Nothing works ... I can ping the server, and that is about it ... the last 
time it happened, I had a vmstat process running in an xterm, to see, and 
I suspect that there is a process (or two) starting up hitting the hard 
drive extra hard, as the drives go from an ~5 busy, to 45 busy, and stays 
like that ... the fun part is figuring out what is killing the drives ;(

I'm working on reducing the # of vServers running on that server, as I 
suspect I'm just overloading it :(
