[bitfolk] Security reboots coming, likely starting weekend of 17/18/19 June

Hi, Unfortunately during the work for the next Xen release, developers have found a bunch of serious security issues which affect versions and configurations we have deployed. These were pre-disclosed today, with full public disclosure coming on Tuesday 20 June 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 of Saturday 17 June, 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 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. 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
