SO HELPFUL.  Thanks. I'm going to try wlanboy's suggestion for random things now.  Seems so simple lol.

I don't have IPv6 right now.  Maybe if I put in a ticket they'll give me a /64.

You're definitely right, but I don't have much experience with KVM so I'm not comfortable offering that. It's OK though, I can go either way on this really.  Will probably end up just splitting it among my own friends.

Would anyone be interested in splitting my dedicated from the recent grabbag?  Not attempting to make a profit at all. Wholesale Internet Q9300 4GB Ram 500GB HDD 1Gbps unmetered Debian Wheezy Host 2.6.32-042stab076.8 OpenVZ Web Panel (start, stop, reinstall, basic console) I scheduled a...

Unlimited traffic on basically a 1Gbps port is just too good, but it's literally sitting here doing nothing haha.

That's super neat imo.  This is what we do...and it's just a tiny section of like four switches.

Here's my list sorted by availability... 99.97% RamNode ATL 99.94% SecureDragon FL 99.91% BuyVM NY, EDIS SW, SpotVPS CHI 99.49% QPS ATL My EDIS box sorta blows though...

I've sent in a few tickets that I explicitly stated "ultra low priority" and they still got back to me quickly on a weekend.  Pretty good stuff for $30/month.

FIOS is so awesome!  They seem to love giving your more than you're paying for too.  My 75/35 plan gets 90/40 or so for $60.

I abuse the hell out of my 2GB plan and it works for the most part.  Good stuff for $30.  Maybe in a couple months it'll be $20 when it's time to renew.

Can you remove /usr/share/doc without causing huge problems?  Also...is there a way to clean up /usr/share/locale? I've got a EDIS 1GB KVM starving for diskspace.

He's got a cheap rented dedicated server, don't think he's going to go through all of that especially with the unaffordable VMware licenses.  The free ESXi has a 32GB physical limit on the box.

You can't really count OpenVZ as virtualization so if you put that in a hypervisor...you'll just end up with the performance of that VM.  If you nest something like HyperV in ESX, then you're really going to take a performance hit.

It's desktop grade hardware so I wouldn't recommend it.  The CPU itself is great though, 8 cores at 4GHz non hyperthreaded.  It's also basically a blackhole for power at 125W. I sold a Q9650 I had sitting in my drawer for like two years and bought the AMD+mobo for an extra $20.

I'm going to send this tower of random junk I had laying around out for colo in a week or so.  Thinking probably Joe's or Datashack. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xapqdys7ljgd6p6/2013-05-08%2004.39.14.jpg?v=0swn- AMD FX-8350 2x146GB 15K Seagates 6x1TB Randoms 2x2TB WD RE4 1x64GB WD SSD Dell...

Can you clone the 500GB onto one of the 1TB?  Then just rsync vzdumps nightly going forward.  You can probably end being able to just change boot order if the 500GB fails and get back up in a few minutes.

Lol yeah, most of things are still out of hobby range.  But the 4Gbps stuff is super cheap right now.  We're upgrading to EMC VNX at the office, was thinking of pulling one of the old FC enclosures, but not really sure how loud it is.

I do the following and it works fine for me: - download precreated from openvz website - load it up in a test box (or production...really doesn't matter) - customize container - vzdump --compress 6969 - move from /vz/dump to /vz/template/cache - vzctl create 6969 --ostemplate...

You can very easily create shared storage using cheap older generation enterprise hardware from eBay.  Most people just don't know how to get around the 1Gbps ethernet bottleneck.  Simplest way would be to buy some 4Gbps FC HBA cards for $20 and ptp.  Plenty of interesting reading you can do on...
