...aaaand, host mercury now has a 2nd CPU and hardware watchdog.  it is finally ready for customers
it was getting lonely, with no customers on it
up_the_irons: :D
mv data-center/self $HOME
up_the_irons: better hope the roads are journaled
up_the_irons: sup
hey coobra
G: made it home w/o journaling
up_the_irons: whew! :)
srsly
so, joking aside, anyone tried Cloudkick recently?
trying to setup my VPS on a Dev Account as a 'physical server' but it seems to be unable to run any checks with the agent :S
haven't tried it
hmmmm definately something wrong, even the "agent_connected" test is status: unknown :S
up_the_irons: what is mercury?
odd.  my server didn't come back after "shutdown -r now"
it was stuck at the stage2 boot
hard powerdown worked
weird... same thing with another of my VPS
I'm not upgrading kernel at all
just some userland
yet the third one worked just fine
maybe there's some stale bits in the emu?
yeah, now it worked just fine
hmm
RandalSchwartz, same issue with 2 diff VPS?
that doesn't sound too good heh
key - nope
weird
I have one more to try, but not for a few days
raptelan: iirc it was one of the older hosts that got rebuilt
raptelan: with newer hardware
up_the_irons: you around?
raouldlv: hey i'm here
hey, long time customer?
i just ordered and read the FAQ, and wanted to add a core before i was charged
raouldlv: send an email asap!
kk
thought id catch him here quick
raouldlv: Ping up_the_irons on IRC to tell him to check his email
didnt you just do that? :D
lol
3 megabits down, sweet.
thank you ramada for not capping
raouldlv: Yep, just did it  :P
eeek, IPv6 blip?
up_the_irons: you do dedicated?
G: seemed to be, yep
raptelan: mercury is a vps host machine
raouldlv: if you sent an email about the cores, i got it
How much memory and disk space shoud I have before I should consider switching to ZFS?
up_the_irons: k thanks :)
:)
dxtr: On a VPS? I'd probably never use ZFS. There's no real gain to be had due to the disk abstraction and you need $crapton of memory for cache.
pilgrimd: Not on a VPS, no
dxtr: Well in that case, more than one spindle, 64-bit OS with at least half your RAM dedicated to ARC.
On my home fileserver, I have 6 GB with vfs.zfs.arc_max="5120M"
happy last day of the month
we should have some scheduled irc discussions
i could tweet the topic
up_the_irons: Like whether or not Stephen Fry is passable as a Klingon?
pilgrimd: yes
