Hello, we have built a Linux render farm with 8 Strix X399-E machines, and we're encountering instability issues. The issues are rare enough that it's difficult to track down the cause, but given that the latest X399-E BIOS is quite old, we'd like to try a new BIOS on a couple of the machines to see if that makes them more stable. Are there any beta UEFI BIOS's available for the Strix X399-E?

Thanks! We were looking into RMA'ing the boards, so hopefully this helps.

The new BIOS didn't help. The problem appears to have something to do with LVM or device mapper or dm_thin_pool. It's easy to switch docker away from using device mapper. Harder to switch heketi/glustrefs.
