Description

I don't see any reason what this could have to do with the upgrade, but don't have a large enough non-prod cluster to just keep restarting on. Occurred on roughly 2 out of 100 restarted nodes.

I have the files if there is any useful analysis that can be run. Looked 'normal' to a cursory `less` inspection.
