# Known Issues
Details on previously identified known issues are provided below. Details on known issues identfied
in the current release are provided in the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
Known issues are open issues categorized as [Very High or High impact](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/BESU/Defect+Prioritisation+Policy).
## Scope of logs query causing Besu to hang
[`eth_getLogs` queries that are too large or too broad can cause Besu to never return](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/issues/944).
Workaround - Limit the number of blocks queried by each `eth_getLogs` call.
A fix for this issue is being actively worked on.
## Eth/65 loses peers
From v1.4.4, `eth/65` is [disabled by default](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/pull/741).
If enabled, peers will slowly drop off and eventually Besu will fall out of sync or stop syncing.
A fix for this issue is being actively worked on.
## Fast sync when running Besu on cloud providers
A known [RocksDB issue](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/6435) causes fast sync to fail
when running Besu on certain cloud providers. The following error is displayed repeatedly:
```
...
EthScheduler-Services-1 (importBlock) | ERROR | PipelineChainDownloader | Chain download failed. Restarting after short delay.
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: org.hyperledger.besu.plugin.services.exception.StorageException: org.rocksdb.RocksDBException: block checksum mismatch:
....
```
This behaviour has been seen on AWS and Digital Ocean.
Workaround -> On AWS, a full restart of the AWS VM is required to restart the fast sync.
Fast sync is not currently supported on Digital Ocean. We are investigating options to
[add support for fast sync on Digital Ocean](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/issues/591).
