[BlueOnyx:19187] Re: 5107/5108 Hyper-V image fresh install results in 40GB ?

[Greg Kuhnert]

Once a 5209 box is up, they have been stable for me. First build has had a couple of issues. I overcome these by rebooting the VPS after build of the VPS, after yum update, again after GUI install. That keeps my 5209’s stable. Root cause I think is systemd related…

Hope that helps.
