I certainly have not repartitioned the disks multiple times.  There's
no need for that.  It leads to these sort of problems.

The kernel does panic from time to time.

To repeat, this box was *completely unattended* for several weeks
before the crash.  No administration at all.  I simply rsync'd things
off it as necessary.  As a non-root user.

I am curious about the fact that /dev/sdd1 and /dev/sde1 were listed
together in this lvm cache, and those are the two disks that normally
get blasted every 6 months or so.  That's an odd coincidence, and my
best lead yet.
