[i-83.net] is this over-over-provisioned ?
I got extremely slow IO operations on my i-83 NAT vps at North Carolina. IO was fine at early this year, and become this.
root@nc:~# time touch newfile
real 0m5.998s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.001s
root@nc:~# time rm newfile
real 0m1.953s

Did any one have similar experience?

For that price I am really not surprise if its overprovision.
Yes
It was overprovision for sure, but I didn't expect it was that OVER provisioned. 5.9 seconds to create an empty file is way beyond my expectation.
This annually service ends at 14/04/2017. I had to decide should I continue this service.
If your $0.02/day isn't being fulfilled, you might as well move on.
@WSS this guy. Good job
if anyone wants to sell me a 128 or 256 box, im lookin to buy. send me ur offers plz
This is because of RAID rebuilding.
Check their network status page.

Unfortunately, these servers will take a very long time to rebuild, and you will have to take the inconvenience during that time.
nah they are so slow and shit. sell them to me before you regret it
SELL SELL SELL
Well, almost a month to take rebuild?
nah 12 months, crazy i know, i heard its best to just sell em now while you have the chance.
you should PM that guy looking to buy em, what a crazy person to want to purchase such crappy vps'
Speaking for just me, I'd rather have a server taken completely offline for a day or so to rebuild (with a bit of warning if possible), than to stay online but degraded for weeks or months, while also under heightened risk of an additional drive failure.
Yes. Really.
That also sounds like a recipe for another disk failing during a month-long rebuild. Seriously, take it offline for a day and let it rebuild.
nah nah, run the risk.
Doing it offline won't accelerate it a lot, it's just the HDD was too slow.
Thanks, good to know why it becomes so slow recently.
I ran the same tests as you did on both my servers with NAT i-83, and got significantly better results, so I think (alongside what others have said) the degraded performance you're experiencing is most likely due to the RAID rebuild, hopefully meaning that the performance improves soon.
Here are my results:
Naaldwijk, Netherlands
Falkenstein, Germany
For the price I'm paying, I'm pleased with the performance of the servers.
You'll only make slow disks even slower by having dozens or hundreds of containers trying to function on top of them. I don't think you understand how hard drives work.
That's the ram cache.
Oh, that'd make sense.
Doesn't matter now anyway as I've cancelled all my services with them due to their lack of communication. I should have made sure I was testing it to the actual disk when I ran those tests.
Did that even work? You have a credit balance with them now, or what? How will you use it?
I chose to cancel at the end of the billing cycle: so I've got 1 VPS sat idle for that time, and I presume the other sat offline until then. So no credit balance - just going at the end of the time - I felt that was better than immediate cancellation.
Oh I see. Mine are paid through this November. They are a pretty good deal if i83 ever gets its act together, but I'm pessimistic these days.
Has anyone heard anything (ticket response, forum post, tweet...) from i83/QH since April 14?
Perhaps they're trapped in a private network with no way OUT?!
Service gets terminated in a day without refund if you choose immediate cancellation.
Wow, you mean the unused part isn't even converted to credit? That's what happens with most hosts I know of. Getting actual refunds is a different story but they're usually ok with swapping one service for another.
WHMCS cancels the service without credit automaticly, if providers credit your account without hou sending in a ticket, they either monitor cancellations or have had an hook installed.
@quadhost already had a hook.
"Don't give a shit."
True dat.
