I like it, but maybe the single disk isn't what you want.
Single disk doesn't bother me.
i did that ROMPAQ again... now its A13 05/02/2011; backup system ROM: 05/02/2011
Getting around 70MB/s - very nice for the price.
(connection speed)
Which I don't like.
If for some reason the new bios is buggy or sth, we can try to boot in the 2009 one... well.
Meh...
Ordered one to see what these guys are really like. Now to wait a few days...
well I got a stupid link saying that my order is being processed. interesting..
so far its good, don't see noticeable difference from previous bios...
hope it stays like this.. otherwise have to get old rum.paq
which model are you ordering?
@wahyan: he ordered the xeon 50 dollar special
Phenom special
Am I just lucky?

not bad.
Pretty good for just one drive..
I signed up for the trial OVH dedi, I was reluctant at first cause it's only for a month but was really curious about their control panel, I get 2x 1TB in Raid 1 @ around 150 MB/s.. wish I could change to Raid 0 but there does not seems to be the option in the manager.
Could always ask them if it's possible to change it, but their support isn't fantastic!
Yeah not going to bother with support.. I did try software raid 0 in Debian but my results were horrible.. under 40MB/s must have done something wrong
Support is hit or miss. I got a great guy the first time, I exchanged probably like 50 e-mails with him (he took care of every single problem I had), and then the new guy I have isn't responding, is being difficult to communicate with, isn't answering all my questions, etc.
If you have so many questions that you need to exchange 50 emails with the support, you are either doing something wrong or not using the right service for you.
Ok not actually 50 but 37. First couple was about raid and OS (Hey we have your hard drive added, what raid do you want?. I want Raid 1. Ok putting it in now, what OS do you want on it? etc.) , and then setting up iLO. Then, it turns out idling with iLO up "locking" it up and they had to fix that. Then switching out hard drives to newer ones (for better I/O), then they ended up switching me to a totally new box (with reinstalling iLO e-mails). Then thanking them for their help.
that was basically what all 37 e-mails were. I don't see that as unreasonable.
@HalfEatenPie
Actually I meant I was not going to bother asking support from OVH cause after all it's a free dedi, so I'm not going to bother them regarding the Raid 0. My dedi with Datashack is working fine no issues at all..
@earl: Oh my bad yeah... I hear ya
Damn, that ILO is working really shitty on my side. How do you even enter the RAID setup?
On reboot press F8 when it gives you the option to. It'll give you an F8 option to configure two different things if I recall, wait until after it says something about the RAID controller.
The ilo thing is a little crappy. Continuosly locks and works slowly. Yesterday I was playing with my bridges and get locked :P Then the ilo didn't worked :S
So, I used SSH to login and reset it...
Lucky. Mine locked up yesterday right after reconfiguring the RAID, then it took them about 5 hours to reset it. Not too bad I guess, considering I didn't call it an emergency and it certainly wasn't. Next week it may be
What do you mean by locked up? Do you have the admin rights? You should set it in the iLO2 settings when you boot up the system....
He means iLO. And you can't access iLO once it locks up. The techs told me its if you leave it idle for a while.
What exactly is the "locked up"? Type in password for too many times or the iLO is used by another user?
If iLO is used by another user, you can always use "acquire" to get it back right?
it stops responding.
Locked up.
You try to get into iLO screen and nothing shows up (just the "cannot be connected" page). Its not about another user using your account or your previous session being still regarded "active".
Oh, I have never seen that kind of situation, guess I am really lucky then.
