I'm adding more disk, but you have to bring down the server for adding new disks.
Also backup was not running :( (cron job was commented out). So I got to add disk to backup server first and initiate rsync again (just to be extra safe, as their shutdown process is not familiar).

backup.poddery.com took about an hour to shutdown. Added 150GB disk and it is starting up. It will take another hour to come back.

backup.poddery.com was live at night and enabled cron job for backing up uploaded files (cron job was running when I went to sleep).
All uploaded files are now backed up on backup.poddery.com. An hourly cron job will keep the uploads in sync. Now poddery.com is shut down so we can add 100GB disk to it.

Additional 100GB disk is attached to poddery.com now. It will take about an hour for the server to come back online.

Server is not starting, it just throws "starting server (Unable to allocate)". Opened a ticket, waiting for their response.

The ticket is still not resolved, seems they allocated all their servers.

Its 7.44 am in Paris, may be it will be looked at in their office hours.

Frustrating support from scaleway.com. After 4 hours of shutting down, I still can’t boot the machine.

@tvm @anisha how does http://www.kimsufi.com/en/vps-ssd.xml compare to scaleway? This level of support is frustrating and if we have to go through this again, I'd rather choose a better provider.
