    You won't have any trouble with that. As this is a trial the server load is being monitored constantly.

    @jcaleb said: What would be your target prices after testing period?

    From what we can determine at this point it will be the prices that are on the site now. Fingers crossed we can keep them at that. But even if the prices do go up everyone that is a part of this trial will get them at the price that is on there now. This is, if they wish to keep the VPS.

  • I'm getting a very low I/O speed with dd, but considering that there must be many others doing the same at present, I may try it later :P

    @AstroProfundis What did you get?

    @trewq said: What did you get?

    I got this

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=4k oflag=dsync

    4096+0 records in
    4096+0 records out
    268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 230.819 s, 1.2 MB/s

    Yeah... No where near right haha. I was expecting you to post something with like 20MB/s but nope. Everyone must have been running one at the same time.

  • Where are they located, in Australia?

    @Ishaq said: Where are they located, in Australia?

    Dallas, Texas. Plans have been started for Australian nodes.

  • @trewq said: I was expecting you to post something with like 20MB/s

    Huh? What disk setup is this running?

  • Alright. And if you decide to open up in Australia, do you have an estimate of how much each of those plans are going to cost?

    @GetKVM_Ash said: Huh? What disk setup is this running?

    When he said low that's what I was expecting. It's running 2x1TB drives in RAID0.

    @Ishaq Most likely not in the LEB requirements. Australian bandwidth and power costs so much more than the US.

    All of the 256MB ones are now gone! Only 10 of the 128MB left!

    Thanks everyone!

    @Zen said: uh oh

    Please remember this is just a trial node, we will be upgrading/getting rid of it once the trial is over.

  • I would expect results far higher than that with RAID1 or RAID0, especially RAID0. You should be in the 100MB/s range easily. I would get those disks checked if i were you, something isn't right there.

  • I am installing ubuntu on the VPS now, setting up LEMP now. Point a domain name there [ 3i6.net ]. Little bit sad did not find Debian there.

    I think it will take another 10 minutes then all set.

  • trewqtrewq Administrator, Patron Provider

    @GetKVM_Ash It was running about 150MB/s in our tests, no idea what has happened I will look into it.

    @smile93 Putting Debian on now.

    Network, CPU all good.

    IO was terrible for the time being.

    I will test it again tomorrow once everyone has done with the installation.

    Exactly the same here. I'm setting up hosting panel now, anyway.

    The clock on the solusvm server seems to have an incorrect time zone. I just got a "Control Panel Login Notification" with:

    It was fine in our previous tests. Something must have gone wrong with one of the disks. I'll get it checked out ASAP.

    @tech163 said: he clock on the solusvm server seems to have an incorrect time zone.

    Fixed. Solus and the node now run off GMT.

  • Just wanted to try and benchmark one, but too bad.

  • IO is Okay for me

    By the looks of it after you posted that a few people started doing tests at the same time. It really shouldn't effect it that much though.

  • Now its okay again =)

  • VPS doing well, installed tree.io on it =)

  • Free aussie bandwidth?

    Nom.

  • no vps left?

  • ISMISM Member
