Testing uncovered some quirks in the last week which are now fixed. I owe a great deal to the patience and persistence of the beta testers – thanks guys!
Occasionally incorrect permissions in /dev meant that SSHD couldn’t open a TTY and allow a user to login.
To make moving VPS faster between servers that aren’t already syncronised, I’ve developed a small utility called Diskdupe which copies a raw block device between servers by only copying blocks that have changed. The blocks are compared using an MD5 hash. Hopefully this can be made public/opensource soon as I couldn’t find anything else already out there that did this.
I’ve also been collecting data to build a FAQ based on questions asked by the beta testers. Coming soon: you will be able to format your VPS disk based on a range of templates with pre-installed software based on commonly used webserver components.
