Sto cercando 10-15 anime coraggiose, ovvero clienti di Linode 64 che attualmente si trovano su ThePlanet e che sarebbero disposti a migrare i loro Linode su Host4. Allo stesso tempo, sarete [b]aggiornati al piano Linode 96 gratuitamente[/b] - continuerete a pagare i prezzi di Linode 64[/b].
Host4 è stato eseguito con il kernel 2.4.21 per un certo periodo di tempo e, come tutti sapete, ha subito deadlock o morti silenziose, per cui non veniva stampato alcun kernel oops, ecc. Questo ha reso difficile il debug del problema. Ho aggiornato la macchina a un kernel molto più recente e ho continuato a lavorarci (eseguendo alcuni thread "[url=http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/contest/]contest[/url]" per generare carico) e finora tutto bene.
Ecco le condizioni:
[list][*]Migrare l'utente su host4, aggiornare l'utente a Linode 96 (non sono necessarie modifiche da parte dell'utente, mantenere gli stessi IP, filesystem, ecc.)
[*]Ottenete un Linode 96 al prezzo di L64.
[*]Se tutto va bene (diciamo 60 giorni senza problemi), allora potete rimanere su host4 e godervi il vostro Linode 96 scontato.
[*]Siate consapevoli che questo significa che accettate la possibilità di tempi di inattività dovuti a riavvii.
[*]Se ci sono problemi con l'host4 che si blocca di nuovo, i vostri vecchi slot rimarranno riservati per voi per spostarvi di nuovo su di esso.
[*]Se ci sono problemi, potete ritirarvi in qualsiasi momento.
[*]Se dovessimo spostarvi di nuovo, tornerete al piano Linode 64, ma potrete tenere il vostro spazio su disco extra gratuitamente.
[Aggiornamento: XFER rimarrà a 25 GB.
[/list]Cosa ne pensate? Se siete interessati, rispondete qui e vi contatterò tra qualche giorno.
Grazie,
-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.
Chris
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.
Go ahead and sign me up, just put some directions up on exactly what we need to do.
I’ll volunteer….just let me know what to do
i’ll be glad to be a guinea pig, as briefly discussed by email.
Please sign me up as well. I only run a personal site on the lindoe account for email and some web development stuffs.
Thanks,
Kevin
I’d certainly be up for it 🙂
Thanks,
Nick.

[quote:c13f3f2642=”caker”]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 [b]upgraded to the Linode 96 plan for free[/b] — you will [b]continue to pay the Linode 64 prices[/b].

Sign me up!
If I’m not going to lose any files and IP will not change then sign me up.:-)

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

Thomas
I’m interested too 🙂
Slots still open? Please count me in as well. 😀

You can move my linode over. I’m generating sporadic loads, using the linode as a build server.
I’m willing to sign up as well 😉
If theres still room i will transfer too.
I’ve setup the migrations for the first group of people. If you don’t see the migration when you log into the LPM, it probably means we had enough people already. But if you didn’t make the cut I still might contact you if things go well and we need a few more people to load the server.
Please don’t reboot your Linode or resize your images until AFTER you migrate to host4.
After the migration your account will say “Brand New” — that will go away after you boot your existing profile for the first time.
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
I have just mirgated my account to host4. After the mirgation, is there any specific tasks that you are looking for to help testing out the server? ie: Should we increase our apache/mysql/cron load/processes in our account?
Regards,
Kevin
If you need another count me in.
If you need another guinea pig with a decent load, I’ll go.
Count me in, too, if it’s still available.
If you still are looking for volunteers, I’m willing.
This offer is closed, and the problem with Host4 was a kernel bug long gone 🙂 Now these guys are my Guinea Pigs for new kernels 🙂
Thanks,
-Chris
