For fun, I ran hdparm to test the I/O on staging-opsi vs. a staging linux slave. Here's the results
moz2-linux-slave04:
/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   4684 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2345.69 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  132 MB in  3.02 seconds =  43.64 MB/sec

staging-opsi:
/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   3770 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1886.00 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   18 MB in  3.35 seconds =   5.37 MB/sec


I'm still going to go ahead and do the upgrades on production-opsi, but there's going to be more we need to do here.

These upgrades have been completed on production-opsi.  Filed bug 518564 to further investigate the disk I/O issues.
