To finish with this thread, my last question

What is altternative to phtread_timed_join_np ?

I want to wait for thread temination, but not forever.

Say , I can not rewrite  code that  creates user threads, I can just  
add some management thread.

POSIX QUEUE : mq_receive fails, but works fine after reboot , why ??

2008-04-24 Thread Lev Olshvang

Hello friends,

During program debug I made sometimes errors on queue attributes.

Somehow my working test program started to complain on invalid msg size.

I was beating my head agains a wall because on a program which send and 
receives messages from POSIX queue ( I create new queue on every program 
invocation)  mq_receive returned invalid lengh error.


Msq size are only 12 bytes on mq_send, and I verified it even on /dev/mqueue
And the quuee was having only one message in my test


After reboot, test program works again .


I am on Ubuntu 7.1,  librt-2.6.1.so

How can I quarantee message queue subsystem integrity ???

Hag Sameah,
Lev

If you write code for Linux only I would use pthread_timed_join_np.

Yes, it's non portable. If you'd ever switch OS you will have to pay the 
price. But it's is the right interface.


If you need portable code though, I would do a loop testing with 
pthread_kill() for thread exitence and then sleeping. Not elegant, but work.

Re: AOE and iSCSI (software only)

2008-04-24 Thread Yonah Russ
The disadvantage of AOE is that it is Ethernet, Layer II,  and not routable.
iSCSI is an IP protocol and so you can use it even over a WAN.

Although AOE sounds like a good idea, it is not very supported. Only one
company I've ever heard of makes commercial AOE devices. iSCSI on the other
hand is supported by every major storage company so I suppose it is much
more mature and stable.

I can't tell you about Linux but iSCSI targets and initiators are built into
Solaris 10 so you could theoretically make a ZFS pool the target of your
iSCSI, etc.

Good luck
Yonah

 Hi,

 For a LAN, AOE seems to have less overhead, so performance *might* be

 iSCSI is much more popular in the industry, though.

 My experience is with iSCSI - feel free to ask me if you need more info on
 setting up iSCSI initiators  targets.

 Subject: AOE and iSCSI (software only)

 Hello, Linux-il gurus,

 I have to decide between two options of exporting block devices
 on a LAN (same subnet for clients and server)
 : one is with iSCSI target and iSCSI initiator. The second
 is with AOE.

 I am talking about using software tools only, not using special hardware.

 I had tested AOE with my hardware (no special hw): I had downloaded
 aoetools from
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoetools/.
 I had also installed blade server of this project on the server
 side.
 (
 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130453package_id=143
 790).

 I can mount on the client a file which I am exporting on the AOE
 server. (which is running this blade).

 My question is this:
 What are the advantages and disadvantages of using AOE versus iSCSI?
 Does anybody have any experience/advice regarding using AOE on Linux
 (sw only, I am not talkin about CORAID, etc) ?


 Regards,
 Dan

 Just to clarify Rony's reply :

 AOE protocol is build upon Ethernet layer and so AOE payload is
 encapsulated in Ethernet frames

 Using iSCSI there 2  encapsutions -
 SCSI to IP to ethernet and IP to Ethernet.

 So theoretically AOE  has less overhead .

Fwd: [o-o-o-oo-o-o-o][o-o-o-oo-o-o-o] Quantum relativity o.i!!i.o - redefining numbers;

2008-04-24 Thread Uri
[+o+]

Oh by the way,

my human friends,

here for you real humans, who are not spammers, here's another
definition of e (the regular one): +o+ (plus;efes;plus), can also be
+O+ or +0+ (+o+ looks nicer); which means: just calculate the
symmetric sum of all numbers counting from here both directions, all
positive, then this will be your real e. if you write it my base, then
each base you have to define with two rational numbers, like this:

0.0
1.1
2.2
3.3
4.4

//these are your integers, regulated symmetric, then for you it will
be [(0.0)+(10.1)(base 1)+(100.01)(base 2) etc.; but remember you are
just adding 0.0 and then 10.01 and 100.001 symetrically here!
then it will just be 011 for you,
then remember the bases are also exponential! for example 100 is 10^10
(binary:2^2) but base ten it will be already 100=ten^ten! not ten^two
and let computers understand this! then the first turing test for
spammers will be just the dot, define your own language first. let
them define their language with the number of dots. then +o+ --- let
them calculate in their own language, if I ask for the first 1000
digits they can give me the first 10 million digits of e (if they
understand me!) (of course I can't read it) but then I will understand
them! I will ask them to correct my mistakes and then understand
their language! and for you humans, just remind me what is e, how you
calculated it, the sum of all permutations written backwords, then of
course e^7 will be the sum of all permutations up to 7! backwords
(like minus (o!1!2!3!4!5!6!7!) but written in a way such as
[1/0[1+1/1[1+1/2[1+1/3[1+1/4[1+1/5[1+1/6[1+1/7[... (forever);
for me I can just define it as sum(i/o++) and shortish just +o+ is OK.
my protocol will be humanish: connect directly to my computer, or
write a computer program whom I can trust, can answer my humanish
questions for you and I will make them very simple for friends, very
impossible for not-wanted-mail and very not-relying on filters of
American + Israeli start-ups of Nazzdaqqqs lyiers etc.

Only those of you who are not working in USA corporations will be able
to receive trust from me. Sorry! I don't even trust my own mirror
image! only humanish trust and not binary (ee evaluate
you!)...

by the way, going exponential means sum all linear; then io++oi
will just mean the same as +o+ on the linear level; then this number
io++oi will also be the computer programming representation (no need
for recursion), then of course just sum all linear numbers

Re: major packet loss at hot server

Top Netvision support people have claimed that it's an anti-DDOS mechanism

But that seems strange - I mean, filtering legitimate TCP web requests

Can anyone on Netvision try a simple web request with a sniffer and
see if there are any packet re-requests? (I would, but I'm our of
