Usually I get about 10 dud pings during a reboot... so 20 seconds ish.

Was using it in the first place, guess it hasn't worked for me

So it would appear now it has been up for 3 going on 4 days, so I think just keep an eye on it.
There was some before that, on the couple of last days of may.
And it hasn't been down for a long time because i haven't rebooted it, i could reboot to show you on how long it takes

SHH is indeed inaccessible and i get an email saying a defect on my server, (it doesn't respond to the pings) - i get another email (xx hours/mins) later on saying it's back up and replying to pings

I can see your are using the Neboot kernel so it should only take a few minutes to boot up, I suspect maybe the RPS went into check disk during a reboot.

Also how do you mean it was down, was it just SSH inaccessible?

In any case, for your situation you may find out some info in the logs in your server on why it takes so long to booting up. Do you boot your own kernel? because this is normally a cause of booting delays.
Logs on my server? How can i find them?
I haven't got my own kernel, i'm using the one provided by the os/ovh
I haven't known for it to take 3 hours to boot up, i find this very annoying

Honestly, my server takes forever to come back-up after a SOFTreboot, it started happening when i changed OS's to Fedora Core 9 based-system:
As soon as i installed the OS, the server went down at 2009-05-20 11:45:11
and came backup at 2009-05-20 12:30:30 after having a motherboard replacement
Server goes down again at 2009-05-22 11:59:12, comes back up on 2009-05-28 16:46:02.
It goes down again, when i did a softreboot at 2009-06-01 20:36:08 and comes back up at 2009-06-01 22:51:02
I replied to the ticket, but get no-response...
I HAVE never knew a server to take 1hour+ to come back up after a a simple softreboot
Server: r20255.ovh.net
Nic Handle: sr14437-ovh
