Hi,
The below work went mostly without a hitch. VPSes were shut down at
01:04 GMT, and almost all were back up again by 01:30 GMT. A couple
of VPSes took longer doing fsck since they had been up so long
without a check. A couple of others apparently block ping so I'm
not sure about those.
I see a few services still down but they appear to be configuration
issues. If you have any problems which you believe are related to
this work then please contact support as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Andy
