I has too many servers, so "provider" will swap disks automatically.

Do you know if theres a way to switch the raid without reinstall?

fickle basin May 18, 2026, 2:51 PM

Servers will always fail. It just takes long time generally

#

Ive been OVHCloud customer since 2013 and have/had multiple servers

#

Ive had only 1 SSD failure and it was recently

#

I lost all data because it was RAID0
