I first tried to restart the disk backed nodes, and they both gave me an error, saying </span><font>“<font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 19px;">timeout_waiting_for_tables” on the other two nodes. Googled around, and it sounded like the ram node was the last one to go out. </span></font></font></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><font><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br></span></font></font></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><font><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 19px;">So I tried restarting the ram backed node, and it started fine.
