  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM

Confirm bug
 
From the developer:

I can't reproduce that. I created a script, which interacts with I/O, run cron and after remove subscription with directories without any problems (on CentOS 7)
I try with a clean subscription. Maybe it depends on the weight of subscription, or it happens for every subscription with a running cron job, no matter how heavy it is (size in bytes, I mean).
 
This is happening with Magento 2 websites.

Subscriptions are about 5 - 20GB. Also we have a Cron running every minute. This Cron fires about 6 PHP processes every minute. Each of these PHP process runs for about 3 seconds.

We have to make sure to 'Suspend' the subscription before removal to prevent the above issue happening.

Also this doesn't happens 100% of the time. I will say about 50%.
 
@WebHostingAce, developers would like to perform debugging this rare case directly on your server.
If you don't mind, please contact our Support Team to give them access to your server for further investigation.
Thank you.
 
@IgorG This is happening on all our servers.

As I explained in the above reply, we can eliminate this issue by Suspending the Subscription before removal.

Ok, I will contact the Support when I get a chance.

Thank you.
