It doesn't matter if I can run the mysql server. It matters if the workaround they made would not work any more because mysql would work differently then what the program expects. Any way the problem is for now solved as I've managed to get the old Debain 4.0 server running after I removed the...
The problem here is that this version of MySQL had a bug which the developers handled internally via the code so I could brake something and not now it. The program is old and we are not maintaining it and the devs that programmed it are not available to us any more.
OK. I think this is finaly it. I've managed to uninstall mdamd completly and had to do some reconfiguring so that update-grub correctly set up menu.lst - at first it just kept using /dev/md0 instead of the new /dev/hda1. After the removal of mdadm the VM stopped using the CPU and is now runing...
I guess I spoke to soon - the computer booted normaly then it just halted back to a crawl so it's not fixed. Something weird is happneing here. I've also uninstalled mdadm so that it would not interfere while booting but it still the same very slow and unresponsive.
I' will now try to find the...
OK I got some more info now and I think this is solved and is not a problem with etch itself. When I tried to install new packages I got come weird errors that perl is missing. When I went to the folders to see what is going on I saw that some folders don't have the permissions set just "?" So I...
Old version: dd write speed cca 120kB/s. I'm now trying to upgrade the system to see if maybe there is some update that was not done that could fix this. Also one weird thing is only 2 modules are listed in lsmod: piix and e1000
Freshly installed version:
dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1b count=1000k
cca 250MB/s
the cloned version is now still booting for almost 2 hours because it's doing a journal recovery on raid devices. I'll update this when I get into the machine. If you have an idea how to test the cpu I would be...
Freshly installed debian 4.0r9 works without a problem. The problem I have is the system that has the issues has a custom compiled MySQL server that work's around some issues and I can't just replace it because I don't know what exactly the developers did for this workaround so I need to get it...
This is what I got from the guest and host system. I don't really see anything that would be of interest except that piix3 in dmesg on the guest.
# HOST
## dmesg -w
[ 74.375842] device tap100i0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 74.380944] vmbr0: port 2(tap100i0) entered forwarding state

The thing is I don't know much about this system since it was purposely built by some other company to host an app database.
It's still puzzling me though that VirtualBox runs it perfectly.
Anyway, thanks for the tips @LnxBil. I'll update the thread when I get some answers to this questions.
I wouldn't mind if it took long to boot but when it reaches the login prompt and I log in it just so slow. And the graph on the control panel is showing disk speeds around 500kB/s.
The first thing I've used was qcow2, then I tried raw and after both failed I converted to vmdk so that I could transfer to another hyper-visor to test it there. On all three of them I had the same problem and this all running on an i7 with raid 1 on zfs. When I install a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.4...
IDE is connection type vmdk is disk image type. I'm using IDE as the connection type. If I use virtio or sata it won't work because then I have to reconfigure grub to work with one of those and perhaps virtio is not even possible since the guest is Debain 4.0.
I've migrated an old Debian 4.0 box to proxmox using clonezilla. The guest has mdadm raid setup and so I've reconfigured it to work in the VM. When I run it on proxmox using vmdk disk image the performance is just unbearable. The Host system says that the cpu is running at 100% but when I go...
