So, very unscientific. But 2 systems launched with eatmydata enabled on trusty on azure. 2 systems without. Systems here were 'extrasmall' (670M memory). cloud-config to do this is: | system_info: | apt_get_wrapper: | enabled: False
The /var/log/cloud-init.log will have something like: Jan 9 15:18:27 sm-eatdata0 [CLOUDINIT] util.py[DEBUG]: apt-install [eatmydata apt-get --option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold --option=Dpkg::options::=--force-unsafe-io --assume-yes --quiet install bzr pastebinit ubuntu-dev-tools ccache bzr-builddeb vim-nox git-core lftp] took 105.916 seconds Jan 9 15:26:20 sm-realsave0 [CLOUDINIT] util.py[DEBUG]: apt-install [apt-get --option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold --option=Dpkg::options ::=--force-unsafe-io --assume-yes --quiet install bzr pastebinit ubuntu- dev-tools ccache bzr-builddeb vim-nox git-core lftp] took 88.697 seconds eatmydata: 145.542 105.916 no-eatmydata: 88.697, 78.097 So... some interesting data there. I suspect that is a result of memory pressure on the vfs or something. Something to look at though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236531 Title: support running apt with eatmydata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1236531/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
