FreeBSD VPS

After nine months testing we are now offering FreeBSD VPS Hosting on the SAVVIS network.
Among the most difficulties was developing a way for in-Jail quota support (as far as I know we are the first to offer this on FreeBSD) without UID/GID conflicts with other jails. This was accomplished by creating a memory disk device (see man 8 mdconfig) for each jail and mounting them as partitions. See falconhosting.net

First Day of Classes
Well, here it is the first day of classes and the teacher didn’t show for the first one (snowed in I guess). So I’m getting some work done in the library using the old IBM 600E connected to the internet via Asus pocket wireless ap/adapter (in adapter mode now, I just wanted to see if it would work). …and yes I did get the shifter fixed.

Happy New Year!
The 6 month switchover completed on schedule. All data is off the Falcon so its ready to go down. Hosting is now completely California-free.

Take a look at Jon Clede’s new kidbritish.org for the new year! 4 days of Christmas left.
