it will be a dedicated server in the uk.

it is a pretty cheap one, but all i want is the 100Mbit connection. it will be running debian sarge. i have the most experience with debian & debian-based distros so it shouldn't be too bad.

seedbox is working out great. basically all i run on it is rtorrent + bitchx. i'm thinking i might run a cs server for ttf sometime if y'all are interested. other than that can anyone else think of uses for a debian shell box, running 24/7 on a high powered network? perhaps rsyncing document backup.

what kind of deal did you get on your seedbox, nestor?

i'm debating getting a hosted solution, or setting up a box at home.

i have two boxes at my disposal:

(1) dell optiplex gx1
pentium iii, 500mhz
128mb ram
20gb hdd
cd/dvd-rom
ethernet
usb 1.1
sound

(2) dell dimension l550r
pentium iii, 500mhz
256mb ram
40gb hdd
cd-rom
ethernet
usb 1.1
sound
pci video card with dvi



i'd want to upgrade the hdd to something big. and i don't want to spend money on a PATA drive. so i'll have to buy a PCI SATA controller.
lucas's avatar

i guess i'd upgrade using the following:

rosewill rc-210 pci sata controller, $14.99
seagate ST3250410AS 250gb 7200rpm sata ii hdd, $59.99

total seedbox cost: $74.98

seems pretty reasonable.

100/100 line, 20gb drive, 512mb ram, p3 (vectoral dosky)
just running screen/rtorrent/bitchx hasn't really tested the system other than the hard drive, which is my main beef with the system. it isn't a problem if you're just downloading music, but if you have hd movies you hit the wall pretty quick.

specs are pretty crappy tbh, but it was the cheapest dedibox i could find. i didn't want to take a chance with a slice.

i'm actually going to be switching providers to 'ovh', where the base model has a 250gb drive. you can't order from them in n. america, you have to be in europe (uk and france for sure, not even sure about the rest of europe).

i'm changing dedicated server providers and i need some advice from the think tank.

now that i have a bank account / address in the uk i can get a ovh server (which is way better than my previous one). here are the stats.

old (partially copied from their site):

vectoral dosky - USD$30
PIII 733 MHZ
256MB DDR-RAM (I got 512, I think)
10GB 7.2K RPM IDE-HDD (I actually got a 20GB... probably because they can't even source 10GB ones anymore, haha)
500GB traffic (I actually got 1000GB)
100/100 line
Debian etch

new:

ovh kimsufi - £20 / USD$40
Celeron 220 (Conroe, single core) (1.2GHz clock, 512KB L2), OR Celeron D (2.0GHz clock, 256KB L2)
1GB RAM
250GB SATA2 <- this makes me so happy, every hd film i downloaded was stretching it
Unlimited traffic
100/100 line

My questions:

1. Celeron 220 or D? I think the 220 would beat the D hands down but I just want confirmation. Couldn't find it on TH charts.
2. What os? I ran debian etch on the vectoral but with the increase in potential I might want to run a gui/vnc.. for fun, torrents would be through rtorrent command line. Most of my experience has been debian-based but I'm open to a BSD as well, depending on the BSD status of rtorrent. Thoughts?

SATA support on FreeBSD seems to be lacking ... Although I've never really used it myself (I carefully avoid SATA drives for several reasons) I do see quite a few SATA related problems at questions@ and BSDForums/DaemonForums...

One thing you can try is messing around with some SATA-related BIOS options ... As I said before, I don't have any serious experience with SATA so I can't offer any specific advice, other than posting the question at BSDNexus.org, Daemonforums.org, and/or questions@

there are no sata options, in either the mobo bios (the computer is pretty old) or the controller bios (because i'm running the controller with one drive, so no raid).

i might post on some of the bsd forums, i suppose.

Right, so it's not an on-board controller but a PCI card ... *Looks at dmesg again* ... do'h

atapci1: <VIA 6421 SATA150 controller

According to ata(4) this card is supported:

The currently supported ATA/SATA controller chips are:
[...]
VIA: VT6410, VT6420, VT6421, VT82C586, VT82C586B, VT82C596,
VT82C596B, VT82C686, VT82C686A, VT82C686B, VT8231,
VT8233, VT8233A, VT8233C, VT8235, VT8237, VT8237A,
VT8251.



This is of course no guarantee it will actually work as it should, some time ago I had a ATA controller, according to the manpage it should work, but it was pretty buggy (Quite a few read/write errors) ...

apparently this guy has had success with the via 6421A:

Pros: Does everything its supposed to do under FreeBSD. Both IDE drives i have connected to it (400gb Seagate, and 60gb Western Digital) run in UDMA 100. FreeBSD has had no stability problems or otherwise using it and the drives run great.

Cons: Debian and NetBSD wouldn't detect the IDE drives I had connected to it at all. OpenBSD would only run the drives in PIO mode 4, which was too slow for me to use as a file server.

Other Thoughts: Has run great so far. I have a 400gb that I wanted to use with a computer that didn't support 48 bit LBA in its BIOS. This card has served that purpose perfectly. Have not used the RAID feature in it so can't comment. However, support with most OS's is below par. Luckily one of my top choices for a file server worked without problems.

so i'm not going to consider via chips or initio chips. that leaves me with silicon image chips in the low price range. these seem to be well supported.

here are my options:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It … 6815104219
koutech, 2 internal ports, raid 0/1, SiI3112, $13

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It … 6816132007
rosewill, 1 internal port, 1 external port, SiI3512, $20

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It … 6815124020
syba, 4 internal ports, raid 0/1/0+1, SiI3114, $20

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It … 6816132013
rosewill, 4 internal ports, 2 external ports, raid 0/1/5/0+1, SiI3114, $25

but, if nothing else, linux should work well:

my guess is that freebsd 7.0 will operate one drive on the card perfectly fine.

just upgraded my line speed. it was 8Mbps/256kbps. now it's 15Mbps/1Mbps.

the salesperson told me it was 15Mbps down and up, but it was obviously too good to be true.

so now i'm paying $40/month.

I'm upgrading soon to 8/1 Mbit/s, 40 euro/month

But I do get SSH access, IPv6, FreeBSD/OSX/Linux support, and lots of other neat stuff, also my ISP fights spammers and does its best to protect my rights.

You clicked submit twice? I assume?
I've had the problem several times where I click submit and it doesn't do anything...so I have to do it again.

something like this:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41721

that way i can just have my rtorrent window open and copy/paste the https waffles tracker download link to the rtorrent load command. instead of downloading it, and uploading it to the watch directory, cleaning out local copies, etc.

there's a whole 2.7gb available!

note: (226gb - 205gb) does not equal 2.7gb because freebsd reserves emergency disk space for root.

i'm thinking about either (a) buying one more disk and running raid 5, or (b) buying two more disks and running raid 0+1.

does anyone know how much better raid 0+1 is compared to raid 5?

if each drive's failure rate is p, then raid 0+1 with four disks has a probability of data loss of [pppp + 4(ppp(1-p)) + 2(pp(1-p)(1-p))]. suppose that p=0.05; then probability of data loss is 0.005.

if each drive's failure rate is p, then raid 5 with three disks has a probability of data loss of [ppp + (3 choose 2)(pp(1-p))]. suppose that p=0.05; then probability of data loss is 0.007.

assuming my math is correct, is a 0.2% reduction in the likeilhood of data loss worth $55? calculating parity is probably pretty slow with software raid, too.

hmm. that might be useful. if i end up using it for bandwidth intensive purposes (which i guess depends on how much the rest of the people on the server use it for bandwidth intensive purposes, haha) i will definitely pay you something for using it!

i haven't been using atlas for torrenting recently, but i think i'm about to!

if you're using utorrent you can bulk change the passkeys. i did that when what had their breach thing. i couldn't find a decent way to do it in rtorrent. well there was some rogue script to do it but i didn't want to try it then on euterpe.
