Hello,
This is slightly embarrassing but you will hopefully be pleased to
know that BitFolk is not actually affected by the security issue
that prompted the scheduling of the maintenance described below.
Therefore it won't be going ahead.
Apologies for the confusion. I misread the advisory. I can't give
any more details as to what I misread as it's currently under
embargo but when the full advisory is posted next Tuesday it will be
clear.
Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
I'm afraid there's another round of security updates needed as a
flaw has been discovered in some (Xen-specific) parts of the Linux
kernel.
It's not the hypervisor this time but it still needs a kernel
upgrade on our side so the effect is basically the same, so there
will be another reboot of all servers, likely in the early hours (UK
time) of 11–13 August.
Customers will soon receive an individual email confirming the
hour-long maintenance window specific to their server(s). The actual
work is expected to take 10–30 minutes within that window.
As before we should be able to do a suspend/restore if you have
enabled that at:
