Aw, but I just reached 100 days uptime! http://i.imgur.com/1Aoytkt.png

Alright, let's do this...

EDIT: migration is completed, my webapp did not recover nicely after the reboot for some reason, but now works after I restarted it manually. Everything seems fine so far. System boot took 3 seconds.

I migrated my Linode from Xen to KVM yesterday; I had a ticket open and needed to migrate my VM to a different host anyway, so I decided to simply migrate to KVM.

After shutting down my VM and clicking "migrate", the migration actually failed, which was a bit terrifying for a few minutes. I was definitely worried that my disk image went poof and that I'd have to restore from a recent backup. Thankfully, Linode's support was there to kick whatever failed and the migration worked after all.

My VM feels a bit more responsive on interactive session, though I haven't benchmarked anything. (I don't really need to, I only serve a few low-traffic static web sites.)
