Loooioooooooool
So from this thread it looks like its much better value to just get a vps :P
Or you can get shared hosting and you don't even have to know Linux
The whole purpose of getting this dedi is to torture myself in a sense I guess
And in the process of torturing, hopefully I learn something along the way, just like when I got my first VPS from HostRail long time ago 
Well, then I moved to single drives
It's great if you need to do CPU or disk intensive stuff on the cheap without enraging any providers in the process.. though one may need to tweak the disks a bit to behave.
And 10TB on Gbit isn't bad either.
How did you do that? Tell them to physically remove your RAID card?
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 22.5186 s, 47.7 MB/s
RAID 1 with Proxmox installed, default settings...I am not sure if VMWare is actually doing something nasty...
What is your chunk size?
I don't know, I can't find the chunck size option in the array configuration for RAID 1, only in RAID 0
Anyways, here is another test after changing the options to 100/0 for READ/Write:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 17.0814 s, 62.9 MB/s
I am happy now I guess, Proxmox is the way to go!
No
F8 on the boot. Destroy the logical drive, and create two logical drives, one for each disk :P
Ha, I always got to the iLO control panel every time I hit F8 at boot, but I realized that I just had to wait until the RAID thing comes up at boot and hit F8.
I guess you chose RAID 0 for each one of those logical drives? Which does not really make sense, but I guess that means no RAID?
So.. what can I do with this server? :P I've been too busy the last week to do anything with it.
May I know if the server is on 1Gbit Port or 100 Mbps for the 10TB ?? Thanks
Cachefly is around 65MB/s so about 520 Mbps..
Yeah... a one drive raid 0.... o_O
But when you install Proxmox, did you just install it on one drive or you installed it on both?
had read s'where... for u guys to up the purrrformance..
Use readahead to populate the kernel disk cache (increase boot speed)
# apt-get install readahead# touch /.readahead_collect# rebootI asked for an upgrade to 1Gbps before they provisioned the server.
need additional fee or free?
o_O!?
Of course just one.
Then you can assign custom folders for... isos, vzdumps, images, backups, etc.
Ohh...didn't know you can do that. I will give it a shot when I am home
should be $50/mo - Bandwidth 100Mbit Unmetered $50.00
Just installed proxmox in vmware.. work's pretty good!! Tried this with virtualbox but could not get it to install..
From a Debian OVZ in Proxmox:
dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync && rm -fr iotest
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 12.5537 s, 85.5 MB/s
I don't recommend using DataShack at all anymore, I have lost all faith in them, Russ Roberts changed 2 hard drives at a time in one of our nodes RAID 10 Array's, Causing a RAID crash and for a kernel panic.
The only real techs are Bob and Adam, The fact that they also are providing minimalistic support and I have to open a ticket to get a reply to my existing ticket, This is not acceptable.
I had it good for to long.
Well, for the 45$ I am paying them, I got responses in less than2 hours for everything and after they could not get a good IO speed they offered me full refund 2 times.. I did not take it, though. Time to log in and configure it myself properly.
The only bad thing about Datashack that I can think of was the 4 day setup time, other than that they've been awesome.. I've only put in one support ticket regarding not being able to connect to iLO but it was answered/resolved in less than 10 min..
What I like most about them is that they don't nickel and dime you to death.. they pretty much give you everything for free, like dedicated KVM access!! who else does this for $40/month!!
This.
And I put another one because I did a mistake on my build :P
Talk for yourself, it took like 10-12 hours over here
@wahyan: Free. Just asked if it was possible for Gbit port with same or smaller alloc, and they said Sure.
