[bitfolk] Security reboots coming, likely 10/11/12 September

Hello, Unfortunately some serious security issues have been uncovered in Xen, which affect versions and configurations which we have deployed. These were pre-disclosed today, with full public disclosure coming on Tuesday 12 September as normal. So, we're going to have to patch everything and reboot before then. This will very likely be taking place over three nights starting in the early hours (BST) of Sunday 10 September, but we will be sending out an individual email to every customer confirming when they will be affected. For those unaware of what this entails, it means that at some point within an hour-long maintenance window assigned to your VPS we will shut your VPS down cleanly as the machine it's on is shut down, and then boot it again once the machine has booted up. It typically takes 5-10 minutes. If you wish you can opt for your VPS to be suspended to and restored from SSD if you don't like losing program state: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Suspend_and_restore Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce(a)lists.bitfolk.com https://lists.bitfolk.com/mailman/listinfo/announce
