HostSolutions Shrinking Disk Space

seems many of them is confunding this terms ... any way thanks for be more explicated than me.
I/O latency is acceptable now. The only important thing is the data safety. If the data is safe, I don't mind small problems.
did we lost something ? no ... i know what data lost meen so i had prefere support all bllaming people but not lost any data .... so no worry . Also please take backup time to time to be more safe.
Sorry, had to
Anyway if there's one thing that @cociu has shown in this thread is that data integrity is a big concern for him. He's definitely more patient that I would have been with the whole fsck fiasco to make sure no data was lost/corrupted.
Hello
withowt joking , i have lost about 4 years ago all my data and was not a placer .. so yes i do all my best to recuperate when is some problem. But eaven one is try unfortunatly somethimes is imposible.
well, if works, dont fix it!
Can I still get one of these shrinking 1TB+ servers? If so, @cociu or someone, will you post the link. I'm retarded and cannot find it. I have one of the 400GB servers (which did not shrink). ...so if the sale of these has ended I'm looking for an exception to be made due to my being a current customer, pretending that's a good reason.
Edit: Nevermind, I found the link.
I think that now @cociu knows not to dip the servers in cold water.
Thanks for the reminder that, so it seems, was urgently needed.
A disk benchmark for a storage server, particularly a cheap one, is not
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[my disk] ...but ratherscp fatfile me@myserver:/...or ftp0.5 MB/s writing is low but acceptable, 1 MB/s is really OK and anything faster is great.
For a normal price storage server double the numbers. Keep in mind that an 8 - 16 Mbit(!) DSL with an Mbit or so upstream is still the typical end user connectivity.
Which btw. is about the same as can be expected from a cheap cloud remote storage service. If you need a multi-MB/s storage backend then look for an adequate professional level offer.
Box has been provisioned and works very good for what I rented for .
Seen spikes of 200 mbits.
I wish this was a BuyVM story because Fsck Fiasco @Francisco has a nice ring.
wish?
Literally Hitler.

Pretty sure I have the right to run whatever benchmark I want on my VPS. I also never said that the result is bad, just that it could be better (as I have storage VPS that perform better), but given the price the VPS is great, even considering the long downtime. I'm not sure why you feel the need to play the great defender of Marius, even if there is nothing to defend. Do the benchmarks you want on your VPS and let me do the ones I prefer on mine. Same to Mr. Smith. Cool? Great!
Mine got provisioned after the wait, and is filling up nicely .
Transferring in around 500GB data, at close to 15MB/sec from my time4vps hosts.
There's practically no iowait on mine, if I'm just rsyncing data in.
I hope there are lots more clients who don't have any problems with such typical use-cases .
Sure fair enough, you are absolutely allowed to run any benchmark you want, but when you judge a fish by how high it can fly, don't be surprised if people question your judgment
I don't think I am a 'great defender' I have publicly slammed him how ridiculous his DMCA free adverts are when it comes to hurting performance for other customers, I just find the basis for judgment in 'some' of this thread to be baseless.
Anyway.. nothing personal.
It's possible that @DarioX was reacting to @bsdguy ...
erm, entirely possible, if his name is also "Mr Smith"
Although most of @DarioX's comment seemed to be addressed to @bsdguy, you're right, a certain Mr. Smith was referred to at the very end, which I didn't note properly. So you're right. :-)
Hitler learns his HostSolutions disk has shrunk.
Hitler learns that Vultr is out of $2.50 VMs.
So many comedy possibilities, so little time...
We need a Downfall parody.
Still shrinking...

i have told xxxx time , we still move some vms from local array to 3rd one ... in 2-3 days will be all ok. Please understand was a multiple errors , first mall alocation-distribution between arrays , seconf vel7 was faill and was tard 4-5 day in fsck , now we continue with moving data ..... i want to resolve it asap but is imposible.
Sorry @cociu I haven't been following the entire thread.
ok , not a problem , also you have all reason to complain in this point ,,,, unfortunatly was happened and now we work to fix this. Also is only your array in this condition ... but once is done will be all in good condition , meantime you can use the vps withowt any risk
Cociu, I really have to say this: I admire your patience and persistance. I would already have been slamming my head against a wall a few days ago. Thumbs up.
(The nice part of these ongoing problems: you'll still learn a lot from it and you'll be able to intervent such problems next time!)
Sorry, but I had to say this. I know, it's not nice when you're a customer and have a problem with your service. But knowing the hosting provider is solving the issue, is actually much nicer than having such guys that blame customers.
Only way to stop the shrinking is to use it.
Except using it is what caused the shrinking in the first place.
I admire the positivity here. This is what LET is really about: smart posts, encouraging words, beautiful sisters...
where is this sisters ?
