I upgraded to 6.0 and the problems completely disappeared. I kept 6.0-STABLE running for weeks. Somewhere along the line, as 6.1 approached, similar problems re-appeared, but not exactly the same as what I had in 5.x. Now instead of a complete system hang, individual processes will hang while attempting to access a certain filesystem. I'm running 6.1-PRERELEASE from April 2 and for some reason since this weekend it has happened more often, but I'm not sure why since I haven't made any system changes since April 2. I also am using quotas heavily with this system, and snapshoting every filesystem once a day. The filesystem which processes will hang on when attempting to access it happens to be the one with quotas enabled. I'm going to update to the latest 6.1 code this evening and enable INVARIANTS, WITNESS, and the two DEBUG_LOCKS options to the kernel to see if it catches anything.
