This is the canonical story of databases, I had similar frightening nights several years ago with my MongoDB setup. I'm not a DevOps guy and having to wake up to figure out what is broken (and it always being the database) eventually took a toll on me. What's the point of running my database in the cloud if my storage space is still finite? Isn't the whole point of the cloud unlimited scalability? So why on earth do I have to be an expert in MDADM, LVM and all that other junk in order to make use of those unlimited number of hard drives? Ugh, sorry for the rant but this story causes triggers in me back to those days. I tried doing stuff differently since, experimenting with new database concepts, trying to make things better, and the good news is that I have never had this problem since - so hopefully I can save the pain and woes of future souls, http://gunDB.io/ .
