Mmmm .... not quite sure which way round to read that. Presumably the box
that was the server fell over, and the clients are fine? So the workload that's
causing problems is doing predominantly reads? If so, I suggest you tear down
Andrew's patch to read side only, and submit that ... I get the feeling that would
be acceptable, and would solve your problem.
