Ugh, you forget just how incredibly slow magnetic storage is when trying to upgrade a server still using it. Where you're normally used to upgrade logs just flying past you thanks to having Samsung 830 SSDs everywhere in my house, with the magnetic storage on my public cloud node you actually have to sit around and wait :( Anyway, hacked a solution to my iptables problems by sticking a copy of haproxy in there to do port forwarding for me - yeah, I know, way overkill, but I have the free RAM on the house node. Now upgrading my public node's Plone installation to the 4.2 series, should be troublefree … says I hopefully.
