Received an email from URPad on node outage. Yes, it is similar to one of the millions of emails I get from providers, but I really want to say if there is node outage, I think it would definitely be better for clients to know what the outage is for, etc, which unfortunately I don't see any here:

This is a brief note to inform you that tomorrow, May 29th, there will be a brief outage on the Sierra VPS node(Los Angeles). This outage should be no more than twenty minutes, and will occur between 6-9pm PST.



With Thanks,



Jason Kaminsky

20 minutes is just enough to reboot a node, not enough time to replace hardware, etc. So probably just a kernel upgrade.

I was just thinking at least some sort of words like "why we rebooted this" would be nice

Check the kernel version before and after the reboot. If it's a different kernel version now, that should explain it

I agree with zhuanyi, it's always nice to know what is going on with the server and it also gives you an idea what to expect.

Mmm...I didn't keep track of my kernel versions. I guess the idea here is not exactly why they rebooted the machine but whether they could have done it a nicer way with some sort of explanation.

I hope that's not too much to ask?

This actually worries me because they just being bought up and now they are so eagerly to do the expansion without waiting for anything to stabilize.

I am not sure where it is leading to.
