So I went into a Linode Dashboard this morning and it said an upgrade is pending to increase more space, so I clicked it and it allocated the increase in space but did not shutdown the linode to apply it, I shall do that at a better time for the shutdown.

I went into another Linode and thought I had the same upgrade message (I cant say as its gone now). I clicked it thinking it will be the same as above and this is the message I immediately had with no confirmation and no opportunity to cancel:


You are in the Migration Queue!
Your position is 1 out of 1 queued migrations in this Linode's datacenter.
Your Linode will be automatically shut down, migrated, and returned to its last state.


That was a bit of a surprise I expected the same message as the first Linode, OR due to the seriousness of a shutdown at least a Confirm question. There was neither a confirm question or an option to cancel out of the queue.


I think this is quite serious. With a simple quick click on a link, my Linode and all its websites are now shutting down and I cant stop it. Its a peak hour this time, customers checking emails etc.

The message is different, in the bottom left it says 'Migration not required' or 'Migration required' in bold. Although a little javascript popup if migration is required to confirm wouldn't hurt.

How to ask for help
1. Give details of your problem
2. Post any errors
3. Post relevant logs.
4. Don't hide details i.e. your domain, it just makes things harder
5. Be polite or you'll be eaten by a grue

I think confirmation is vital, I did not notice this message. ALL my other Linodes did not start automatically so thought it would be the same.
