|
|
I am looking for 10 to 15 brave souls, er, existing Linode 64 customers who are currently at ThePlanet that would be willing to migrate their Linodes to Host4. At the same time, you will be upgraded to the Linode 96 plan for free -- you will continue to pay the Linode 64 prices.
Host4 had been running under 2.4.21 kernel for quite some time, and as you all know, experienced deadlocks or silent deaths, whereby no kernel oops would be printed, etc. This made debugging the problem difficult. I've upgrade the machine to much more recent kernel and have been hammering away on it (running a few "contest" threads to generate load) and so far so good.
Here are the conditions:
Migrate you to host4, upgrade you to Linode 96 (no changes are required on your end, keep same IPs, filesystems, etc)
You get a Linode 96 at the L64 price.
If everything goes well (say 60 days no problems), then you can stay on host4 and enjoy your discounted Linode 96
Be aware, that this means you accept the possibility of downtime due to reboots
If there are problems with host4 freezing again, your old slots will remain reserved for you to move back onto
If there are problems, you can back out at any time
If we do have to move you back, you'll be back on the Linode 64 plan, but you can keep your extra disk space for free.
update: XFER will remain at 25 GB
What do you guys think? If you're interested, post a reply here and I'll contact you guys in a few days.
Thanks,
-Chris |

I think this is a wonderful idea. I know I would be happy to migrate my linode with the risks mentioned. As my linode is only a test system I am more then happy to cope any downtime needed.

| I'd be happy to volunteer. My linode does my backup MX and backup DNS, so I can deal with problems that arise. |

| Hey, I'm up for a try, too. Currently, I'm not putting a great demand on my linode -- mostly using it as a mail-server -- so possible downtime isn't much of a problem. This will change in a couple of months, however. |

Another volunteer here - I'm currently on Host1. I use my linode for testing/playing around - so down time is no big problem.

Sign me up for it too :)
I'll gladly help out testing, and as long as my ips/diskimages will keep intact some downtime won't be a problem.
