The "best" further anecdote i have is: I cloned(*) the server, on identical hardware (ignoring HDDs), for someone else with 2 major differences. - no loop-aes, as they didn't need encryption. - ext4 instead of xfs That machine has currently an uptime of 180 days and i don't have a single report of a "hang". (Which technically doesn't mean that the machine doesn't have that same bug. Only that no one ever complained to me) For empirical data: I don't know how or where to start. *: In the best sense of the word. As the first step i 'rsync'ed the "system"-HDD of our server to a new HDD. ...
