You do realize that this is when daily cron jobs normally happen? If you
want something I/O intensive then running updatedb on an IDE system will
do that, it will also flog the ram (I don't imagine, that the machine
has much running on it that would use ram). I seriously recomend that
you replace the machine if you consider it so "mission critical" that
you can't take it down to investigate the error.
