    'vzctl destroy' could erase the wrong container ...yay

    Thank God we can still make containers with 512 GB RAM though. Even on an E3. What a relief.  :D ..  root@oversold-bullshit-simulator:~# free -m              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:        524288         61     524226          0          0         38...

    'vzctl destroy' could erase the wrong container ...yay

    I did read that, but last summer I asked them about it on Twitter. Was merely out of curiosity, but Kir said it wouldn't hurt anything. I suppose even project leads can get it wrong. :)

    OpenVZ to become "Virtuozzo Core" after PCS Merger Announcement

    I think there are a couple threads about this now. Someone mind merging the one from yesterday?  Just asked *VZ about that. We shall see. https://twitter.com/jetfirenetworks/status/548991584214065153 I dunno about you, but I can't wait to get that sexy up in my QA. ;)  I've heard there are a...

    'vzctl destroy' could erase the wrong container ...yay

    I'm in the middle of retiring a HWN right now, and I migrated about 20 containers from QA over to the replacement, one was a copy of a personal CT. All went fine until I went to remove a low numbered container and vzctl removed one with a larger number. Happened to be the copy of my CT that it...

    Ethernet Servers - https://www.ethernetservers.com/vps-hosting *Disclaimer: I do occasionally provide contract 3rd-level support for this provider, but I wouldn't recommend them if they weren't solid. Just being honest, since they were the first provider that came to mind when I saw your disk...

    OpenVZ to become "Virtuozzo Core" after PCS Merger Announcement

    It's also had a spotty reputation for several years. I still hear about how awful OpenVZ is, be it in an article, forum, what have you... 90% of those people haven't used a container since 2010 and still think they're nothing more than resource-hungry beasts with minimal...

    WHMCS -> SolusVM (weird bug)

    Flat-out refusing to budge?  Hmm... The only difference is the lack of a u/n prefix which I doubt is the catalyst.  Is it happening with the same package on multiple nodes, or is this a single node having problems?  Anything in the logs to give us a hint?  Any recent updates run?  As far as the...

    OpenVZ to become "Virtuozzo Core" after PCS Merger Announcement

    From Kir Kolyshkin's Blog: http://openvz.livejournal.com/49158.html Looking forward to 2015, we have very exciting news to share on the future on OpenVZ. But first, let's take a quick look into OpenVZ history. Linux Containers is an ancient technology, going back to last century. Indeed it...

    Secure Dragon: 4 Been a little over a year now. Freaking awesome containers. Other than kernel updates, not even a blip of downtime I can think of whatsoever. BuyVM: 1 I haven't had a container over there too terribly long but I felt they deserved more than an honorable mention. So far it's...

    How you backup OpenVZ node server?

    @KuJoe and @HalfEatenPie have it right...  You can set your --ionice and --bwlimit flags to reduce the I/O intensity as well...  'man vzdump'.

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    Oh that's right!  I haven't gotten into that at all, but that makes total sense. I should have picked up on that. So what happens if someone needs a specific template?  Do you build them up as they're requested?   Impressive for sure.  :-)

    BuyVM announces Europe, Anycast IP's, Floating IP's, & Bandwidth pooling!

    I always find it reassuring when I log into a container for the first time and can tell off the bat that a certain level of care has been taken on the node level. Kernel modules, boom.  Proper elimination of unnecessary UBC parameters? Check.  Adjustments to prevent accidental overcommit? ...

    Good VPS specs for remote desktop?

    Just a little curious which distro you ended up going with.  Have though about spinning up an X2Go next time around.  I've done just about all of them now, except Cinnamon. https://openvz.org/X_inside_VE <--- this is horribly outdated but I'm going to update it with some of vpsb's success...
