More disk. Excellent.

I'd be interested to know if the hosts always had excessive disk or if Linode actually swapped out the disks on running hosts.

I'd suspect that the newer hosts have larger disks than the older hosts, and once there was enough capacity for everyone, the button could be pushed.

I take it this will migrate to a new box then? Are the bugs out of the new ones? I'm still on an L5630 @ 2.13GHz x 8 (Atlanta) , which has been rock solid stable and fast.

I re-joined after the new machine was added, and I haven't noticed any major issues. Unfortunately that means I can't comment on how smoothly the migration will go.

Nope. When you choose to upgrade the info says that no migration is necessary.

According to the blog post you may need to be migrated depending on the host disk capacity

This is awesome. We were apparently at 50% of / on the 1GB plan. I could probably setup a chroot or Gitweb. Though GitHub works fine.

Try gitlab. Once it's set up (which is the hardest part) it's awesome it's like your own private github
