Hello!

Due to a security update in glibc, we need to reboot all labs instances and virt hosts. The updates are currently being installed on all instances and the reboots will start at 18:00 UTC (10 AM in California) on Thursday.

A reboot is needed since the updated glibc packages are only effective once all processes using glibc have been restarted, and virtually all processes use glibc.

If you're running a labs instance which for some reason should not be rebooted currently, please email me directly with the details. We will do our best to insulate toollabs jobs from this reboot, but some long-running jobs may need to be restarted by hand after the reboots.

-Andrew
