    However, even with the newest version, it is showing nearly 900,000 hours...

  • rds100rds100 Member

    Does it still say "Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall]" ?

    @rds100: No, the newest version is aware of the right model type:

    Strange, really. According to those results, my SSDs have more than twice my age...

    Just found out my server has a gigabyte motherboard P43-ES3G

    image

    Also it seems everything is all sold out at WII, not sure if they will restock..

    ;-) But sincerely - How shall I interpret this? Is smartctl sometimes wrong with that information?

    And I was still thinking on getting one )=

    Desktop hardware... hmmm, overclock time :P

    @yomero I've always wondered about that...

  • Just got my $19 month atom server, they gave me a 500gb drive for free.

  • @Jack I don't know that I want to sell it

    Heheh.. tempting but considering the wait time for KVMoIP is two weeks I think I will leave it be, if anything I should have upgraded to the 1TB drive for the extra $5 as those perform much better cause of the 32MB cache compared to my 16MB cache.

    I just got my server...but it's a dual core 6700 instead of a quad, or maybe disabled in bios? Hope they swap it to a 9550 like everyone else!

    E6700 is a C2D, they must have made a mistake? I would put in a ticket..

    unless you mean Q6700?

    Yeah, I can't actually tell since ESX only tells me 6700 lol. But the L1/L2 cache figures does match up with E6700 and not Q6700.

    Edit: Got a Q9300. Not quite as lucky as the rest. WD 500GB @ 66 hours too.

    Well if esxi can only see two cores you probably got a C2D.
    If you enabled SSH you could try cat /proc/cpuinfo in putty.. otherwise just put in a ticket they are normally pretty quick to respond.

    Hmm do you get a confirmation email when you order? I ordered and now I'm afraid I entered the wrong email...

    Got a few emails right after placing the order. Then got another email with server information a few days later.

    ESX is pretty painful. Either this junk 500GB WD or no write cache. Need that KVM someday =x

  • bcrlsnbcrlsn Member

    Just got both of mine!
    I got an "upgrade" to a Pentium D from a p4. :P
    And one has a bad hard drive, not surprising.

  • earlearl Member

    @herbyscrub said: Either this junk 500GB WD

    I have the same drive and it only has 16mb cache compared to 32mb on the 1 TB drives that is offered on the upgrades.. not the greatest performing drive at least specs wise.

    I had some funny things happening on my C2Q as well, had to ask them to swap the RAM just in-case it was faulty..

    Proxmox FTW, the Proxmox installer is way better to do than the Debian Squeeze install which can confuse some people. Promox installer, which I did the other day, was Microsoft install easy

  • mojedamojeda Member

    TIL Debian 6 is hard to install.

  • earlearl Member

    @doughmanes said: the Proxmox installer is way better to do than the Debian Squeeze install which can confuse some people.

    Yup proxmox is quick and super easy to install, but I don't think Debian is hard to install at all, unless you are setting up software RAID on it which maybe a little more complicated than the standard install..

    Anybody having issues with their IP setting off the antivirus or mbam?

    The first set of IP's they gave me was all on a blacklist and it was setting off avast so they swapped me new IP's which was fine until earlier today now MBAM is blocking the new IP's?

    I checked on mxtoolbox does not seem the new IP's is on a blacklist, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same? I don't have a website on it just the fresh install of proxmox..

    @Jack said: The researcher at MBAM's is a bit of a ..... and blocks anything that he doesn't like usually :)

    I had to swap the IP's again, now it's working fine.. even if it is a false positive if ever I get a site going then anyone using MBAM would not be able to access the site..

    MBAM was actually blocking beyond my /29 IP range, hopefully this will be the last time I have to swap the IP's..

  • earlearl Member

    @Jack said: Open a thread on there forum. there is a FP section.

    Not gona bother.. WII already swapped me new IP's, with the amount of bad IP's I've been getting I'm thinking WII must have their fair share of bad clients!!

  • @Jack said: I know malwarebytes dropped all of Voxilty's ranges.

    Heh I know who contributed to that

  • Not too hard to realize Voxility's locations and providers who are in the location then compare AUP/TOS

  • @earl said: if ever I get a site going

    You would be brave to host anything significant on these ancient boxes imo!

  • earlearl Member

    @herbyscrub said: You would be brave to host anything significant on these ancient boxes imo!

    I don't think the C2Q is too bad and the hard drive is less than a year old.. but yeah would prefer server grade hardware then these desktop computers..
