Hi, At around 00:33 BST (23:33Z) we started to receive alerts regarding services on host "clockwork". Upon investigation it was showing all the signs of being the intermittent "frozen I/O" problem we've been having: https://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20210425.071102.9d9a1cc5.en.html As mentioned in that earlier email, I'd decided that the next step would be prepare new hypervisor packages and I did do that the next day. As this issue seems to happen only every few months and on different servers we do not yet know if the new packages fix the problem. They've been in use on other servers since late April without incident, but that isn't yet proof enough given the long periods between occurrences. Anyway, after "clockwork" was power cycled the new packages were installed there and then all VMs were started again. This was completed by about 01:16 BST (00:16Z). There are still many of our servers where we know this is going to happen again at some point. I don't feel comfortable scheduling maintenance to upgrade them when I don't know if the upgrade will be effective. If we can go a significant period of time on the newer version without incident then we will schedule a maintenance window to get the remaining servers on those versions too. It is also possible that there will be a security patch that forces a maintenance, in which case we'll upgrade the hypervisor packages to the newer version at the same time. There are also some servers still left to be emptied so that their operating systems can be upgraded. Those are "hen" and "paradox". Once they are emptied and upgraded they will of course be put on the newer version of the hypervisor. It is expected that customer services we move from these servers will be put on servers that already have the newer hypervisor version. Thank you for your patience and I apologise for the disruption. I'm doing all that I can to try to find a solution.
