Thanks for everyones input. It turns out that my VPS provider operates a firewall on the VPS containers.

I would use NFS with autofs. Your server will boot if it isn't avaiable and it will mount it when you need it.

why read is faster when using O_DIRECT flag?
I copied a 10GB of file in my SSD which has read bandwidth of around 3.3GB/s, benchmarked using fio command.

After that I tried to read the file in small...
O_DIRECT is faster than a generic read because it bypasses the operating system's buffers. You are reading directly from the drive. There are a couple of reasons this could be faster though keep in mind at this level things get insanely setup specific. Example of what I mean by setup specific factors: if you have a dri...

In my experience, worrying about outer track versus inner track is no longer worth the effort. The difference in performance is just too small, when factored against other performance impacting things (RAID, caching, filesystem fragmentation, etc).

RAID or other forms of mirroring in the same machine are NOT a backup. What if the whole server dies and takes its disks with it? What if there is a power surge or a fire or flood?

icinga NRPE vs. SNMP
Is there a list of the pro/s and con/s of NRPE vs. SNMP when using icinga? I have no idea what's the best way to handle the returned data of plugins back to my icinga monitoring machine. Usage of SSH as connection is no option for me.
I see no where that Icinga or Nagios use snmp to handle returned data of plugins. Icinga use nrpe and you don't need a ssh connection, nrpe bind a socket that listen on port 5666, so you have only to open tcp connection on that port.

welcome to the forum. I dont know what you exactly mean with 1) „common samples“. But train and test should have no common rows/observations. They should be two distinct sets. Having duplicates in test is not a good idea since you want to test how well your model works on data not seen so far by the model. Duplicates i...

Take a look here . Seems that this behavior can be a result of OSX not being able to resolve its FQDN from its assigned DNS servers. So, check to make sure you have a working DNS entry for whatever you want the server's name to be in whatever DNS servers you're using on this server.

Given that you indicate you are copying to E:\Backups that it represents another server, it sounds like you are using mapped drives.

routing all network traffic over a internet host

Your approach won't work because the way IP routing works in general. Explaining IP routing here is not suitable for a Q&A site like Serverfault, it would take far too much text. The way to make it happen is like this: Create a tunnel for IP packets between source and your desired router. Ensure that your routing table...

missing ssh key in results returned by ssh-keyscan?

I rent a dedicated server based on Debian 10 ( OVH ) The server is configured with an ECDSA SSH key (henceforth named [CODE] ) and I connect without any warning/error message to the server without ever g...
You seem to be confusing the host keys with your personal user keys. These are separate and distinct. [CODE] retrieves the host keys for a given host. It does nothing with user keys.

Does SQL implementations (or at least SQL Azure) skip obvious duplicate data with joins when returning data?
Say I have: very wide table A where I need all columns that I need to join with a small table B that has a LOT of rows. Of course when I join these two tables I get returned all the content of A for every row of B. Is this internally being optimized away or does all this data being sent over the wire? Because if it's t...
It will repeat the content. SQLServer does not try to second guess why you wanted all this data, nor does it try to interpolate to reduce the overall volume sent. If you join tables together & over partial keys (ie, not 1:1) then you will get this multiplication effect (ie, 1:n) per row in table A. If you are getting a...

Should Development / Testing / QA / Staging environments be similar?

I'm not sure I've completely understood your question, but I'll try and answer.

How to determine why MySQL suddenly stops on Ubuntu

My MySQL version is now: [CODE] Checking [CODE] shows the server hasn't rebooted in a few days, so it's not an issue with M...
It can be stopped due to OOM (out of memory killer). In short: when memory, swap included, is almost completely full, the Linux Kernel can kill some demanding processes to alleviate memory pressure. Does [CODE] report something?

How to detect client character encoding?
I programmed a telnet server using C as programming language but I have a problem to send characters with emphases (é, è, à ...). The character encoding is different between the telnet clients (windows, linux, putty, ...). What can I do to detect the character encoding of the clients which are connected to my server ?
Guessing the encoding of a message based on its byte values is always imperfect, although it can be made to give relatively accurate results. There are libraries available to do this, e.g. IBM's ICU. But the preferable option is always either to standardize client and server on one encoding and always use that, or to f...

You can rsync from one disk location to another, but as far as I know there's no way to store the deltas rsync would use (because there's no way to guarantee that the files are still identical from one box to the next). You COULD do what you're asking with a 500GB or 1TB external hard drive (rsync to that, take it home...

Why "SET LOCAL statement_timeout" does not work as expected with PostgreSQL functions?

As Dan pointed out in the comment above, try renaming your .ost files and see if that resolves the issue.
