Got that sorted out. Had forced a failure in the db connect code earlier
in the day to get the cache fallback working right, so then it wouldn't
reconnect. :P
Anyway, we've suspected disk or SCSI controller problems on pliny before
in relation to its crashes. If the main disk went out in the same way
that the second disk did today, it would produce the customary symptoms:
kernel and some processes stay running (so responds to ping, and partway
through ssh connect), nothing in logs (because it can't write to the
logs), and then after reboot it's as though nothing happened.
BLEEEEEEH!
Thanks to Jason for getting the hard reboot done, and for getting
larousse back online as well.
