Reboot Details

Host62 requires a reboot for two reasons:

First is that we need to crank up the fans in this machine because the 3ware RAID card is complaining that the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) temperature is too high and it often disables it which turns off write caching, which causes some performance issues.

Second reason is to move to another host kernel version because the current one is preventing some users from booting 2.6 kernels with certain filesystems (Ubuntu and Gentoo).

All Linodes will be shutdown properly, the host will be rebooted, and then your Linode will be automatically rebooted using the last used config profile. You do not need to issue reboots. Actual down-time for each Linode should be between 15-25 minutes.

I'll post here when the reboot has been completed.
