No IPv6 for now, we already got our PI /48 but haven't deployed it.

This should be all. If you need more info ask, PM, or open a ticket.

  • tun/tap allowed?

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    yes, you have to open a ticket to have it enabled.

  • LAKidLAKid Member

    Provisioning is NOT automatic

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    It should, do you have some order not provisioned?

  • LAKidLAKid Member

    I've just got it, SSH takes so long that it gives me time out.
    finally got in, and I/O speed?

    I expected at least average speed, but this is lot worse than old "Hostrail"

    Can't even do yum update.

    could you please tell me which node are you in?

    Forget it, I just asked for refund.
    I ordered 5min ago, so you won't object it, right?

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    no problem at all.

    However this is the node status:

    Any ETA to this?

    btw. VZ0 is out of stock.

  • Annnd on the other hand, my experience with Prometeus has been great. :)

    Thanked by 1prometeus
  • @prometeus said: a total bandwidth capacity of 10Gb.

    LOL :p

    @Spirit said: Any ETA to this?

    hope next month. We have it in the TODO since months but was delayed for lack of time/resources

    btw. VZ0 is out of stock.

    I see, they were ordered all in a flash. Maybe the parallel setup and the massive DD caused the bad experience of LAKid that to be honest I wasn't able to reproduce.
    This plan was created for LET users (Damian was one of them), so if you need one please PM me and I'll add one for you.

    @kendid Thanks! It seems a bit low the dd result, it's usually better than this... Maybe there are some vps setup running and slowing things :)

    @kendid try to use ioping to have a more useful disk test. DD testing write speed for large files is not so important is real usage.

    As you can see Quickweb dd test gives really good results (137 MB/s) but that doesn't measure disk i/o latency or seek rate. Additionally some providers offer worse overall performance to return very high values for dd test. So my experience is that IperWeb box is performing much better.

    But if you want to exchange my annual QW vps for an annual VZ7 feel free to contact me. You will get a VPS with a fantastic DD test score and a higher price tag if you take this deal.

    The numbers show some bad results. Looking at the node stats I don't see nothing strange. I'll keep an eye on this node to see if there is some abuse...

    In any case I've no problem to refund you if you don't like our service ;)
    You can send a private message to me here or open a billing ticket.

    Thanks again

    Bye

    I know. Some users are using the disk very hard. I don't want to suspend without talking about the problem with the users, anyway if you like I can move your account to a different node while the problems are sorted out. Just open a ticket and we'll do :)

  • Is the Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz node better than my AMD node? :)

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    No, the node pm14 is a powerful quad socket 12 core opteron (48 cores in total) with 128G of ram but since it's more powerful there are more (ab)users on it and at time the I/O lag a bit (or more, but I hope to stabilize it however).

  • Then may be I'm gonna stay on the AMD node! haha..
    I can't complain to be honest, actually the performance is really good in general.
    But hope you resolve the issues soon.
    Thank you Sal ;)
