Would rather have 30GB RAM and 512MB Disk :]
Same problem, except mine isn't coming back online even after I change it to IDE
As already mentioned, I took down the node to resolve an issue... As mantioned in the welcome email, you can not rely on uptime, as this was the exact purpose of the testing - to help me resolve the issues and all the problems
No it wasn't that, it's been offline for several hours and I can't get it to boot, made a ticket about it.
EDIT:
Oh the node is down right now? thought it was for only a few minutes, sorry haha
Apperantely it would not be for only 2 minutes. The server has problems with the VT, apperantely it can not start with intel VT enabled, meaning no KVM vm can start. Both solusvm and the DC are checking it out now.
Looks like a hardware issue. The virtualizor no longer detects intel VT, no matter it is enabled.
Edit2: CPU is beeing replaced.
This is at LSN. The CPU should be replaced soon and will see if this is the problem.
Couldnt really get you, but new hardware tends to fail from time to time as well.
13 more have been added, so order while they are in stock.
Hardware has been replaced, OS as well. Email was sent to everyone regarding this.
@LiquidHost
I will update you on my testing after sunday, have been working.

Great, thank you!
Well, the plan for 512 RAM would be around 7$. Maybe a little bit less of HDD.

I couldn't get IOPING to install, can anyone link me to a tutorial?
Please make sure that virtio is enabled

Weird, gettign much better results at my test kvm:

But still, the server seems to be under load, around 10 people started installation the past 1 hour.
@LiquidHost
Yeah I can imagine, also for some reason your WHMCS logs my IP as 50.57.214.11 for tickets and order creation, but that's not my IP, it's a IP over at RackSpace?
Yeah, didn't have time to fix it, will get it resolved this days, just to get some of the latest shit out of my head :P

Note : I'm using Debian
^Thank you for the disk IO performance, however it does seem a little bit too slow. As I am getting around 160MB at the moment from centos minimal.
Also, 2 more KVM VPS are added and once they are out no more will be given out.
Maybe I have to try to change to CentOS. Will post the results after reinstall
Out of stock again and that was fast
If someone still not familiar with CentOS netinstall installation in a KVM, please refer to this tutorial :
http://www.lebstats.com/2012/07/22/tutorial-installing-centos-6-netinstall-in-a-kvm-vps.html
After installing to CentOS 6.3 netinstall 32bit , here is the IO :
Wondering why it's little slower when with Debian 6
@ErawanArifNugroho Maybe...virtio?
After enabling the virtio in Debian, I still get low result compared to CentOS
it should be more a ext3 / ext4 difference than a distribution difference.
centos 6 use ext4 while debian use ext3 by default. Try reinstalling debian and change the partitioning so to use ext4 instead of ext3...
Thank you sir
I will try it again tonight
is some VPS left for testing ??
A couple of days have left for the trial, so far the node is running stable, actually looks like that some of the VMs are in actual use (judging from the server load and usage of resources).
