[RapidSpeeds]

Have any of you noticed on a single thread a RPS has a better connection speed than a Kimsufi/OVH Dedicated Server?

I am on Virgin Media, 50Mbps and the RPS speed is about 400kbps more, even though latency/pings seem to be the same for both said servers.

I have not done a traceroute, and I can't be arsed pasting results from wget/ping results - I am simply asking if anyone has experienced the same problems as me?

I just run litespeed (webserver) and a mailserver.

What are you running on your RPS, the use of some applications need to consider the following:

I must say, I'm very happy with RPS on the whole. It's just that you sometimes get occasions where a few servers have these problems communicating with the drive and it's ages before it gets fixed.

Can't complain at a tenner a month, but I wouldn't want to pay for the setup now and find that one doesn't work - at least before you could order a new one, migrate everything across and ditch the faulty one. I think that's why there was such a high turnover of servers before.

Ditch RPS. It's never going to be perfect.

I had the similar issues during the early days of RPS.

Yeah, I've been doing that - but I've found the reinstall option to be a temporary fix, the fault happens again after a day or so.

BELLonline; the support won't ever tell you that its their fault. Your best bet is to reinstall the entire machine, just like i had to do. I was able to get my website back up sooner than the support answered my question/ticket, which they still havent.

ok, I tried to open a ticket but when I submitted it, the page hung for about 15 mins and now when I try to open a ticket it gives a 500 error. Hopefully someone from OVH will see this.

Hi,

I've got a few servers that keep changing to a read only file system. I think there's something wrong with the iSCSI disc - rescue mode doesn't seem to show any errors.

Servers constantly go into a readonly filesystem, reboots fail for a few hours (only booting into rescue mode), eventually works if lucky. Reinstalling doesn't seem to help, it only acts as a temporary fix.

This is not just me http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3974

Is there any estimate as to how long it will take for this to be fixed? It's been going on for a couple of weeks now.

[BELLonline]

I've just opened another ticket about this (I had opened one last week). If we all keep contacting them about the problem then it might get fixed.

[inet]

out of intrest have you opened a ticket? or did you just post in the forum?

[mmgRay]

I wont be extending the service here as the support here is inexistant

[mmgRay]

meh

[jameslewis]

Mine isn't working well either, download speeds of 3.43KB/s Nice...

Hey guys,

I've seem to run into some trouble with my RPS, once again. This time it seems iscsid is failing, heres the log from messages.

Apr 13 19:23:12 r24036 iscsid: Kernel reported iSCSI connection 1:0 error (1011) state (3)
Apr 13 19:24:09 r24036 iscsid: connection1:0 is operational after recovery (2 attempts)
Apr 13 19:27:35 r24036 kernel: connection1:0: ping timeout of 5 secs expired, recv timeout 5, last rx$
Apr 13 19:27:35 r24036 kernel: connection1:0: detected conn error (1011)

What can I do to fix this as my server wont boot in normal HD mode so SSH doesn't work. Only on rescue.
