Hi Andrew,
I just added a @reboot line to the crontab of the mediawiki2latex
instance. And everything came up well after I rebooted from the command
line. Unfortunately I currently cannot log into horizon at the moment,
so I cannot issue a hard reset as you requested. But it is perfectly Ok
for me if you do it any time you like. I just think it is a good idea to
shutdown the machine normally before you hard-reset it in order to avoid
any data corruption.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Yours Dirk

The issue that resulted in partial VM reboots last week[0] (see "VM
reboots coming Tuesday, 2024-01-20") turns out to be more widespread,
affecting virtually all instances. The primary symptom is that it
restricts our ability to drain and maintain WMCS hardware.
In order to resolve the issue, all that's needed is a hard reboot of
each VM. Note that a simple in-place reboot (for instance, issued at
in the shell of the VM) does NOT resolve the issue. Hard reboots must
be performed via Horizon, by selecting 'Hard Reboot Instance' on the
Instances panel.
So, please, at your convenience, log into Horizon and hard reboot any
of your VMs that appear on the list below. For informal coordination I
have also populated an etherpad[1] with the list of affected VMs.
Anything that remains in need of a reboot by late next week (Thursday,
February 6th) I will reboot for you. So, if you don't care when/if
your VM is rebooted you can ignore this message :)
Thank you! And, sorry for the inconvenience. We have a plan in
place[2] which should prevent this issue from re-appearing in the future.
