Public bug reported:
Every few days, a relatively disk-intensive task such as
find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod u+s # or
cvs up
will cause my system to hang. The filesystem (reiser4 on /home) becomes
blocked, with more and more processes piling up messages like:
Dec 2 10:20:22 helium kernel: [192960.871307] INFO: task reiserfs/1:1065
blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Dec 2 10:20:22 helium kernel: [192960.871316] "echo 0 >
/proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Once this happens the host becomes unresponsive to console input or ssh
connections, although it does continue to pass network traffic, at least
for a while. It eventually has to be force-rebooted.
This bug is similar to #494476. The effect of it is pretty severe, and
I'd greatly appreciate a solution.
Thanks,
Andrew.
