This question remains. I [benchmarked](https://meta.discourse.org/t/scaleway-review/40916/44) ScaleWays new intensive workload server, and seems like a viable option for Discourse hosting.

But again, theiy deliver the SSD storage as 50+150GB, so how to make use of the additional 150GB volume? By default Discourse-setup will install to the 50GB system volume.

This should be a trivial issue, but I’d need some practical guidance on best the approach? Installing Discourse to the additional volume would be the most straight forward way, even though it leaves some of the 50GB system volume unutilized.

@mpalmer?
