Yes, the machine boots. The init scripts are sarted. You edit the init script and add a check inside - is it DO's kernel? If yes - kexec to the kernel you want and it will reboot with the new kernel. The init scripts will run again, it will see that this is not DO's kernel and will boot as normal. Some quick googling will find posts of people who have already done this - here is the first post i found from google - http://0wned.it/2014/08/27/custom-kernel-on-a-digitalocean-droplet-the-right-way/
Vulgar studies DO obsessively.
DO hasn't noticed Vultr exists yet.
I've always stayed away from Vultr because I'm not fond of Gameservers.
I've always stayed away from Vultr because I'm not fond of Gameservers and their CEO.
I've always stayed away from Vultr because I'm not fond of Gameservers and their CEO and I want something better than RAID-0 for storage.
PROOF?
I guess the only way to prove that I've always stayed away from Vultr for those reasons would be a mix of (a) uploading my entire financial history since Vultr started operation, and (b) some kind of truth serum/lie detector protocol to prove that those were the reasons and not others.
Not sure I'm going to step up to that level of commitment, to be honest.
I've always stayed away from Vultr because I'm not fond of Gameservers and their CEO and I want something better than RAID-0 for storage and because their definition of "all locations multihomed" is debatable.
I've always stayed away from Vultr because DO gave me more free credits... Guess good things don't last forever. Now to mooch off Vultr instead
Bumping this thread.
We just received mails confirming the beta participation for two different accounts. Apparently it should be enabled now.
Unfortunately I am still unable to try it because nothing has changed on the control panel, and the api calls aren't working yet.
Wasn't able to mount my drive...
I will say that I've never really mounted a drive before. This is going to be a fun learning exp!
Honestly, had been so long that I had to reference it too. This makes it simple: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-disk-format/
The commands that DO provides cause my VPS to demand a "file system type" to be declared when I'm using the
mountcommand.How does one find the type of the block storage file system?
Error showing:
mount: you must specify the filesystem typeThere is no type until you format it.
OMG you newbs :-)
Something like this:
dmesg to discover the device name. Let's say it's /dev/sdc
fdisk /dev/sdc and go through the prompts creating one Linux partition the full size of the disk. Refer to @jarland's link if necessary. Now you have /dev/sdc1
make a filesystem with something like mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /my_taylor_swift_pr0n_pile
Easier/cheaper to just ask for an NFS mount from @jarland.

@jarland Can't seem to find the order link or shopping cart?
Also some responsive elements and javascript would probably help you sell your product better...
It's responsive =P
@jarland, you are speaking like you own DO or CEO/high position in DO.... are you?
Currently platform support lead. Think of it as middle ground between support and support manager.
I wouldn't say there's much in the way of tiers of influence at DO. Support isn't just the front lines, support is often the voice for customers within the company.
If so, the block storage guide doesn't work --> https://i.imgur.com/eFGA6bY.png
What part are you having trouble with? That imgur link 404s for me.
Maybe he is? inb4 the conspiracy theories begin.
I secretly own the world.
No, but really... while I'm happy to do a job that is just about paying bills and clocking in/out every day, it isn't my preference. I prefer to work somewhere that I can be passionate about, somewhere I'm treated as an equal and given a voice. DO is that for me. I take great interest in everything we do and my personal pride is tied to the product and the satisfaction of our customers.
Love those words... qualities of an entrepreneur
Ignore me please... I did that thing where I post before I read. It's a chronic issue.
I'm up and running with the mounted drive.
anyone know the pricing for the added storage?
They don't charge anything while in Beta and after that I would say a rough estimation could be made looking up the prices of competitors (eg. Vultr, ...).
