Quota Kernel Patch ALL SERVERS

#1 06-29-2006, 01:25 AM

We are currently in the process of repairing a kernel bug regarding quota management that is causing some of the servers to crash. However, whenever a kernel patch is applied we do need to reboot the servers so please expect brief periods of downtime (10-15 minutes) throughout the evening as we make this critical repair.

Our apologies for the inconvenience but it is simply unavoidable. If anyone has any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us!

Best Regards,
Robert Stone

Robert Stone and I have completed the kernel patching on all shared and reseller servers. We had a minor issue with gator111 which required the replacement of the RAID card, but other then that things went rather smoothly. You should not notice any changes except for hopefully more stable servers!

If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding this update please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
David Collins

Hi guys!

So what about Dedicated server? Can we request this also or do we need to live with the bug and found out on how to repair the Kernel ourself?

Thanks

Depends on what OS and current kernel you have on your dedicated server. If you need us to have a look, please place a support ticket with the needed server info.

RedHat Enterprise 4 i686 for me

if you have shell access

uname -a

will give you the kernel version you are running. With that support will be able to check if you need update or not.

hope it helps
