The same problem exists for me since October 5th ...
I had sent a message on this topic some 10 days ago.

There are lot's of "biodone: buffer already done" messages on the
console, and the system hangs after some time (and is unable to 
unmount the file systems, if I try to reboot in time).

(I had reported, that a "tail" of some file on a NFS mounted file
system hung in a kernel wait, while a "cat" of the same file did
work just fine on another virtual console ...)

I'm running -current on my development system, and have not tried
-stable.
