Pulleeze...

I've been running practically every release of 2.2.x on almost 30 servers
on a more regular basis than probably anybody.

This is the only machine having the problem, and it ran 2.2.2 just yippee
skippee.  The problem started 10 minutes after 2.2.5 went in, and I'm
having a hard time believing that it could be anything else, when
there's no other failure mode (like smoke, disk problems, ethernet
interface problems, or anything else).

I have restored part of the backups to get to a usable 2.2.2, and it boots
and runs just fine.  

Given that John even points out that there are bugs in the vfs_bio code
that weren't in 2.2.2, I find it hard not to point the finger a bit at
2.2.5.

In any case, I will try the 2 patches I got and see what happens.


It definitely appears load related.
