Dear all, Since the last host update to the latest master snapshot, we have encountered a situation where hosts with the following CPU can no longer be activated: Xeon Gold 5418Y. The error comes from a database function of the engine: "PSQLEXCEPTION: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(4000) Where: SQL statement "UPDATE vds_dynamic SET cpuflags = vcpu_flags WHERE vdsid = vvds_id" PL/pgSQL function updatecpuflags(uuid, character varying) line 3 at SQL statement" Since the update, the length of the CPU flags exceeds the datatype varchar(4000) as declared in the DB. Currently, we have no solution, and the nodes remain 'unassigned'. Does anyone know of a workaround or when this presumably known error will be fixed? Thank you and best regards, Christoph

Hi, Interesting :) Could you do me a favour, and create an issue on github so it can get tracked? Please also include the cpu flags of that CPU if possible. Then I'll get this fixed for the next release! Thanks Jean-Louis On 7/07/2025 08:20, Christoph Koehler wrote:
