I understand. Another change with my AMD hosts is that they have SSDs. Might be related. My VM, "potato", is on Odin which had only 7 other VPSs on it, and very little activity. Prometheus, on the other hand, had more usage including a Bitcoin node and a Monero node. > If you could test and report back it would be very helpful. I'm running this patch on Bragi now. I think I should have more VMs running on Bragi, but so far I have a Bitcoin node running, doing a full, pruned sync. I also have one running on Odin (where potato is) as a control to see if it lasts a few days and dies again. I'll report back, but so far the patch has been stable. Thank you for your help! -Slow Servers
