Dreamhosting gets better

After several go-rounds via email with a couple of support folks at Dreamhost, they’ve said the problems I was experiencing with all my files residing on happy.dreamhost.com were related to happy’s NFS mounts — apparently something was wrong with its server, though it was never clear exactly what. Last night they moved all our files to yen, which has an uptime of 21 days, much more promising than the recent less-than-one-day uptimes I’d been seeing on Happy. /proc/cpuinfo reports four processors and the load average is less than two. It’s responsive when I ssh in, and the pages load quickly, so for now, I’ve got my fingers crossed and I’m, um, happy to be off Happy.
