We get what we pay for. 16GB of non-ECC ram is quite a bit of ram to not to expect single bit errors now and again. This could be exactly where the corruption is coming from. Dale

I am surprised you even consider paying for the replacement of broken hardware. I'd say way cancel the contract right now and move elsewhere. Such behavior is not acceptable imho and we shouldn't give them even more money as a bonus. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Aparently they made a mistake. It's not 39€, but rather 69€ if you ask
for a replacement.
I think we should order an EX4 (newer version, with bigger disks, more
ram and fast cpu) for 49€/month and pay the 149€ setup.
Next canellation date is 10/5/2012, so if possible, we should decide in
the next few days.

This server has a bad history with downtimes and I want to try to replace the hardware with a new model that has the same cost, without paying the setup fee, which is 149€. If they don't want to drop the fee, is it ok to pay the setup ? -- Ionuț signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi guys, This is a notification. I want to send this unit for testing memory, CPU, hard drives etc because some files had 1 bit flipped. It will be offline ~10 hours. Just let me know when you guys finish compiling or whatever you do on that box. -- Ionuț signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
