Load issue from #6 and #7 look like the same. Running ext3 on all(intrepid/karmic/lucid). We would most often see hangs and load shooting up, during code builds, but not always. Sometimes builds would proceed normally. Also random load/hang during normal non-busy server activity. My first thought was bad instances or over-utilized instances, "steal time" was minimal however. We spawned many instances to rule that out. Our remaining Intrepid instances and new Karmic instances do not show this behavior.
