| Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2004 6:27 pm Post subject: Upcoming Reboot Schedule - Host4, Host7, Host8 |
|
|
The following hosts will be migrated to the Linux 2.6 host kernel. Linux 2.6 has shown some performance gains, mostly in disk I/O performance with the Completely Fair Queuing (CFQ) disk scheduler.
Reboot Schedule
Thu, March 18, 2004 22:00 EST (-5 GMT):
host4, host7, host8
All Linodes will be shutdown properly, the host will be rebooted, and then your Linode will be rebooted using the last used config profile.
Actual down-time should be between 15-45 minutes. Please allow a one to two hour window for the reboot to occur.
If this affects you, you'll be getting an email from me shortly. The reboot schedule for the other hosts will be announced next week.
Status and details will be posted on this thread.
Thanks,
-Chris |

| I've been using kernel 2.6 at home and office. The speed difference is incredible over 2.4. Looking forward to my host being moved over. |
