    May wanna contact the abusers before suspending them, and how are they abusing their box anyways ?

    I have been monitoring my boxes daily and I can confirm the abusers are active. They are hammering the disks, which performed very well earlier (the usual suspect is torrenting). I have no issues with torrenting as long as one keeps the number of jobs and peers really low.

    yep definitely noticed the huge dip in disk io performance, i put up a few ubuntu iso's to seed and throttled the upload. downloading above 70mbits the disk activity kept going into the red, reducing it to about 30-50mbits brought the sda activity down to %10-40.

    np @poisson, the networks been great though, getting stable upload/download speeds so far.

    I have been paying attention to this post, and I also purchased a vps. After two days of pending, it finally came online.
    Now I have a problem. It seems that the server has only one hard disk. If the system is reinstalled, the data will be lost. Can I re-partition?
    Thaks!

    Here is the fdisk partition dump from mine:

    Device      Start        End    Sectors    Size Type
/dev/sda1  262144 2147483614 2147221471 1023.9G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda14   2048       8191       6144      3M BIOS boot
/dev/sda15   8192     262143     253952    124M EFI System

    Repartioning should work in principle but it's not obvious to me how to do it without a "remote" mount of some sort. Maybe there is some minimal image you can install in the EFI partition and boot from it?

    At your own risk ...might consider using pivot_root to run from a ramdisk filesystem (after installing minimal system in ram) - you will be working "without a net" when rebooting - ie if bootloader gets confused by new partition table, or anything else wrong with your new installation, etc etc etc. (See takeover.sh for a rough idea how this might work)

    to be clear - I don't think this is a good idea.

    if you don't know what you are doing ... will almost certainly end in tears. And please do expect to be righteously ridiculed if you come back crying about how your tickets are being ignored and your sister will not talk to you ever again.

    and if you do know what you are doing - well then you probably should know better anyway!

    Lulz ....

    interesting idea though..

    Is there a worst case beyond you clobber all your data and have to reinstall from the client area? That doesn't sound so bad, especially since it sounds like the main data isn't there yet anyway.

    @willie said:
    worst case

    I hesitate to speculate ... but can certainly imagine reinstall getting borked (for whatever reason - as has already happened with module snafus) - and in the confusion, support is (rightfully) deprioritized - possibly also excessive reinstalls would be considered to be abuse of system resources ... so wouldn't expect refund if it came to that.

    EDIT2:

    tl;dr: better to practice and get the process dialed in and debugged on a local vm (etc) before trying your luck (and @cociu's patience) in the parfumerie fermei setup

  • williewillie Member

    I didn't realize reinstalls caused any issues at the host end, other than being disk intensive for a few minutes, just like a normal user workload at its busier moments. I like to hope the module stuff is or will be sorted. I did one reinstall so far and it went fine.

    @willie - agreed ... but you know Murphy's law

    Finally some deviation from the posts where folks were creaming for Dracula's blood.

    Is anyone else's VM stuck on "The process of VM creation is in progress. Please try again later." Received a notice that it's provisioned, however had this error message on logging into the client portal on WHMCS. No access to any VNC nor re-installation can be seen from the server's page.

    (Have sent a ticket, awaiting reply and update.)

    Oh dear.. if those boxes are not properly configured and hammering disk I/O, out they go.

    Can you tell us what you use as main router?

  • vimalwarevimalware Member

    This is why I prefer to hang on to my lxc boxes.
    Abusers can be policed much more easily and I get my guaranteed 400mbit download.

    Have you bought this 1T VPS? I am unskilled with linux.
    I mean: for three years, if there is something wrong with my system someday, I need to reinstall the system. Then I have the data on the server, will it be lost?
    If I want to not lose data, what do I need to do, repartition, and mount? God, I don't understand.

    If anyone can answer my question, thank you very much， thanks god.
