    All of the ARM servers in France and Canada are now gone.

    @OVH_Matt soooo.... any chance you can spare a few minutes now and get us some instructions on how to rebuild this kernel in a way that will work better with the platform? I mean, we sold out every server for you, least you could do is give us the tools to make it more usable?

    Cheers!

    Oles said, that the stock on the cheap server is limited, not everyone will get one.
    So I would not expect to see them in stock as often you like.

  • @TheLinuxBug I can't make any promises, but I'll ask to see if there are instructions to be found anywhere. This information will have to come from our Kernel guys, and I'm not sure they have guides available.

    The reports of the driver issues have all been collected and I've already forwarded it on to our devs.

    @OVH_Matt get some stock for us as well, cause this is ridiculous - unless we are still waiting for that laser to start spawning new servers

    Has anyone been able to boot any kernel below < 4.5?

    There is a big performance gain from 4.4 kernels compared to 4.5-9 from the test I've made in ARM machines on other providers.

    I tried Debian 8 and installing 3.16 from there, but I seem to be unable to boot anything other than 4.5.

    Also with Marvell Armada370? Because otherwise that means nothing.

    Yea, Marvell Armada 370/XP quad core.

    4.9.93 kernel, ~12k r/s, 0% idle, -c500

    4.4.127 kernel, ~22k r/s, 220% idle, -c500

    Client and Server load are in different networks by ~8ms ping.

    What does it take to get them to spend enough time to give us some documentation (something one could argue that they should have done in the first place..) a case of beer(soda)? 2 cases of beer (soda)? I am sure we could all pass around a hat and come up with enough to make it worth while... I mean... what is the motivator needed here? We already sold all the servers... what's the price now, our first born children? :)

    Cheers!

    What's the actual problem with the sources? Are they really unusable without instructions or just require some experience with building kernels?

    on arm it's not your usual building kernel stuff because of the missing grub implementation and the uImage stuff and all that. their sources at least have the configs that might be needed, so a plain compilation run from that might work, I still haven't tried yet.

    by now I put some TB onto that box already and am not going to to mess around with it any further, so if anyone else wants to try and is looking for help, let me know I gladly share what I remember so far ;-)

    I have canadian 2T, and I will not to renew it. Because peering to google drive is bad.

    This is upload speed to google drive:

    Uploading 100mb.test
    Uploaded 1ilH5QCK-sUI6BHIqf2kE4bfnCUf3RomJ at 2.2 MB/s, total 104.9 MB

    real 0m46.981s
    user 0m43.400s
    sys 0m1.040s

    This is google drive upload from my KImsufi RBX:

    Uploading 100mb.test
    Uploaded 18ToVKjocJBhJg8c12wF2q3H-Mo5dVYHI at 6.2 MB/s, total 104.9 MB

    real0m17.150s
    user0m12.656s
    sys0m1.300s

    Could anybody who have FR (GRA or RBX) armbox post the upload result to google drive?

    Thanks. I was talking about the Essential servers. I have one of the ARM servers and I agree that it's not very good. Of course, I think that is because support told me that they weren't going to fix the poor networking issue. I was quite literally only using it for for a secondary backup. If they decide to actually work this issue, $5.99/month is would be a good value.

    Just install Debian 9 with distribution kernel and delete the uBoot armada file in /boot immediately after SSHing into the server. Reboot and then setup as needed. Works perfectly, no errors, and no stupid throttling.

    I have followed falzo instruction, no issue with iperf, just 2 MB/s upload to google drive kinda slow compared to kimsufi atom upload speed

    Me too, I have one in GRA and upload speed to Google maxout at 2.2MB/s

    Browser gives me 3 MBps, RClone mount gives 6.5 MBps and RClone copy gives 10 MBps.

  • This is too embarrassing for a new thread, so sorry for being a bit off-topic, but:
    How on earth does one register at SoYouStart?

    I tried to login with my OVH credentials, but they weren't accepted. I can login at ovh.com, and there they have a registration field right next to the login, as it should be. But I can ofc only order OVH products there.
    If I use the "forgot password" link, ANY email adress is accepted, and it says "You will receive an email. Follow the instructions and then click on "Log in"." But of course it never arrives, cause they don't have any of those adresses in their system.

    I have searched everywhere (?) but can't find a link to register!
    Can anyone help? Maybe even with a pic, for dummies?
    Thank you, and please no jokes (there is one specific meme that would be appropriate here).

  • Networks speed seems to be slow for me (arm-2t gra). download speed is less than 100mbps and upload is around 50mbps

    did you try the steps mentioned in this thread? and I quote someone:

    Just install Debian 9 with distribution kernel and delete the uBoot armada file in /boot immediately after SSHing into the server. Reboot and then setup as needed.
