    3 ssd disk array, what raid level can I use?

    How much space do you need? If not more than the size of a single SSD, i would do a RAID1 with two SSDs and then use the third to locally store backups. Of course make remote backups too.

    LET Down?

    No, there is probably some automation - if they see several quick connections from one IP it is blocked. And i tried with fresh IPs, that have never before accessed LET. It was blocked from Bulgaria (tried several IPs from 3 different providers), from Germany, from Netherlands (LES), from UK...

    LET Down?

    There is still some idiocy with cloudflare and IP blocking going on. Try this: for i in `seq 1 20` ; do wget -O/dev/null http://www.lowendtalk.com ;  done Or simply open 5-6 new tabs with LET threads in your browser. From many locations this results in the IP not being able to access LET any...

    Hard Drive Failure

    Seek_Error_Rate & Raw_Read_Error_Rate are perfercty fine for a Seagate drive, they are always some large numbers. They shouldn't be interpreted as large numbers, probably smartctl just doesn't know how to display them in a meaningful way. Just see on some other Seagate, even a new one - these...

    Hard Drive Failure

    I'd take the drive out and test it in another computer. The errors might not be from the drive, but due to motherboard or cable or power problem. I've had bad luck in the past with bad HDD power cables. Especially with cables that convert from molex power connector to SATA power connector - the...

    Hard Drive Failure

    37 degrees temperature sounds worrying, but other than that i don't see any sign of failure in the output you provided. Run a long smart selftest on the drive? Will take a lopt of time to complete though - smartctl -t long /dev/whatever By the way why do you say it has failed? How did you come...

    Yourserver OpenVZ 256MB (Sweden)

    So how do you monitor the network uptime? Is it for multiple locations, or from a single one, or what? Sometimes random things on the internet break / routes flap between two random hosts, which is not always the fault of the provider of connectivity of one of those hosts.

    Kindle vs actual books?

    I absolutely love my kindle, it is much more convenient to use than an ordinary paper book. I have an older model (with keyboard and without a touch screen), don't know how the newer models feel.

    LET Down?

    While you are redoing it, try adding some cache-control or expires headers, because yesterday when vpsboard was down i didn't realize it was back up until i forced a refresh in the browser.

    Why are you testing on production?

    Usually you can test only so much in your dev environment. While it could catch the most obvious problems, there are many things that break only in a real world usage environment.

    Pros and cons of pro-rated billing?

    I think it would be confusing for many customers and would result in a lot of tickets.
