I'm sure by now we have all noticed the Liquid Web ads for solid state drives by now. These offerings would make for incredible database servers, among other things.My questions is:
How many of you are going to run out and get a solution like this, from liquidweb or anyone else? Why or why not?
Did anyone see that anywhere?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy site/e-mail/etc that is hosted by Solid Internet has been down for almost 2 weeks. This is causing me some major problems.
Their support forum doesn't work, their phones go straight to voicemail, their voicemail inbox is full, they don't respond to e-mails or support tickets. I'm not sure what else I can do to find out what the problem is?
I've only just renewed for a further year too so I'm not overly keen on flushing all that money down the toilet.
I don't think I have any site back ups, certainly no recent ones so I don't want to lose everything which I assume I'll need to do to move to a new host?
I have been a client of SolidInternet for exactly 7 years back since they were Myacen. I was able to deal with the fact that their customer service was less than desirable.
It was a little better as Myacen but SolidInternet seemed to adopt the philosophy that customer service was less needed.
I was never able to access their forums because it would not allow me to register. For months ever since they changed their site I have not been able to access my account page. So they started to automatic bill me. I did not make a big deal of it because for the most part my site was staying up.
NOW, there is a BIG problem. My site has been down since early Monday evening. TWO of their servers (server 4 and server 8) were down in red on their server status page when I checked up until Tuesday night. Since then, they have removed their support page (and server status page) and replaced it with a page that says "Back Soon." They have also removed their live chat which didn't work once you entered it anyway.
I have emailed them twice at sales@tw.com.au and msn@solidinternet.com since Tuesday night to request SOME kind of update as to what is going on. NO response.
Is anyone else aware of this problem? I am very close to switching hosts. 7 years ago I signed up with Hostpacket and they had only a few people running it until eventually the owner abandoned ship. I chose Myacen because they seemed to have a good track record at the time and good package. Now I get the feeling their level of support has been short staffed as well and it seems like now they just don't care.
Does anyone know anything about what is going on with SolidInternet or experiencing the same problem? Is there anyone from SolidInternet on this board able to give an update as to why two of their servers have been down almost 72 hours?
As far as new hosts I am looking into the following: hostgator, 1and1, ixwebhosting, dreamhost, hostmonster, godaddy. I'd love to go with pair.com but they don't offer enough and are expensive (except for the fact that they do provide great customer service and uptime from what I hear). I want someone with a long track record and good customer support if needed.
As a newly established Australian based web hosting company, we are looking to add a US based VPS, in order to offer US hosting options to our clients.
Put simply, price is no obstacle, while money is short (as it always is in a new business venture), if the service stacks up, then I can write a business case for it, no matter the cost. I've seen figures of $US60 floating around as a "decent" price for a VPS in the US, however, we are prepared to spend a lot more than that to get something rock solid.
Basically, we are looking for something with a decent amount of disk space and bandwidth, and need a host with lightning fast response times (and knowledgable staff). We also would like to get a provider that keeps the machine patched for us, although we wouldn't care if we had to pay more for this service.
As I said, price isn't an obstacle, so show me the best providers for performance and customer support in the US industry.
We're having trouble locating a decent provider for colo'ing a single box in the upper northeast. Only providers capable of the following need reply:
Location: Northeast; New York, New Jersey, Allentown, Baltimore, etc. (not San Diego, not Ogden, not Orlando...)
Space Needed: 2U-4U or 1/8th rack for one 2U server
Bandwidth: <1mbps (avg 56kpbs-384kbps/20-100Gb of transfer)
Providers: Dual path, with at least ONE TIER ONE in the pair.
Connections: 3 Ethernet: 2 for failover team, 1 for remote admin. (ILO)
IPs: 32 (29 usable), or more (can provide justification).
Backup generators, Liebert cooling, etc.
If you have a single Tier 2 or 3 provider... or if have a rack in your garage... or if you have an old D-Link switch in an open rack... or if you want $200-300 per month for a single 2U server to consume little more resources than the rack space... forget it.
If your company can meet those simple requirements and are willing to provide a detailed SLA committing to those requirements at a reasonable rate, please PM me. Sorry to sound snide but we're frustrated by "we're the best" only to find out that they have crappy connections and/or want $10 per amp for a power cord and/or $1 per IP address and/or and/or...
I have a couple of Dell 1950s and in one of them, I have 2x Seagate 15K.5s that I purchased through Dell and I also have a spare sitting in my rack in case one goes bad, also from Dell.
I was going to be repurposing one of my other 1950s and was going to get two more 15K.5s for it, but wasn't planning on getting them through Dell (rip off?). This way, could still keep the same spare drive around in case a drive went bad in that system as well.
When I was talking to my Dell rep recently when purchasing another system, their hardware tech said you can't use non-Dell drives with Dell drives in the same RAID array because of the different firmware between them.
Anyone know if it is true? Anyone have any experience with using drives from Dell in conjunction with the same model drives from a third party retailer?
Can you reccomend - based on your experience - some dedicated hosting provider with a solid freebsd experience ? By "solid" I mean they will be able to provide a decent freebsd installation (especially if a control panel is requested) on tested hardware, rather than setup their standard server, put on it a freebsd7 iso, do a very poor setup then discover something like the raid card does not work as expekted, scratch their head, embarass themselves proposing centos as an alternative, and similar ridiculous behaviour ...
[I am in the market for a middle range core duo with 4gigs ram. Budget around 180$, 210$ including DirectAdmin. 2000GB bw on a 100mbit port. NY, DC, VA datacenters highly favourite, but also a well-networked chicago one would do, I guess].

When i login to the root for the server and go to mysql process list i see a lot of processes that are connected to photo handling and the sate is Locked with over 500 seconds of each one.
I see there is one process that the state says: Copying to tmp table
I read online that if this is taking long it might lock up other queries causing your server to perform slow and only solution is to restart mysql servers.
Right now i have over 100 queries that say Locked and one that says Copying to tmp table....each time i have to restart the mysql services but this happens every 10 minutes as i have enough traffic to cause this problem.
I have Apache 2.4.6 x64 installation. With the lapse of time, more and more threads appear that are stuck in "L" state.
They are all gone after httpd restart, leaving 408 errors in access logs. What can be the reason?

i want to star a real state portal, but i have some questions on what kind of server i will need.
So my real state portal will have:

Up to 500 Videos (encoded in flv. 400kbps at full screen)
Visitors / moth: 100000
Assuming that every user that enter the site, views many houses, and videos and photos.
What kind of server or servers will i need to keep this website running?

this in my Incoming packets rules..
Outgoing packets are all accepted..
so if i made connection from the server the input rules shuld accept them because it is established and related connection.. But it wont work.. any ideas about it..?

2> When I type command '/usr/local/psa/bin/repair --restore-vhosts-permissions' i get the answer 'Directory permissions were successfully updated.'
3> The Order of Webuser and FTPUser (as described in the article) could also not be the problem, because in my case there is only one user (There is only Webuser and no FTP-User.)
4> When typing '/usr/local/psa/bin/repair --update-vhosts-structure' I get the following error 6 times each:
Code:

To get the error 6 times seems to mean, that i have this problem with 6 Domain.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI know there are a lot of experienced hardware guys on here, so I wanted some input on 1.5TB drives. Are they reliable enough to be used in non-mission critical storage servers? 99% of what we do is OEM (Dell) equipment, so I don't test raw hardware much these days.
I've read a lot of negative things about Seagate lately. Can anyone chime in with specific models they've had positive or negative experiences with from any vendor? Reading some reviews on the WD 1.5TB Caviar Black drives, there seems to be some weird issues with them going into a recovery cycle.
What is the best way to find out which filesystems and harddrive drivers you can remove? Obviously, i need ext2,3 but how do you find which HD you only need?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering whats the real live experience or difference on using Western Digital Caviar series (green, blue or black) on a DC environment vs the RE which are suppose to be for enterprise business.
On the WDC website the caviar series are targeted under desktop disks not servers. But allot of servers and providers use them. If you have servers your suppose to use the RE series, I exclude raptors as I only want to compare medium performance disks here.
I'm building a couple of VPS host servers for a client.
Each server have to host 20 VPS and each server will be 4 cores with 32GB of ram. So CPU and ram should be just fine, my interrogatioon now is hard drives. The company owns the machines, but not the drives yet.
I searched a lot on your forums but found nothing relating on VPS. I'm basicly a DBA IRL, so I have experience in hardrives when it comes to databases, but it's completely different for VPS.
According to my boss, each VPS will run a LAMP solution (having a separeted DB cluster is out of question for some reason).
First, raid1 is indeed a must. There is room for 2x 3.5 drives. I might be able to change the backplane for 4x2.5, but i'm not sure...
I've came to several solutions:
2x SATA 7.2k => comes to about 140$
2x SATA 10k (velociraptor) => comes to about 500$
2x SAS 10k with PCIe controller => comes to about 850$
2x SAS 15k with PCIe controller=> comes to about 1000$
They need at least 300GB storage.
But my problem is that the servers do not have SAS onboard so I need a controller and in my case the cheapest solution is best.
But I'm not sure that SATA 7.2k will hold the charge of 20 complete VPS.
Does it worth it to go with SAS anyway or SATA should be just fine? With SATA better use plain old sata 7.2k or 10k drives?
That's a lot of text for not much: What is best for VPS: SATA 7.2k, SATA 10k or SAS 10k?

I must not even understand the basics of how mounting works in Linux.
Physical drive /dev/sda1 is mounted at /
I created a software RAID array (using mdadm) out of two other drives using mdadm, at /dev/md0, and mount it at /vol:
mount /dev/md0 /vol
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.9G 2.2G 7.3G 23% /
/dev/md0 200G 470M 200G 1% /vol
Now I start creating files in /vol/*
Then I unmount /dev/md0
I still see the files at /vol/*. They seem to be on /dev/sda1.
So how do I use the RAID array at /dev/md0 that I tried to mount at /vol?
