Great.
How does the disk cache look?

Nevermind. This box was just rebooted. Remote hands at datacenter got the wrong box about 2hrs ago...

Can you tell I'm having a good week?

Honestly, I don't know. This is not an easily replicable problem.

None of the logs have clearly shown any issues. The nagios logs are verbose and the NOC can't give me a good window when they noticed it was hosed. I know when I was woken up to restart it. but there's nothing in the logs around that time.

And, we're highly unlikely to see the issue again as the network re-architecture has been completed for this site. might just need to close this thread and if it ever happens again, I'll have a script ready for the NOC to run to dump the logs out and capture a few other metrics.

Sounds like a plan. We like closing threads. Keep an ear to the ground and let us know if the issue recurs.
