What's the current status of your PS5 Runa?

I think I've more or less figured out what happens, when it happens, and how to avoid it. It is NOT ideal and I do hope Sony fixes it, but it's a patchwork solution.

Basically, the system hard reboots/crashes any time an automatic update goes through and I'm playing a PS5 game. Then, after that happens, I have to repair the database, restore the hard drive, and wait for the external to be read again. Fully. From top to bottom (Can take 20-30 minutes, since it's a 4TB drive). If I try to access the external at all during this, it freezes my PS5 and either boots me out/restarts, or just won't allow me access to anything and the speed is tanked (Takes up to 5 minutes to open Demon's Souls). 

Because of this, and my recklessness in trying to 'brute force' my way back in (hard restart on the console because it froze and pressing the power button didn't work so I had to unplug the console), I corrupted my Demon's Souls save data; I couldn't even reload from the cloud. 

Now that I've got a patchwork solution...all I gotta do is not automatically update my games and it seems to be fine. I'll risk it again if and when fix comes out. I can still USE the external without issue, and I can use all the console's other features, but if that happens it takes forever to let the console re-read the drive so it's not slowing everything down.
