Wow! did not know of that particular failure mode, thanks for reporting.
How is relay self-hosting going otherwise? We have pushed some small performance optimizations in the last week or so to help keep up with network traffic growth. The current relay codebase should continue to work (especially if the number of subscribers is smaller), but we are actively considering ways to refactor and scale the service, as well as any protocol tweaks that might make it easier/cheaper to run relays.
I've attempted to create a self hosted BGS and did not stand by the recommendation to use XFS instead of ext4. As a result of this, I likely have hit a hash collision due to the dir_index hashing feature of ext3 + ext4.

Suggestions
tune2fs -O "^dir_index" /dev/device
as an option to disable this feature due to the millions of files that relay creates.I'm not really a good document writer but the general ideas I hope to push in the relay README are these two.
