Hmm... Seems to be different issues. The problem I have received was a pgsql server (no nullfs/unionfs involved), and the hang always happen when it is not being heavily loaded (usually in the morning, for instance, and there is no special configuration, like scheduled tasks which can generate disk load, etc., only the entropy harvesting), so this is quite confusing.
