Bear in mind that whilst erlsrv is known to work for a few people from
the community, this is not something that we have tested nor support
yet.

When you say that it is stuck, for how long does it stick in the
persister stage?

Also, how big is the log file?

Again, if you send some code that reproduces your usage so that we can
run it, stop the broker and restart so that we can reproduce your
problem.

No, that's a perfectly fine way of stopping the broker.
