No where in the textbook stated that RAID 10 must NOT cause downtime to replace a disk. This is NOT a scam, please dont make any more false accusations.
FAT32 file system won't let me store files bigger than 4gb.
THIS IS A SCAM! Be aware!
Industry-Leading 100% Uptime Guarantee
I guess that isn't proper to be posted on their site.
Would you be happier if they said, "In an abundance of caution, even though we don't need it, we're scheduling some downtime....." ?
Nah, he'd rather go with old disks that either perform really bad or fails and loses data
I know most everyone in this thread work for the company but for anyone else out there beware! Just watch how everyone is attacking me for no reason at all but to protect you!
PMS is high on this one.

C) Exemptions: The Downtime Guarantee does not apply to Service interruptions caused by (i) periodic scheduled maintenance or repairs undertaken by VirMach from time to time
lol
The ENTIRE POINT OF RAID 10 IS ZERO DOWNTIME
THIS MAKES NO SENSE!
That's it, I'm suing Virmach. I haven't been paid in years!
A penny saved is a penny earned
Dude, you claim to have 15 years of experience in this field.
This should not even shock you.
Can you tell me how you got the conclusion of RAID10 = ZERO DOWNTIME?
zero downtime for a disk replacement
I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even noticed the downtime if VirMach didn't send the email
I lost my words. All I can say is good luck to all the providers which you are using
I'm on a lot of providers and generally add on 2 new companies every year. NEVER had this issue.

I have nothing more to say
I just took out one of my disks from my raid10 array and I lost my 17 BTC stored on it. Help I thought it should have no downtime
FWIW, I've rebuilt an array or two in my day and have generally taken them offline during the rebuild. Depending on the usage pattern of the server of course.
Please send me the drives and I will happily recover your 17 BTC. I charge a fee of 16 BTC.
Lol
I am speechless reading OP posts..
So you're earless.
Don't delete this thread even if OP requests later on.
Shows the true nature of the girl.
damnit. now (s)he learns about hot-swap.
Hello @lowfront,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Your voice have been heard loud and clear. I just checked and... saw that your VPS is running on the RAID 10. It will take up to 4 hours to do some maintenance.
Is that okay with you?
RAID Satisfaction Engineer,
Yura.
