If you are running boinc seti one of their servers just crashed.

We were about one third or so through the database migration when the new
server hung and the migration job stopped. We are diagnosing the problem
now. During the migration the internal I/O mentioned below (we think it is
some sort of garbage collection) was also occurring. This was vastly
slowing the data movement to the new server. In addition to figuring out
why the server crashed, we will wait until the garbage collection is
finished before restarting the migration. It will be at least a day from
now.
