To those on host28:

Due to the hard drive failure on host28, Linode.com is providing an "upgrade" to a faster host server. To migrate off host28, please follow these instructions:

1) Please login to the LPM website ( http://members.linode.com/ )
2) Shutdown your Linode
3) Press the Migrate button located off the Overview page
4) Submit a boot job into the queue.

The migration should take between 20-40 minutes per Linode. This migration only affects which host you access Lish. Your IP address(es), configuration profiles, disk images, etc. all move to the new host automatically.

You may perform the migration at your leisure. Linodes that have not been migrated by Friday, November 25th will be migrated automatically some time that evening.

Thank you for your business,
Linode.com

More drives issues. I'm going to take host28 offline for a bit and see if I can manually push these migrations through.

Just a quick update. I'm having TP move this machine's power port to an RPC unit (remember when they mistakenly moved some machines off RPCs?) So, this will give me better response time to reboots than waiting for ThePlanet's techs to "get around to it".

After that's done we'll see some progress.

Updates in a bit...

OK, server plug moved, so now I'm making some progress. Looks like the secondary drive has some bad blocks, which were causing processes to block when reading from them.

Updates in a bit.

I've been manually moving filesystems over to host27. So far so good. There are about 14 of you left to do.

All migrations have been completed. No further action is required on your part.

Thank you,
