Hi,
Aside from the known issues with newer Ubuntu kernels not working on
the Xen hypervisor from Debian Lenny (which is what BitFolk uses),
there also appears to be a lack of compatibility between newer
releases of Ubuntu and older kernels:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/447747
This will leave you in the position of not being able to boot with
the supplied kernel and not being able to revert to a kernel from
Hardy or Lenny.
There may be a workaround, I'm not sure yet, but at the moment I
wouldn't recommend trying to do this unless you know you can make it
work (or know you can fix it from the rescue env.).
Cheers,
Andy

Hello,
I've added a section on backup details to https://panel.bitfolk.com/
If you've got backups set up then log in with your
panel/console/nagios credentials to see it.
You should see:
- a summary of how much space you have set aside and how much is being used
- the schedule you're on
- the paths being backed up
- the list of snapshots and their disk space usage
- the list of NFS mount points you will need to access the backups
At the moment the responsibility is mine to be alerted if you start
using more than you're paying for and to contact you in that case.
So I haven't seen the need to set up any alerting scheme to warn
you. If anyone desperately wants that, please let me know.
Cheers,
Andy
