Been running fine for a few months now. Today, the speed (8x600GB Velociraptors) on a PE 2950 slowed to a crawl. Not DOA, just VERY slow over 10GB NICS.
Just tried to web in and I cannot get to the web interface. Stopped and started apache.
Seems as though I make it 6 months and then something goes kaflooey on DSS.
Any ideas before I migrate everything back over to FreeNAS so I can reboot?

check the raid controller, and also check boot media. If the boot media is USB, best to change to SSD.
Boot media is USB. Why is that a problem? Hasn't ever been in the past, and it's a supported config, right?
Hang on.....I got in finally and it said my version needed to be activated, randomly. I reactivated fine. And my speed returned to normal.
Wierd. Hinkey.
Your issue of re-activation being triggered, could be a sign of failing boot media.
Yes, USB is supported, but most USB media is only good for a few years and starts to flake out, showing the behavior you describe.
