What bothers me is how it was "running for a couple years without
problems" before. From what I gathered here, the main/only thing you
changed was your datastore size? Surely if you put that back to normal,
things should work like before?

Hmm, okay, I guess that wasn't too helpful :p. But, many clues can be
gleaned nevertheless. The first hang was caused by "Resizing
datastore", although I'm not sure if it was due to insufficient memory,
or I/O bottleneck. (Perhaps you can monitor your free memory and
"uptime" values next time.) After that first hang, it looks like your
node wasn't even able to restart itself -- it could be a wrapper
problem, or perhaps a node bug caused by the original failed
datastore-resizing attempt. Magically, 8 hours later, it does manage to
restart, but 15 minutes in, it hangs again during datastore maintenance
-- again, probably due to insufficient memory.

You said you reduced memory from 512mb to 256mb -- put it back to
512, if you can :p.

Alternatively, you can test with a fresh/new datastore, to avoid
resizing overhead, which I believe is costly?
