  • Got email confirming order, giving a link to click on, but it goes back to the confirmation screen saying they're checking my payment manually, heh. I remember getting that from OVH in the past, and they confirmed after a few hours. I switched IP addresses in the middle of the order and that might have triggered something. I probably should have cleared cookies and started over, but saw here that the availability was coming and going, so didn't want to add another place to go wrong.

  • It's back

  • Any one got them delivered ? Plz post the bench stats.

    I try to order one and I keep getting a "You should give up retraction right" AFTER I agree to the terms and conditions. Guess I'll keep my $9 one that's lower spec'd but still came with 2TB.

    If you're getting the same thing, you can order one at a time from the standard old link: https://www.kimsufi.com/en/order/kimsufi.cgi?hard=162sk2

    I'll pass.

  • I have created an order, but hesitating to pay .. got a 3C, is it worth it to get a 2E considering the very slow CPU? Are people getting it in GRA or RBX?

  • WSSWSS Member

    If you have a 3C and don't need something for file storage, a 2E is kind of pointless. Atoms are slow. Very slow.

  • Yeah I'm having regret over this. 2TB of file storage would be nice except there's no raid. Two of them mirrored is no longer such a good deal. 5 of them as a storage cluster would be more interesting, but cost as much as a bigger server. And then there's the 100 mbit network that would take around 48h to fill or transfer the disk...

    So i got one, that is gonna replace my old atom (i was useing it as cloud file server for friends). I had some issue with ordering it ("You should give up retraction right") but I used en link for buying, thanks to this link I was able to grab one.

    So the old one is RBX5 and hes stats are:

  • You might want to remove the IP. Are the disks old?

  • djndjn Member

    Anyone know to direct migrate from my old 500meg ks2 ?
    I could make a dd image and restore it but is there a direct way?

  • djn, it's probably best to do file copies instead of an image copy.

    Has anyone gotten asked to send ID (passport scan etc) to OVH? I'm worried about that since I don't want to send one, and wonder if my temporary use of a VPN set something off. But if I tell them to cancel the order, my account will still be flagged if something better comes around later.

    Server Kimsufi KS - 4G Atom N2800 1x2000

    Can youy please recommend me widnows server 2012 image and which one will fit for my server?

    Thanks

  • WSSWSS Member

    @djn You don't want to do that. Just rsync what you want.

    @willie I've never had to send OVH my personal info- although they drag their feet forever on your first order. If you've purchased from them before, and you are using the same payment info, just wait patiently.

    I've purchased from OVH US/CA before, but not from EU. I had to make a new account. I do remember having to wait the first time I ordered from OVH US. I don't remember if it happened again after that.

  • 18331 hours isn't too bad.

  • got about the same, gra1, same disk, ~20k hours

  • Well, old one got 37015 hours (i had this ks for over an year) so this 2TB is almost like brand new for me ;]

  • Is there a way to cancel the order without raising more flags? Still don't know what to do with this thing. I guess I could back up my Hetzner dedi with it, through a 2 day file transfer. I want to do that because I want to upgrade the OS on the Hetzner and always worry about trashing the file system when I do that. Or I might even reinstall completely, though then that's relying on the KS disk to stay alive through the operation.

  • @Ponury_Typ How did you run that report? I've been looking for something exactly like that report.

    You can use my updated template:
    wget -O- ‘http://images.myhken.com/KS2012R21new.gz’ | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

    Still don't know what to do with this thing.

    KS2 with 2TB non-redundant disk is fine as a (+1?) push destination for borgbackup.

    It can do nice compression on your VM images etc and push the changed blocks only.

    With borg, the 'pusher' needs more CPU+IO spiking power, never the receiver.

    Most of my data is static so I can just scp it all. Well, 2TB of it, or 1.7TB or whatever it works out to.

    Origin is a 2x 3TB Hetzner server with two partitions on raid-1, 1.7TB and 950GB approx. If I back up the 1.7TB to the Kimsufi and the 950GB to elsewhere (I have a ZXhost plan or could use time4vps) then maybe I could un-raid the Hetzner server and have 5-6TB directly on it, which means having to back up the other drive (or a lot of it) as well. Hmm. Stuff ends up pretty scattered but maybe that's safer anyway.

    Anyone know if I have an OVH account now, after signing up for the Kimsufi? I mean can I buy European OVH products without enrolling yet another account?

  • OVH and Kimsufi accounts are separated so You will need another one for Kimsufi.

  • @willie said:

    Good idea. A 500G mdraid1 for VMs and about 4.6T in non-redundant volumes for backup data.

    They are separate AFAIK. I have kimsufi.ie

  • Thanks. I have Kimsufi now so I'll need another one for OVH. I'm thinking OVH Cloud Archive might be better for this long term backup stuff than the KS server, or at least if more space is needed.

    Have you paid for it? If you haven't paid for it just leave it, the order will expire.

    Personally I think the Worldstream.nl € 7.50 dedis are a better deal as they come with a better a cpu (AMD X2 240 or higher) and great support, as long as you don't need it for backups and don't mind paying the 6 months up front.
