What does mysql have to do with it?  I don't have mysql installed on
this machine.

However, the comment about looking at the logs pointed me to a related
issue.  I am seeing this in my logs:

        kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
        kernel: dm-0: rw=0, want=4344463064, limit=126550016

Looks like I may have some corruption on the disk.  When I get a chance,
I'll take it down and run fsck to see if that will help.
