Hi Andy,
Apologies for the slow follow-up...

There was no possibility of rescheduling, and given
the late hour it
took a long time to get to the point where the move could be made.
This delayed the start of the maintenance from 2245Z to around 0119Z
and made it slightly longer than it was intended to be
(approximately 40 minutes, instead of the announced maximum of 30
minutes).

In both the faustino and urquell cases this morning I suspended the
VMs to disk and restored them afterwards.
Just to clarify, are you saying that the VPS's on Faustino were shutdown
then restarted... then later on you did a suspend/restore?
I've got a boot script (in /etc/rc.local) that sends me an SMS upon
(re)boot... This occured so I was just wondering when the suspend/restore
occured? (Apologies if I'm being a dumbass with the timeline of what
happened here)
Those with VPSes on faustino or urquell may wish to
check that their
time is correct and that ntpd is running.
Yep, thanks for that - mine had indeed sulked.
In future would you prefer if we never try to do this
suspend/restore thing and instead just do a normal shutdown/boot?
In light of what happened I'd prefer a normal shutdown/boot given the more
predictable effects.
Thanks as always for keeping us up-to-date with what's happening/happened.
Cheers,
Mathew
