Try disabling filesystem barriers.

To do this you'll need to:

- Boot into rescue VM

- mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt # for example

- edit /mnt/etc/fstab to add "barrier=0" to the list of options for
  the root filesystem, so for example it would read like:

  /dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults,relatime,barrier=0

- umount /mnt

- sudo halt

- boot VPS

Cheers,
Andy
