[quote=jsteele]Here is the long answer as to what is happening. The DCUM web server has RAID storage. The RAID card has a battery that has apparently gone bad. When the system senses that the battery is bad, it disables the RAID card's write cache. That causes writes to be slow. Then, if the server gets hit by a big load of writes -- such as many posters posting messages -- the database server stops writing to disk. Then, no posts. But, reading normally is fine except for things like the "recent posts" page which seems to stop working. When I notice this, I've been rebooting the server which seems to fix the battery problem temporarily. This temporarily fixes the write cache problem which fixes the database problem, which means it works for you again. The short answer is that I'll probably have to replace hardware on the server.
