Strace / gdb will hang there too for trace a process.

What are the LVM PVs ? Is it a scsi/virt device ? Or iscsi/drbd/???
I didn't hear back if there's any kernel errors.
Is the storage broken/stuck/disconnected ?
Can you run "time find /pgdata /pgarchive /pgwal -ls |wc" ?
Could you run "ps -u postgres -O wchan============================="
Can you strace one of the stuck backends ?
It sounds like you'll have to restart the service or VM (forcibly if necessary)
to resolve the immediate issue and then collect the other info, and leave a
"psql" open to try to (if the problem recurs) check pg_stat_activity and other
DB info.
