@taizi said: can I ask,how you collect VPS disk usage(IOPS), will it count fuse mount as native disk too?
It only counts data directly related to the LVM/local. I see around 10MB/s average write, but at average size of 4KB. It's not that fancy, as in it uses reliable pre-existing open source software that grabs it directly from /proc but based on the information I've pieced together from what you've said so far then obviously when it's getting copied over to the local disk then it would count for the writes.
I've been stressed over the "80 IOPS" limit for a long time because I have no idea how to measure it.
Here you said "average size of 4KB".
Does this mean I can safely read/write large files at 240KB/s speed?
I have Seafile installed for syncing photos from my phones, with daily rclone backup to elsewhere.
So far I didn't set any speed limits, and it hasn't triggered abuse script.
However, I'm happy to limit it further to be on the safe side.

@Unicom okay I got the server back up so very quickly, let's test out the three issues you've had and see if it's been broken. I'm performing all these as a client, as in the same way you could do it.
Clicked login to cPanel, it logged in. Looks like your disk space is at 100.07% utilization. It also does show this properly on WHMCS, but says the file usage amount out of "Unlimited" so I guess we have to look into that, assuming you know the max for your plan though the total usage number is correct.
Of course the login wouldn't have worked all the time last 3 days, I'll look and see if you mentioned anything else over the last 3 months here.
Second issue, SSL. Looks like an error last time it ran December 3rd, one of the domains doesn't resolve properly. Another one doesn't. One of them maybe didn't run. This is where I have to go into WHM for the last one, I'm reading the logs, it's because you're out of disk space I think. Not enough space for the temporary file to validate.
Okay so yeah, I think I was correct to close it in this case but let me know.
In stasis until the shitposting stops/abates.
Than=compare;then=sequence:brought=bring;bought=buy:staffs=pile of sticks:informations/infos=no plural. It wisnae me! A big boy done it and ran away. || NVMe2G for life! until death (the end is nigh).
@VirMach said: You want me to do that here? We already went over this, if you really want I'll share all the notes and details here.
where can we discuss this if you blocked me from using the ticket system?
Otherwise just wait for the ticket to be processed.
Considering how you handle tickets, I could wait forever. I closed the previous ticket after 2 months of ignoring it. You say that you are getting data from other sources (and this is obviously true) however, the ticket with the message that ssl is not working was ignored, and the problem was not solved. Unfortunately, it is impossible to solve the problem through cpanel. I tried several times to log into cpanel to make backups, but the panel didn't work. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to create another ticket or write here on the forum and check cpanel's work every day. Until 3 days ago everything died and I found that I was denied access to tickets. So I had to write here about these problems because there is nowhere else.
@VirMach said: I see it has the same 10MB/s average write.
after some tries, I found it was caused by my binance bot, it will get the latest price and write into a JSON file, but after i shut it down,the 10MB/s write disappeared...
but I run my bot since a month ago, and it is normal, and no abuse warning. after a period of time I use rclone, it started warning me(like one week later)
@VirMach said: You mentioned rclone, what cache mode? What swap configuration?
no cache,no swap.I combine rclone+juicefs to mount,juicefs helps me splitting files to 4MB each block,also provided disk cache option,it will use LRU to clear unuseful cache when the disk is full(<5GB)
in my juicefs status, it shows avg 25ops/sec and avg 18transcations/sec.
@Civalo said: @VirMach My previous tick was merged with #218112, which is awaiting the billing dept, but you have already dealt with the billing issue yourself. Can you look at #218112 and get someone on it? I've been waiting since September.
Thanks
John
Dedicated server issue would've been resolved yesterday if you had a ticket that mentioned a dedicated server in the title or description. I think previous issue was that it didn't and it got overlooked, and I remember looking over this and fixing that (hopefully, or thought I did.)
If you opened another ticket and it got merged, that sounds like another potential obstacle.
I have not had time to address any of these for the past week, I delegated them to our other team member. I'll try to create some time today to finally close these out, sorry for it taking so long.
@VirMach I know you are kept busy. But, can I get an update on this? It was supposed to be a simple install of Alma Linux, instead of Centos. It's all been put on ticket 218112, but seems like nothing is being done at this point. Been waiting since September.
Thanks for you time.
John
Hey John,
If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, CentOS can actually be converted to Alma! Make sure you're running CentOS 8 and just follow these steps:
May I ask a question? sir, my friend ordered this plan at Tokyo before, seems should have 3GB RAM, but when recently created at LA, only have 2GB RAM? thank you.
I remember your name as well, my guess is you'd be the type of person to have your password as Dog123456
Just a vague guess. And the 6TB probably can get used up as quickly as like half a day on outbound attack/botnet. Especially if you got it early on a bandwidth reset, your VM is most likely hacked.
I don't understand what password do you mean?? after reinstalling I never changed my SSH or VNC passwords, and VNC on all my 3VPS was OFF. there was no chance for me to enter the vps, only December 1st was seen online in the members area, then checked the next day it had changed to suspended, no email notification warning of bandwidth usage approaching 100% or other notifications. I only know that the VPS has been suspended again after opening the member area.

Has your VPS been hacked due to your weak password? For example, how about checking the strength of your password on such a site? https://password.kaspersky.com/

it's a non-public vps/passive vps/IP nota acces public, cannot ping, not for production and not used continuously, the same as my other 2VPS only used when I need to, and I said I can't check anything because I can't access anything, how can I check it, I can't even access it . even though if they think my vps has a problem, all they have to do is reset or reinstall it, or give them a schedule for what time and when they will give me access (for example, given 1 hour on the day... date..., I will reinstall the vps).

I have experienced when moving from Germany to LA. the difference is not just the specs, but the bandwidth is also written as 1GB in the member area. after you send the ticket you have to be patient or make a priority ticket and spend $ to make it faster.

Um...did you forget your VPS password...? If you remember, you can test your password with a password checker using your computer or phone on a web browser.
Many people including me suspect that your VPS has been hacked by your weak password. Even if VirMach reset your VPS, it will be hacked again if you change your root password to a weak one.
So first you should explain that your password is not weak.
Also, VPS is an unmanaged service. Especially at the low end, it is difficult for a provider to provide a perfect response for all users. You usually have to open one ticket and wait your turn behind a long line of people.
Of cource, you can open a priority ticket. Usually there is a charge for it, but they do not charge if it is not a user-side issue.
My thoughts: what you can do.
Close all tickets.
Open only one priority ticket with a clear title.
Explain that you are not using a weak password.
Agree that all data will be erased.
Wait for a provider to respond.

okay I'll think about it longer to make a new ticket and close my 1 old ticket 11-14-2022 no response until now, but I think I'll let this VPS go away because the active period is coming soon and there is no desire to extend it, and will only use another 2VPS which is still running a bit normally until now. thanks for the suggestion, making a new ticket according to my experience since they moved to Ryzen takes a very long time to respond... apart from being patient, I also have to be sincere.

Ok only going to say this one last time. Should disable the password and use keys. This is getting a bit stupid.

Yes, you are definitely right. However, I suspected he was always using a weak password so asked such a (stupid) question...
I am not angry at anyone but that cyber security 101 stuff. I don't have any clue why people use the password anymore. Some providers allow keys right in the panel and disable pass auth right off anymore. All of them should do it and if you enable it you are on your own. Stops this kind of thing in its tracks.

Might be just the Sasquatch to do it. I try to give people a chance but Iif they refuse to listen, or just don't give a shit I tend to be very direct and their face about things. I understand being upset about something but if you refuse to try to fix it that is a different story entirely.
Are the passwords you are using for the other two VPS strong passwords?
I have explained, all of my VPS are only used when there is a need (not for non-stop production after Virmcah moved to Ryzen because successive problems often occur on their part). so what is meant by the VPS password is not the right one to ask, because my access only uses SSH with the password generated when reinstalling the OS on solusvm.
Today I was curious and opened the member area, after I closed my old ticket, it turns out that now there is a bandwidth increase menu, there is an option to pay $ 3 for 250MB, $ 5 for 500MB and so on. I tried to make a payment and finally I was able to enter the solusVM menu and then I reinstalled the OS.
I will see in the future, I will leave this VPS and I will not do anything with this VPS. will it be suspended again? worth monitoring

You've stated that more than once but tou haven't explained anything. Do you turn them off except for the few moments when you're using them? If not, what external services ARE running on them all the time - production, test, whatever?
I paid for VPS about 2 days ago and I see the billing is in Paid status. But my order is still in pending status. Also, I opened a ticket but no response!
