Host31's OOM killer decided to start eating Linodes this morning.

Should be a quick reboot -- updates in a few.

This is getting to be like Ten Little Indians. Any of us could be next!!!

Seriously, what's taking the kernel devs so long with 2.6.11...

Yeah, 2.6.10's OOM killer was seriously hosed. Apparently, these bugs existing in previous 2.6 kernels as well, but some (minor?) changes that are in 2.6.10 caused it to be much more sensitive.

I apologize for these mid-afternoon reboots but they are necessary. Linode.com works hard to provide a stable environment for your Linodes and this upgrade should eliminate the OOM-killer problems.

We did test the existing 2.6.10 host kernel for a few weeks in production without any problems before upgrading these machines, but the OOM killer bug has a mind of its own.

Linodes are restarting now.
