Bwhahahhaha
Its HDD - If out of Bengaluru Flash sales. Ryzen 5900 + 500GB HDD
Happens all the time.
For a moment I was like that would be the banger deal of 2024 if it happened
yes, my bad. i misread it 😭
Its a good deal. But I wonder why they dont allow us to map that Storage drive to all our VMs with DigiRDP.
What do you mean?
Yeah or combine multiple together.
Easy to manage, ip is saved and returned back. Win for all
THANKS-FAT32
Maybe some automation is there

Basically lets say if you have 5 VM's at DigiRDP and one of the comes with additional 1TB storage drive, they should allow it to be mounted to all 5 of them if requested as it comes with no additional cost. So that 1TB Storage drive is shared between all 5 VMs.
in case anyone's missed @DigiRDP's own giveaway - https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4234018/#Comment_4234018
Is that real?
Would have been cool if they would have instead continued Flash sales.
GAs are always boring to me.
If it's a block device, you can't just share it like that. You'd need to mount it on one and share it to the others some other way, e.g. using NFS

If you mean that the drive is mounted on all at the same time, that wouldn't work well because of locking issues (what happens if two VMs write at the same place of the disk at the same time? That actually isn't that unlikely with filesystem metadata.) Of course it would be possible if only one would write and the others were read-only, but that isn't really necessary as you can do that simply over the network with the same result.
Edit: and I think they use some standard system they most likely can't easily modify.
Well unfortunately on Ticket they said its not possible. I have asked for the reason as I dont really see it as additional cost to them.
That's what I am trying to confirm with them. If they are able to mount it, then that will save me lot of B/W.
Development costs would be there and most likely not that small as it would have to be tested, adjusted when something else changes, etc.
Could be on different hardware nodes, my VM's have different CPU's.
Oh well, if anyone wants to offer any VPS for my $5/year DigiRDP or 500GB $9/year VPS (invoice, not bought yet ) or both together for one, DM me 😉
No sad.
Just cope
What are you looking for?
You could maybe ask whether a vLAN would be possible, I think that's more likely to be possible, or if internal traffic is even counted.
Oops. Completely misread op.
But this too.
Yea... They dont even allow to split it between VMs like 200GB each. But cant complain for $3-$9/yr deal.
Honestly my $5 1 TB VPS is maybe the best deal I got during BF/CM/Christmas if performance stays the same and the uptime is good.
