[CentOS] bad iscsi performance after upgrade to CentOS 7.2
hi all, after i upgraded a physical server (SUN FIRE X4170) from CentOS 6.8 to 7.2 i am not able to get the same iSCSI read performance. the server is connected to HP P2000 Storage via 2 x 1GbE Ethernet. CentOS 6.8 gives me full read performance on raw iSCSI devices /dev/sdxx at 115MB/s. CentOS 7.2 allows only 90-100MB/s, read performance varies and is not stable like for 6.8 the multipath performance on 7.2 is even worse. CentOS 6.8 allows to read a full speed and stable 220MB/s. CentOS 7.2 maximum was 140MB/s after i disabled readahead for multipath devices in tuned. btw. i tried many recommended optimizations in 7.2, but i am not getting the raw iSCSI read performance than on 6.8, and on 6.8 i had no special tuning für iSCSI. mtu 9000 is set and verified for both OS, other settings like network buffers are almost identical. has anyone an idea why iSCSI read performance degraded in CentOS 7.2 ? best regards ulrich ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The benefit of so-called general security for the rest of us who do not have to bear its individual specific cost. The is no evidence that this sort of stuff works. It is just done so that if anything bad happens the authorities can claim that they did something preventative which they can point to. Regardless of how ineffectual it was. Automated security is BS. It has always been BS and it always will be BS. That is my OPINION. It may not be a fact for I lack empirical evidence to support it. However, it has long been my observation that when people place excessive trust in automation they are are eventually and inevitably betrayed by it. Often at enormous cost. Let me give you an example of stupidity in action with respect to signed certificates. I have a MacBookPro c. early 2009. There have been five or six major releases of OSX since then. Being a cautious type I download the upgrade installer apps and archive them before installing and upgrading. Over this past weekend my MB stopped booting. It would get to the Apple symbol and go black. Much trial, error, and research later I discover that this is sometimes occurs when a MB has been repeatedly upgraded and that a clean install is the recommended cure. Oh, by-the-way, if you ever have to do this then do not use the Apple Migration Assistant app when you are done. You will be sorry. So, I get out my archived Installer app, go to install it and BANG! My MB proclaims that "Somebody has tampered with the application or it is corrupted!". OH NO! This impediment however is strictly an artefact of signing code with short term certificates. I simply had to reset the date on my MB back to some future date when the certificate was valid and everything worked fine. Of course this took me a great deal of frustrating effort to discover what had happened to all of my archived copies and how to fix it. In the middle of a system recovery I might add. But hey, what is my time worth in comparison to the security those certificates provided? SECURITY that was trivially evaded in the end. Exactly what mindless person or committee of bike-shedders decided that software should be distributed so that copies of it expire? What security issue was addressed by this decision? What benefit to the public was achieved? When real people suffer real inconvenience and real loss of productive effort because of mindless adhesion to bromide based cur

If you can ssh, this will mean kernel is still happily running, if not, then kernel might have panicked. I would do what Mark suggests: clean it to avoid overheating (but don't do it yet, until you pinpoint the place where it fails). BIOS turns the machine off completely when temperature threshold is tripped, so tripping temperature sensor threshold is not your case as your screen backlight is still on. However, overheating video chip may do what you see. And it also may open some micro crack. I also would do the following: attach external screen, make them both ON, and see if only internal panel goes black or both of them do. Tell us what your experiments reveal.

Your statement claimed a factual basis. I was naturally curious to see what evidence supported your claim. Citation required. Allow me an example. To quote you: "The usual way a private key gets compromised is by theft or by tampering with its generation. Putting yourself on a hamster wheel of constant certificate generation and distribution simply increases the opportunities for key theft and tampering." Now, when you asked "what possible benefit accrues from changing secured device keys on a frequent basis?" I pointed you to letsencrypt's documentation, which describes the benefits of 90-day certificates. So, please describe how I am "claiming a factual basis" while you are not. Automated security is BS. It has always been BS and it always will be BS. That is my OPINION. It may not be a fact for I lack empirical evidence to support it. However, it has long been my observation that when people place excessive trust in automation they are are eventually and inevitably betrayed by it. Often at enormous cost. This is what I consider "enormous cost": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed#Certificate_renewal_and_revocation After a major security bug which exposed private keys, hundreds of thousands of servers did not take the required action to secure their services, and the vast majority of those that took *some* action did it incorrectly and did not resolve the problem. Had those sites been using letsencrypt and renewing automatically, the exposed keys would have been replaced within 90 days (typically 60 max, so 30 days on average). Instead, it is likely that the problem will remain a risk for "months, if not years, to come." And that's empirical evidence, which you have yet to offer. This impediment however is strictly an artefact of signing code with short term certificates. I simply had to reset the date on my MB back to some future date when the certificate was valid and everything worked fine. Apple's intermediate certs have a 10 year lifetime. If you consider that "short term" then I fear that nothing is suitable in your opinion. But hey, what is my time worth in comparison to the security those certificates provided? SECURITY that was trivially evaded in the end. Fixing your clock is not "evading" security.

While I haven't kept records of dates and times, I don't think it was at any specific time. I saw it 2 or 3 times previously, probably some Fedora version,... my tired old brain won't divulge that info right now.
