Hi Josh,

Today is not the worse day for this issue, because Fridays DB have little
workload... But I have this output:

http://pastebin.com/bKg8tfKC

I don't have updated OS server from the install.
I also begin to think that the problem is OS misconfiguration (Kernel
parameters??) or Hardware problem...

Thanks for your help.
