Hi Stefan,

Yes, the same instance that froze (collected it after a reboot).

- looking at the same instance type, does it happen on all of them
sooner or later or are there exceptions?

There is one of our instances of that type that is under the same load
but hasn't frozen in weeks. Since they're part of the same sharded
cluster, they receive a very similar amount of queries. Not sure why
that one is different. We've rolled out about 20 instances of this type,
and other than that one, they all freeze. Things that we've tried: LVM
vs MDADM (still freezes), XFS vs ext4, not raiding the ephemeral storage
at all, all of them led to freezes. The one that has only frozen once is
non-RAIDed and uses XFS, but that same combination led to freezes in
other instances.

- did the same kind of workload run without issues in a previous Ubuntu
release or were those new projects  starting with Onerirc/Precise

We usually run Natty, we only upgraded to Precise to see if it would fix
the issue (it actually happens much more quickly on Precise). We did
similar workloads at smaller rates on Natty, but with the SSD instances
we're throwing 3x the traffic to each instance.
