Does this look familiar with anybody? ("truss -dD ls -l something")

(The longest I've seen was more than 5 minutes)

There is otherwise nothing wrong with the machine, only I am running
a postgres table merge for some 10 mio. rows. And only during that the
effect happens, reproducibly.

The concerned disk is a mirror of two consumer SATA-SSD.

"gstat -pod" doesn't look bad, 1-2 items in the queue.

zfs says it knows nothing of these delays, it just shows two
consumer SSD usually busy with their own garbage collection:

So where does it happen? (13.1-RELEASE-p5)

The root, /usr and /var are on ufs, on the same(!) disk (unmirrored),
and have no problem.

The next 100-some filesystems are on the "im" pool, and there is the
problem, so it is somehow related to ZFS. (The above truss output
was in a jail, which is on the ZFS.)

I had other things saturating these disks, with no such effect. It
seems postgres does something different here.

It does also not really look like a congestion problem, because I
can have two or three tasks get stuck in this (and all of them will),
and they continue at very much different times. Looks rather like
some lock wait thing.

Any clues, anybody?
