I will be rebooting NIBBLER later on this evening (around 11pm ET) to load in an updated linux kernel that may hopefully resolve its recent stability issues...

The earlier crash provided me with a bit more information about the lockup... It appears to have been localized to CPU #3 locking up in the ACL section of the filesystem code as those spinlocks are pretty heavily hit... The quad core servers seem to be hitting this glitch more than the dual core servers are...

NIBBLER will be reset within the minute...

NIBBLER went through 2 power cycles and the updated kernel is now in production...

Hopefully this will prove to be a step in the right direction...
