Re: Problem with pgstat timeouts

Batteries are installed and healthy.  I wonder if it did it during one of the charge/discharge cycles and just did not revert (interestingly, I have one more server that did just that).  I am trying to get the info from LSI as to what may have caused it, if it is safe to revert the cache mode while it is running, and, of course, the exact command so I don't foobar things up.
