      Yes, that should be fixed now. I'm not sure if it made the May 7th build but it will be in the next one if not.

        Any updates on this?

        Can you inspect the contents of /cf/conf/RAM_Disk_Store from the recovery shell after a boot failure?

        ls /cf/conf/RAM_Disk_Store should do it

        @w0w I bet you are going to see a file pfnet-controller.db.gz in that directory

            Thanks for verifying!

            We've got a root cause now, and are assessing potential solutions.

            This will make it into 25.03.

                      You'll need to reapply the patch to that. The fix was put it just after that was built. It will be in the next public build.
