> Has every instance of this bug involved ssh in the stack trace? All the ones we've had to date. I initially thought it was apparmor related because it mentions memory allocation etc but having removed the packages and rebuilt initramfs I guess not.
If it happens again from now on, I'll make sure we always get a photo. > Can you describe the software raid stack in detail? It's really simple. 4x 2TB drives, each with a 2 partitons, the first being 2GB and the remainder. sda1 and sdb1 are RAID1 as /boot, sdc1 and sdd1 are RAID1 for swap and the sda2,b2,c2,d2 are RAID5 as / Currently the / filesystem is about 70% full. > My first guess would be that OCFS is to blame.

The machine only mounts a snapshot of our live SAN via iSCSI once a week to copy over virtual machine images. It TENDS to lock up at those times, however it's also by far the busiest time on the box as it'll be running rsnapshot backups at the same time too. It's not unsual for the box to have 180% IO WAIT across the two CPUs at those times. We've put more RAM in the box again this week to see if that solves it. I'm wondering if it's starting to swap to the point that the box is getting overloaded. Time will tell if that has any effect. It's hard because munin gives some idea of things like load/memory usage as the box loads up, but isn't frequent enough to catch a spike!
