I've had problems like that when the drive hardware itself is hanging
up and stops responding to commands.  Most often, it's triggered by
bad media.  I took enough of a look at it to see that there isn't much
the OS can do about it (however, -STABLE has had some recent
improvements -- within the last few months, anyway -- that reduce the
impact on other system functionality).  So for me, anyway, I've
written it off as a price of cheap hardware.
