As a general tip: since the command is not working as you expected, it
may help to remove '-loglevel fatal', which will cause only
non-recoverable errors to be printed.

As Ferdi mentioned, sharing the full, uncut console output (without
errors suppressed) from an instance where you have the problem will
help others help you.
