How ever the block 0000000000ec78332f0936f4c24fa98463a415c5447655e3dbe9e1bb257db996 appears to be a valid block according to block explorers. My node is now stuck at height 1252579.

Running zcashd v5.8.0 compiled from github.

I’ll forward this but, unless this is issue specific to 5.8.0, the typical solution is to reindex.

Attempted to reindex but now node stuck at different height with a bunch of ‘hashMerkleRoot mismatch’ errors.

Could this be a disk failure?
