Pete Emerson is still having a problem:
It's hard for me to tell, because when I restore the backup and do a
whisper-fetch on the file I get None right up to the current timestamp.

It does appear that we were thrashing disk and swapping; I'm doing a
backup now with nice -5 rsync --bwlimit=1024 and so far, there are no
holes in the data. Before, it was running at the same priority as my
graphite loader program (that pulls from ganglia), and I bet swapping
and too much disk activity was causing this issue.
