Troubleshooting Swift 1.7.4 on mini servers

Hey folks-

I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with my Swift deployment on a
small cluster of "mini" servers.   I have a small test cluster (5 storage
nodes, 1 proxy) of mini-servers that are ARM-based.   The proxy is a
regular, Intel-based server with plenty of RAM.   The
object/account/container servers are relatively small, with 2GB of RAM per
node.

Everything starts up fine, but now I'm trying to troubleshoot a strange
problem.   After I successfully upload a few test files, it seems like the
storage system stops responding and the proxy gives me a 503 error.

Here's the test sequence I run on my proxy:

lab@proxy01:~/bin$ ./swiftcl.sh stat

swift -A http://proxy01:8080/auth/v1.0 -U system:root -K testpass stat

   Account: AUTH_system

Right now, there is nothing special in the object-server.conf:

[DEFAULT]
bind_ip = 192.168.1.206
workers = 1

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = object-server

[app:object-server]
use = egg:swift#object

[object-replicator]

[object-updater]

[object-auditor]

[object-server]
set log_level = DEBUG

My general question is: how do I troubleshoot this?   I've tried turning on
debug logging on the Object Server, but I don't get any additional clues.

The Object-servers do give a 507 error, which might indicate a disk
problem, but there is nothing wrong with the storage drive.   And also if
there was a fundamental drive problem then I wouldn't be able to upload
objects in the first place.

My best guess at the moment is that I should adjust the configuration of
the object servers to reflect their lower performance.   What would I
adjust, the cache size?   I'm not seeing any log messages that would
indicate a time-out.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
