I have one more idea... daily cron jobs tend to really load down the
system for a short period of time, especially the disks. In your case
the local daily cron is combinging with the daily cron running on the
NFS clients. There could be a hardware problem with the system that
is most likely to show up under heavy loads.
It is also possible that this is revealing a driver bug somewhere.
For example, the extreme disk load could be revealing a bug in the
driver's tag handling or in the RAID card's tag handling. The lack
of driver-based error messages is rather odd. I don't see how that
can happen unless the RAID card itself is locking up.
