host359.rimuhosting.com is one of our older hosts due for some software updates.  Firstly the host will be updated, which will require a restart of all VPSs, then VPSs will be converted to use a different storage backend which will improve performance and allow backups to run faster.

We will be going through and updating each VPS one at a time, and the amount of downtime will depend on the filesystem size of the VPS.  Expect 3-5 minutes of downtime per GB of your VPS filesystem size, a typical update of a 4GB VPS will take 15 minutes.  We will begin working on updates starting on Monday, 21 May 2012 at 22:00:00 and allow a 6 hour maintenance window to convert all VPS to the new storage system:

We are not able to give exact timing on when your VPS will be converted to the new storage backend, but if you pop in a ticket and would like to schedule your update near a certain time within the mainteance window we will do our best to accomodate that.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this maintenance.
