At some point between 16:00Z and 17:00Z today I'm
going to upgrade
the rescue VM¹ image from Debian 9 (stretch, oldstable) to Debian 10
(buster, stable).
This will only take a few seconds, but as the rescue VM is an
NFS-mounted squashfs image, replacing the image will prevent all
currently running copies of the rescue VM from functioning.
This has now happened.
If you have an instance of the rescue VM running from before, it
will now be throwing I/O errors and be very unhappy. You should:
1) Go back to the Xen Shell menu (either by doing ctrl-a then c to
create a new window, or else using ctrl-] to exit the console)
and use the "destroy" command to kill it.
2) Exit completely out of the Xen Shell (repeatedly do ctrl-d, or
type "exit") and log back in to it again; you should see version
v1.48bitfolk56 when you log in.
3) Type "rescue" again to boot a new instance.
Cheers,
Andy
