<br>
Unfortunately, I need to move <a href="http://haifux.org" target="_blank">haifux.org</a> again to a new hosting provider<br>
soon. I've signed up to a service which offers 3 GB of SSD space + 20 GB<br>
"regular disk storage". It turns out that these 20 GB run through sshfs.<br>
<br>
Haifux' current site hits the 3 GB exactly, so at least some of the<br>
site's material will need to reside on the sshfs mount. My immediate<br>
reaction was to claim the money back guarantee, but is there really a<br>
reason for it? Does anyone here have any experience to share with sshfs<br>
mounts?<br>
<br>
It seems like the disk I/O is pretty slow on the sshfs mount (~ 5 MB/s),<br>
but should this be a real concern? I mean, when would that be an issue?<br>
<br>
And yes, this is dirt cheap hosting (~$3/month). But that's not the<br>
point right now.<br>
<br>
And BTW, the SSD I/O was ~400 MB/s for write and 6.5 GB/s for read.<br>
<br>
Any insights? You will all suffer if I get this wrong... ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Eli<br>
