Hi Aurélien, The VMs become completely unresponsive, so we can't run commands in a separate shell. I've included a stack trace below. I'm considering trying the cache=loose mount option. Cheers, James Sep 4 13:36:36 prod-worker-1a kernel: [ 3384.616360] INFO: task dockerd:786 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
