As usual immediately after hitting send I noticed a relevant link. It appears that the size of the virtual disk may be changed and perhaps only changed through the gandi.net interface to which we do not have access currently (to which I understand Brad is trying to find a solution.)
Brad: Is it possible you or someone else with access can increase the disk size for our system? 60GB will probably satisfy the requirements for Jenkins (assuming our previous calculations are accurate); but really we can use all we can get if the goal is to move many of our existing services to this system. We could immediately make use of 250GB and if we are planning for the future more like 500GB-1TB is more realistic.
That said, it is still an open question as to what will be moved to this server and what we will have to find resources for elsewhere. Whatever you can provide we will happily use.
Thanks,
Ken

I'm a little bit confused about the available disk space on this system:
root@box3-squeak:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 3.0G 607M 2.3G 22% / tmpfs 504M 0 504M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 80K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 504M 4.0K 504M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 24K 12K 12K 50% /var/gandi
It appears to be only 3GB and I think Chris requested something like 60GB or greater. Is this perhaps a logical volume that I can expand? I'm still looking but I'm having trouble finding any gandi.net help documentation.

Thanks, I am able to login with my key to both the admin and root accounts.

P.S. box3-squeak is fine, the primary hostname is really not relevant to us as more than a reference for the handful of us who directly access the box. All other access is via CNAMEs anyway and so the actual hostname is rarely noticed by anyone.

Chris,
I've created the server for you. Here's it's IPv4 address.
IP address: 173.246.101.237
Gandi oddly always asks for a username to be the administrator, and won't take "root" as the name of account. I made it "admin" which is their default, so I presume Ken will need to ssh in with: ssh 173.246.101.237 -l admin but should also try: ssh 173.246.101.237 -l root
(just in case)
Note that I saw Ken's ssh key had more /'s in it than I would have expect, so I was a bit worried it had come from cut-and-paste. Attached is the ssh key I used, so you can verify I used the right one if you have trouble logging in.
Note that I called it "box3-squeak", mainly so that when it shows up in the main Gandi menu, I can see clearly that it's squeak. I presume you can change the host name.
Meanwhile, I've gotten no response from my contacts in Gandi about the user management problem. If you need reboots or console, for the moment, you'll have to email me. I'll keep in touch with Gandi (and other VPS hosters) to find out if there's a way to solve this problem when you have a consolidated account for billing but lots of discrete groups of people managing the VPS's. It seems no one has thought about that problem yet, oddly!
Thanks Bradley!
I'll be adding news of the SFC and Gandi's assistance in today's Squeak Oversight Board minutes. And then The Weekly Squeak blog on Sunday.
It's great to be moving forward with this.
Cheers, Chris
