ok great. fyi I'm doing consulting work for someone who is storing & indexing > 8 Tb/day in AWS and looking to scale to 250 Tb/day. It's full scala, but I'd love to benchmark a mirage-based solution on my spare time and to push them in this direction if the figures make sense

DHCP should work too (and has worked in the past, so this is no doubt a minor issue, despite being difficult to debug).

I used the ec2.sh script, but I think that I was on the wrong track anyway as local IP should be retrieved from the instance using "GET http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4"Ârather than DHCP, shouldn't it? That's why I inquired about the status of client functions in cohttp

I'll take a look at this -- which script did you use to wrap up the EC2 kernel for upload William? (just curious if you've been using the AWS OCaml bindings for this, or doing it manually)

Yes, I tried that but the error only occurs in EC2; it's raised somewhere in the DHCP module it seems ..

Hi,

I usually start by recompiling the app as a Unix process (using "mirage-unix" rather than "mirage-xen"). Assuming the bug manifests there (probably: I suspect the String.sub problem is coming from the http-level rather than the xen driver-level) then you can use regular debugging tools, set OCAMLRUNPARAM=b etc.

Debugging in-situ on EC2 is currently a matter of inserting printf's and reading the code-- not ideal.

hello everyone

I'm running the simplest cohttp application possible in EC2, the instance boots but quickly complains :Â

Am I doing something wrong somewhere and what would be a good strategy to debug this?Â

Thanks
