Hi,
One day in January between Saturday 10th and Sunday 18th inclusive I
intend to be taking down all BitFolk servers in turn to perform a
memory upgrade and some other work. It shouldn't take more than
about 30 minutes per server.
This will be followed by an increase of RAM allocated to each plan,
i.e. a free RAM upgrade. I do not know exactly how much yet. [1]
I will clarify the exact date as soon as possible.
Other work that will be taking place:
- Upgrade of hypervisor, since the version in use on kahlua seems to
have fixed a couple of annoying bugs that the others still have [2]
- Switch to high efficiency PSUs where possible
- Accurate power draw measurements for each server
-
islay.bitfolk.com will be replaced by newer hardware
Cheers,
Andy
[1] For all paying customers, unless for some reason we have agreed
otherwise. Will likely be in the region of 120 - 240M.
[2] Notably:
- the one where if you reboot sometimes, then the VM comes back
with no networking; and
- the very intermittent one where after transferring ~3.7GiB of
data, a VM will lose all networking and have to be rebooted.
