@widget 3 or 4 days. It was coincidence that I figured it all out in the end. Like something out of House MD, I had one of those epiphany flashbacks where everything comes together.

@thelastgherkin Oh hey it's just like when I was in charge! Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

@thelastgherkin Obviously you did something wrong.

@widget Literally the only way I found to stop it doing that was to cron a mysqloptimize once a week. But you're better at this than me, so you should be able to figure something slightly more elegant than that.

@widget >Weird stuff comes up in those situations. You have no idea. One time, I had a server that crashed every single day between 10 and 10:20, and then again between 2 and 2:20. I spent days tearing my hair out as to why the server would suddenly flip out, shut down DHCP and kill the office network. Event logs showed nothing, all the hardware was solid, no power, temperature or even weird impact spikes.

@widget Do you know what was killing the server? Some guy with a jailbroken iPhone was tethering it and using it as a proxy w/ DHCP on the same subnet as the server. Those time periods were when he went to get coffee. His iPhone would associate with the Wireless Access Points in the conference suites, Windows Server would see the "rogue" DHCP server on the iPhone and shut down the network. What's the point of this story? I guess that if you bring unauthorised hardware onto my network I'll beat you with a pipe. I don't know. I'm tired and kind of derranged lately.

@ceruleanspark Pipes are a great way to deal with non-standard hardware.
