I set the auto close for this topic to August 1st 2022 … in 12 days. The reason for this is that the poll is meant to be a snapshot in time (right now). I do hope a few more will take the poll.

In my own case I have changed the template for my management dvm from debian-11-minimal based to the stock fedora-36 and not observed any further freezes (so far). Before that I used the debian-11-minimal based one for a pretty long time without freezes too until it started happening very recently. … so I hope to narrow in on something here. Probably an instance of the “health warning” for minimal templates: know what you are doing!

However, above I see at least one person also experiencing an issue with a fedora based management dvm. It would be nice to see some more answers and if a pattern develops. Thank you for your consideration.
