Too much reboot-only UTM updates

guawhitehawk
Hi everyone....

iam using the UTM (ASG) since v7 and remebered that in earlier days, there were much more up2date updates which did NOT require a reboot and that this was much more convenient while updating 24/7 HA production clusters than today where as good as every update package with minor changes needs a reboot.

WHY? Can anybody tell me, or has anyone the same opinion?

I mean - almost only kernel updates on regular linux systems need a reboot (if you dont use KSplice, KPatch, Kwhatever) and even critical openssl updates only need a restart of the dependent services, which does an up2date anyways.

I would like to tell Sophos/Astaro that they should return to more non-reboot-up2date packages!

Regards, Martin

    Guys, I'm optimistic that this will get some attention. Last year when we got hammered with new threats was when it started to become necessary to reboot so often.  I believe that Sophos upper management failed to realize that they urgently needed to focus more QA and developer time on the current versions.  I think they've made the adjustment and are now working on tightening up the current versions.  That's my opinion, and I'm not a Sophos employee, nor do I have any special, inside information.

    Cheers - Bob
