From sometime on Thursday evening or early Friday morning until Saturday morning the site was mostly non-functional. The server exceeded our available disk space. I added 20GB of disk to the server Saturday morning and then was able to prune some data to get the site up and running again. The problem was caused by a cache table growing out of control and made worse by the daily backups that store the last 10 days of database backups online.
Of course, Murphy was helping out as well and I was on a cruise with unreliable internet acess and couldn't resolve the issue until we hit land on Saturday morning. The issue appears to be corrected now, but I'll keep a close watch on it.
