@rkrazy Sorry about that, accidentally had it set for February.
Why did you choose RAID6?
It's the best choice for a combination of space efficiency, redundancy, and fault tolerance given the drives we have to work with (WD3000BKFG's). We have a few (full) nodes running RAID10 configs, which is certainly faster, but just not quite as efficient as we'd like.
do you provide archlinux 32bit templates?
Not sure what each of these are running. I don't know what a good reading for this command is but I found it in another thread by searching "input test" here on LET. Anyway here are the results:
From my OVZ:
~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.13696 seconds, 150 MB/s
From my Xen:
~]#dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 5.13442 seconds, 209 MB/s
From my other Xen:
~]#dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 9.18111 seconds, 117 MB/s
Each VPS operates great though.
Doesn't the deal you posted on WHT be a little more attractive? (Unless my math is wrong. ie. the OVZ-128MB with the double ram+bandwidth but minus 10GB hdd :P)
Yes, we have an Arch 2010.05 32-bit template for OpenVZ, as well as Arch 2012.01 for Xen, though the latter is 64-bit only.
I suppose it depends on what your needs are. Choose whichever you'd like!
I just noticed that this discussion has been "sunk". A feature with Vanilla forums where you can "sink" a thread so that its replies do not bump it to the top. I noticed this when @darkconz replied and there were 8 other discussions, which had no new posts, above it. I waited for someone else to reply in it and confirmed this was the case when @vps6net posted again. To make sure, I bumped a thread below this one and sure enough it went to the top... Only staff can do this. Weird.
I think that's how threads in the offers section work. Try to bump another post from the offers section.
Oh. >_> Thank you.
@vps6net, is it possible to get the 32 bit template? I'm pretty much set to pull the trigger on an order but I want that arch fix
The only option to get it running on Xen would be to boot your own ISO on a HVM box, but we can certainly set that up.
I notice that, unlike your OpenVZ plans page, SolusVM calls the burst RAM “VSwap”. Does that mean it's actually swap, not burst RAM, and I don't have to feel bad about using it?
@MrDOS It is, in fact, VSwap, and that's something we've been meaning to update on the website. Utilize it to your heart's content!
Happy thing!
My VZ-256 was setup instantly, as advertised, and seems really snappy. If anyone would like any tests running, let me know.
