oh you got one of the epycs and they forgot to install an nvme disk, or how come there is downtime? all of the stuff i have from them is hotpluggable

that's actually a downside of m.2 - not seen hotswap yet
2018-08-31 00:06:41
Rotonen
i guess that's the selling point of u.2

I'm having 2 20A circuits and an exhaust fan installed.

it is from their server auction where you rent older hardware.

Intel Core i7-930, HDD 2x HDD SATA 750 GB, RAM6 x RAM 4096 MB DDR3 for 35€ month.

fydel
and a 240 GB SSD is what was missing. :slightly_smiling_face:
2018-08-31 00:34:00
Rotonen
for that money you could also get the 3770, but with spinny disks
2018-08-31 00:35:23
fydel
it is for the pool only right now.
2018-08-31 00:35:42
Rotonen
or apparently the E3-1246V3 with a slightly better ssd
2018-08-31 00:38:55
fydel
ah. the E3 must be new on the market. hadn't seen it there before.

i prefer to sort by the cpu benchmark with a price limit to catch that kinda stuff, but could be they're just dumping the two-old px series onto the auction now - i've not seen them there before either
2018-08-31 00:40:01
Rotonen
they even now have some of the gpu machines on the auction
2018-08-31 00:42:03
fydel
would have been nice a year ago.
2018-08-31 00:42:32
Rotonen
well, the price is essentially the same used as new, though
2018-08-31 00:42:46
fydel
but without setup fee.
2018-08-31 00:43:14
Rotonen
if you plan to run that for a year or two, that'll run to about 5% .. 10% extra on top, meh
2018-08-31 00:43:28
Rotonen
also they have a campaign about twice per year for 'fee off thing x' per thing
2018-08-31 00:45:08
fydel
yep. i rented a server days before they had this month without setup fee. lol.
2018-08-31 00:50:32
Rotonen
i only rent after having read their newsletter
2018-08-31 00:50:36
Rotonen
for about that reason
2018-08-31 00:50:49
Rotonen
also their marketing works as i'd not remember them otherwise :smile:

if i want to run snowblossom from ssd, all i have to do is to copy the snowblossom folder?
2018-08-31 12:25:54

"As discussed, we have installed one 240GB SSD at your server."
2018-08-31 12:26:32
fydel
i am moving the whole home dir to the ssd now. i think that's more straight forward.
2018-08-31 12:33:59
fydel
server back online. :smile:
