Well that was a white knuckle moment!
Amazon bricked the bootloader of our server after an update and i had to pull the disk and reconstruct the system.
Amazon's disk performance limits meant that this reconstruction took about 5 times longer than it should have while copying files.
I have to say i am not pleased with amazon right now and will not be updating the server or even rebooting it until we move away from this host.
Sorry for the interruption. I got us back up as fast as possible.
