  • So, you are reading things I didn’t write. I’m not defending him about steam games etc… The only good will here about any of it is the work toward better Linux life.

    I agree billionaires shouldn’t exist.

    I don’t like steam.

    I don’t really do much gaming… And it’s worth stuff from GOG.

    Chill out. I’m not the fanboi you are looking for.

    I’m only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.

    On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I’m game to at least watch.


  • Not advocating for our against but 2 thoughts here:

    1: Gabe isn’t Musk. Yes money etc but don’t immediately jump there without other malfeasance please. Caution absolutely but don’t ascribe one rich assholes shit to another.

    2: He probably has hard data on accessibility… Possibly more than nearly anyone else. There’s a HUGE portion of the population that can’t use “traditional” controllers or other input devices. And that’s not even going into the medical realm.

    Could game Gabe be starting his villain phase? Sure! But until more negative details come out I’m just hoping this is investments he’d use toward a new steam controller.




  • Awesome, so that’s good news. Disks probably just fine.

    My next thoughts are on the service itself then… Your service providing the share might be getting throttled or not getting direct access to kernel hooks for performance.

    Simplest test I would think is set up Samba or NFS in the host itself, not a container. Try a large transfer there. If speed isn’t an issue that way, then something at the container level is hindering you.


  • Hmm, at a glance those all look to be CMR.

    To rule this out ideally, a tool like iostat (part of sysstat tools) can help. While moving data, and with the problem happening, if you run something like “iostat 1 -mx” and watch for a bit, you might be able to find an outlier or see evidence of if the drives are overloaded or of data is queueing up etc.

    Notably watch the %util on the right side.

    https://www.golinuxcloud.com/iostat-command-in-linux/ can help here a bit.

    The %util is how busy the communication to the drive is… if maxed out, but the written per second is junk, then you may have a single bad disk. If many are doing it, you may have a design issue.

    If %util doesn’t stay pegged, and you just see small bursts, then you know the disks are NOT the issue and can then focus on more complex diagnosis with networking etc.
