Hi, There's a serious security bug in the Xen hypervisor currently under embargo until 29th October. The following of BitFolk's hosts are affected: bellini.bitfolk.com dunkel.bitfolk.com president.bitfolk.com snaps.bitfolk.com sol.bitfolk.com Some time before the 29th these hosts are going to require their hypervisors to be upgraded and that upgrade will require the host to be rebooted, so all VPSes on those hosts will also be shut down and booted again. I've not yet fixed exactly when this will be done. Most likely in the early hours of the morning UK time across three nights close to the end of the embargo. To complicate matters further, as you're probably aware we're at the moment in the middle of migrating customers to new hardware and upgrading them in the process: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Hardware_refresh,_2015-2016 http://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20150927.060438.69cadb3d.en.html One new host, snaps, has already been deployed and is now at full capacity, so I'm in the process of deploying the next one now. That means that the next one can be patched before customers are put on it, and so the next batch of upgrades will side-step the need for this other reboot. So, if: - You've already been contacted about migrating+upgrading your VPS but you have so far chosen not to respond, and - Your VPS is on one of the above listed hosts then you may wish to consider going back to that email and agreeing to the migration+upgrade as soon as possible, as otherwise you are most likely going to experience some down time for the security patch and ALSO some down time for your eventual forced migration+upgrade. I'll follow up as soon as I can with dates/times the patching and reboots will take place. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
