We were just ssh'd into the system so load was non-existent. A few weeks ago we transferred 20GB of data via rsync to the system with no issues. Established ssh connections were fine, nmap reported that ssh was listening on port 22, but no new ssh connection to the system would complete. Using telnet to connect to port 22 didn't get any response. Rebooting the system didn't fix the problem. We had to power cycle the system before it fixed itself.
