    Let me help you out here. I have a few VMs that I am not going to use from other providers in the EU that ether have hard limits on I/O or do not have hard limits but let people run wild. Let me see which one will let me transfer one to you. I'll give it to you for free for almost a year. It's Christmas after all. They are all much bigger than your 768MB VPS, lets see if that works for you.

    Thank you for your help. I want to say thank you to you. I have many VPS, 50-60 , and I also have 15 on @ VirMach. I just find it unbelievable

  • From the kind of answers he gives, I've come to a conclusion, but no one cares so I keep it to myself.

  • BTW I've run out of flan.

    I had a several suspensions a few years ago on a @Virmach VPS I still have. I was perplexed and stated so in a ticket. @Virmach gave me advice how to potentially fix/avoid suspension. I've not had trouble since. My experience was that @Virmach worked with me rather than giving me the ax immediately. At the time, the VPS was running a spigot (minecraft) server for a handful of users. One user was apparently going crazy flying over massive amounts of unexplored terrain. I put a limiter on the server to deal with it.

    I think its really harsh to say @Virmach is bullying. Frankly, I think you're being rude. It's hard to want to help rude people. I'm surprised at @FrankZ 's offer... also impressed. Take a deep breath, calm down. It feels like the flood of stacatto messages and answers really do not have meat (detailed facts). I doubt that will help the situation.

    That suggests you are using a low-end provider in some type of production (that is to say "serious use") environment. This may not be a good idea.

    In other news ....

    I finally had my VirMach only regional failover system fail completely after 1456 days [3.98 years] of continuous website uptime.
    Was it VirMach's fault ?
    Not this time. it was my fault for not updating a certificate chain.
    I had 15 minutes of downtime while I corrected it.
    So I'm now down to 99.9992846% uptime with VirMach on this production website.

    Yes, write an image from another server DD in rescue mode (make sure that image has your own password written to it)

    Just like:

    wget -O- “http://11.11.11.11/10disk.raw.xz” | xzcat | dd of=/dev/vda

    Since the rescue mode version is quite old, you may also need to update some software like wget or xz or something like that.

    Good luck!

    Well I given up at this point and just installed CentOS 6 and call it a day, the Debian 10 image is still showing out of memory and kernel panic :( Tried to Geekbench but to no avail as it requires newer glibc, so ya that's that for now :joy:

    @VirMach can you bring back the $0.95/yr package that I forgot to pay 6 years ago? :joy: I would have never expected 128MB RAM to be that painful nowadays, most installer crashed even Debian 8/9 ISO

    Blame me for not describing it well.

    Yes, you will get kernel panic after the installation is done, at that point you need to POWER OFF the VPS and reboot it and you will be able to log in via VNC using the root password.

    Have the honor of being the crybaby who pays $20 for a 128MB VPS at VirMach in 2023.

    Yes, virmarch was smart and suspended my server 6 months after PayPal payment. According to him, the abnormality appeared in August, but my server was suspended around December.

    Yes, according to him, he should have suspended me earlier, but he was very considerate and waited until the PayPal payment exceeded 6 months before suspending it

    In addition, I don't know why a 2-core 3G memory VPS can cause the entire node to crash. If virmarch's technology is so good that it can allow people to use a low-configuration VPS to cause the entire node to crash, it is really worth learning for other merchants

    So, I doubt the authenticity of what he said. Is it true?

    He still didn’t answer my most important question. My VPS returned to normal for a short time, and I didn’t receive any notification

    Nope the kernel panic happened after the reboot, it seems like 128MB just didn't cut it for some reason. Tried twice using different image (one with cloud-init and one without) but to no avail :/

    As a user of @ VirMach for 3 years, I purchased 15 VPS with annual billing. Recently, I received a notice stating that a VPS has been suspended and accused of abuse IO@VirMach Please tell me that lifting the suspension requires a payment of $40. This is the first time I have encountered a problem in three years, and that's how he solved it. This is so interesting, it made me see @ VirMach clearly. No wonder so many people are boycotting @ VirMach. I finally understand

    Hi guys,

    If your server has some abnormal servers that are running continuously, you need to deal with it as soon as possible after payment. If you are late by 3 hours, your server will be suspended again and the fee will be refunded.

    Also please note that there is no email reminder when the server is restored to normal. Please refresh the page 24 hours after payment until the server is restored.

    The above is my experience

    That's right, the kernel panic does happen after the first reboot, the key is that after the kernel panic happens, the normal reboot doesn't work, You need to go to “Full VPS Control Panel” and click “Power Off” instead of other buttons, then reboot again. At this point you should see the login screen.

    PS: Make sure you use a cloud image, virmach's default debian 10 image won't run on a VPS with only 128M RAM.

    I took this approach to install debian 10.13 on my mystery box.

    If you take the proper steps, you can do it too.

    Surely your monitoring saw it return to service. A relatively minor thing which most will never notice as they will never get suspended.

    It is a cloud image, I might just try Debian 9 instead and I did poweroff before reboot...

  • @FAT32 said:

    I'll describe them in order:

    1. enter rescue mode and install the cloud image with DD
    2. exit rescue mode and the system should automatically reboot and go into a kernel panic state
    3. Use the POWER OFF button in the Full VPS Control Panel
    4. BOOT
      5.login (you need to use VNC)

    debian 9 cloud image also works perfectly.

    I installed the Windows system through the backend. Where can I monitor whether my VPS has returned to normal? Please tell me the URL

    In fact, I visited the virmach website within 2 hours after payment. I don’t know how I can know that my VPS has returned to normal in the first time except this method. At least virmach official does not provide it (if there is no email reminder)

    Are you here to be funny? I bought 768mb of memory and paid for it too. Why do you say I only paid 70% of the money?

    Just for the sake of clarity, using 70% swap space isn’t using the memory you paid for; it’s using disk space as memory (thus causing high IOPS) to overcome the fact that 768MB RAM isn’t sufficient.

    Tokyo migrations happening likely before February 4th. Emails will go out soon with some more information.

    Same contract/partners (xTom/Cat Networks.) What happened was we're currently in BBTower building, and traffic provided through them. BBTower changed connectivity from inbound IIJ to NTT, which negatively affected some customers, mostly in China (a few people mentioned it here.) Server will physically be moved to another building, NTT East Komagome. Even though the building's name is NTT, what will actually happen after this change is that we'll receive network more directly from xTom, which have their own blend, which will restore inbound IIJ. (Just making a note of that, since some people might see "NTT" and incorrectly assume this means it's changing to NTT.) From my understanding, they have NTT East Komagome connected to the other facility they operate out of which is Equinix TY8.

    IP addresses stay the same and your service stays on the same node. What will change later in another maintenance afterward (not this one) is that we're finally activating/connecting other servers we sent out here. That may involve some other changes, likely migrations to minimize IP changes, but potentially also some IP changes if necessary.
