@host_c - upon trying your services so far I am happy. Thank you.
Since you seem to take a seat left available by Marius of HostSolutions, I can't stop but wonder if your services are also DMCA ignore. This was a great selling point for HostSolutions back in the days. As many know around here, Romania is a great country for torrenting due to its geographical position, network quality, and corrupted politics. So the question is: will you ignore DMCA complaints?
Another important question: will you accept (or did you already accept) traffic mirroring to Romanian Intelligence Service? They will knock on your door for traffic mirroring as your business evolves (if they did not do so already). This is important on one hand for freedom of speech of customers, but on the other hand if you accept it they will not "bother" you with "legalities". I wish to know your point of view, at least now, even if I can understand changing views later

First post in this thread (and they have always been very clear about this):
I wish to underline to everyone that we are no DMCA ignore, that term is pretty widely interpreted as PORN, Shady Stuff over the internet and other, some might got this idea as I am from Romania and some of my fella providers endorsed this type of activity in the past or still do, I will gladly disappoint some in this statement. Whatever you publish must follow this rule, whatever you store, that is not our business.

First post in this thread (and they have always been very clear about this):
Yeah, I did not read properly. My fault. I kept dreaming about that story of HostSolutions reminding me of their failure with storage and Chia criptocurrency impact. I read it, but my brain was in dreams and memories. Thanks for the notice
If you get tired of renewing it, HMU :P. I'm a dum dum who held off because I was just a few months into my prepaid year of 9TB from a different Romanian compatriot and hoped his service would mature and settle if I waited patiently.* Anyway, by the time I realized it wasn't going to happen, the 5TB & 10TB plans were no longer available. 4TB is unfortunately too small, and 20TB and non-promo VPS are beyond my budget.
It sounds like @host_c is doing things well and also engaging with the community, so I'm also interested in seeing his service continue developing.
*It did not, and he also accidentally deleted my complete VPS container, making it the third or fourth time my entire VPS was completed lost in less than 8 months for reasons entirely outside of my control. Other ridiculous things happened too - there's a thread about it on OGF.

Honestly, when I got it I did not realize how good of a deal it was, but the longer I have it, the more likely I am to keep it now :P If a 4TB was cheaper I might swap down to that, maaaaaybe even a 3TB, but 5TB is a nice sweet spot for my situation (backing up 2TB of data but with versioning). I already do a primary backup to Backblaze for it which of course costs more per TB (though also scales based on actual usage instead of pre-allocating a certain amount), but I prefer having a backup location that I have root access to as well, so the VPS-style + storage drive is a great solution.
Also, random aside, does anyone know if the boot drives are in a raid configuration at all, or have any other form of redundancy?

I doubt I took over whatever Marius left, other than RO HOST = SHIT
Junior Marius did not help either in this image.
None of them realized that this is not to their advantage.
SRI ( Romanian Intelligence Service ) ( RO version of FBI ) will approach you if you host shit ( as any gov agency will approach any provider in any country if thatis the case ) , hence the statement in the start of the discussion, it is not our mission to provide such services.
Users cough in malicious activities that were banned from our network are welcome to share their experience here.
Assumption that we wish to fill a shit hole is wrong, I leave that to others that do not realize doing that will only put yourself, your buisness and ultimately your customers to the ground.
Free speech is not a synonym for Ignore all and malicious activities are welcomed.

DMCA is treated different in the EU, bu it is present,
You need a pretty big amount of complains to get in trouble, that might change in RO, as GOV ran out of cash, so for 2025 this might seem to them a good source of income.
Atho I wish to see how a small provider that has assets under a fe $$$K usd can pay Millions in Copyright cases .
Thanks for the answer @host_c - I simply wanted to know your stance on these things. It is not that I am an abuser or something, don't get me wrong. I was simply curious about your stance as a provider.
Meanwhile I highly recommend @host_c so far due to performance of services, openness in replies and transparency using pictures.

Mine don't work but, it might be because I don't have any?
Once you try a host-c storage deal, you know. No drama, BS, even runs windows fine, and no one mining shitcoin or running a train on the hypervisor... to the point of people stalking the ASN waiting for new deals.
I feel bad taking one of the three but couldn't resist another machine... At least I have another storage machine + UptimeKuma instance (original purpose)
Thanks @host_c for a very uneventful hosting experience - my favorite kind.

Same here... it's unlikely that any future 4TB deal might be cheaper than the 5TB special (~USD61/yr, with extra 2GB add-on).
So I'll have to live with 1TB of /dev/sdb remaining unpartitioned and of no use (boo-hoo-hoo).
Xfs is a more modern film system, for todays work loads
In the teste we did, and we tested all, it was a clear winner
Especially handling large files, resiliency on hard reset, paralel read and write performance, IO handling, and low impact on cpu and ram.
Since I am already in bed I will just quote this
Best Use Cases:
1. Large File Storage: XFS excels in environments where large files are common, such as video editing and large database applications.
2. High-performance Applications: It is optimized for high-performance computing and I/O-intensive tasks, making it suitable for enterprise applications.
3. Scalability: XFS can handle massive amounts of data and is designed to scale efficiently, which is beneficial for large storage systems.
4. File Systems with High Throughput: If your application requires high throughput and low latency, XFS is a strong candidate.
5. Multi-threaded Environments: XFS handles concurrent access well, making it ideal for multi-threaded applications and workloads.
Advantages:
Excellent performance with large files and high I/O operations.
Dynamic allocation of inodes, which allows for more efficient space management.
Supports online resizing, enabling administrators to expand the file system without downtime.

@SocksAreComfortable said: Oh I meant to ask -- why xfs over ext4? My filesystem knowledge is not great, tbh.
Mostly parallel I/O over ext4 so large files, etc. will transfer faster. In some situations ext4 can serve smaller files faster. In most cases with large files and nowadays xfs has the upperhand. Also should something go wrong, xfs has a degree of built-in online self-healing, where as with ext4 in the same situation, you'll need a boot CD or fsck.
EDIT: Just realized @host_c already gave a much better complete answer than I did, whoops.

I already got it reformatted! Even updated my /etc/fstab (which helped me learn that changing filesystem would change the UUID...guessing it's whenever it reformats).
There's no one-size-fit-all solution when it comes to filesystems -- different user have different needs, different FSes have different pros/cons; one should always give some thought, rather than going for the purported "best" or "most popular". (FYI: vanilla BTRFS also works great for /sdb )
