Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I've also decided to focus some attention on the ringbuffer. Moving it off LVM, maybe even to a different filesystem (it's on JFS right now). Maybe resizing it is a good experiment too. It sounds like maybe your problem is in the past -- do you still see it? If so, do you notice any particular patterns? If not, any ideas what finally resolved it?
