FATA[0009] cannot execute 'run': failed to create server: The sum of volumes sizes of VC1M instances must be between 51GB and 100GB

[ndarilek]

Getting this with the latest go get as of 5 minutes ago. My command:

scw run --name sandstorm2 --commercial-type=VC1M -v 99G Ubuntu_Xenial

I've tried with and without -v, and it isn't clear if the 51 and 100 are inclusive or not.

Thanks.

Hi @ndarilek, we are sorry for this annoying issue, this is something quite new,

---

When you start a new server, your image (Docker/Ubuntu/Whaterver) is on a 50GB volume, so when you run scw run --name sandstorm2 --commercial-type=VC1M -v 99G Ubuntu_Xenial, you are actually using the 50GB volume + a secondary empty one of 99GB, 50+99=149GB, outside of the limit :)

If you want to start a VC1M machine, I suggest you to use a volume size of 50GB which is the biggest volume you can get for the smallest price

scw run --name sandstorm2 --commercial-type=VC1M -v 50G Ubuntu_Xenial

I just created an issue: #361, so we can at least improve the documentation, and ideally mask this useless complexity

this error still occurs when -v is omitted:

$ scw create --commercial-type=VC1M ubuntu-precise
