Hi Neil,

Thanks for the feedback.  I've stuck the sysrq-t output here:

http://buttersideup.com/files/md-raid1-lockup-lvm-snapshot/iodeadlock-sysrq-t.txt

... this was soon after the io to md2 stopped - md0 seems fine...

oldshoreham:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active raid1 sda6[0] sdb6[1]
      404600128 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      [>....................]  resync =  0.1% (437056/404600128)
finish=343321.2min speed=19K/sec


... I also tried an older Debian 5.0.x kernel from Mar 2009, which is a
less-patched 2.6.26, and got the same results.  2.6.32 hasn't deadlocked
after 10 minutes (2.6.26 usually does within a minute of boot-up), so
I'll leave it re-syncing overnight...

Cheers!

Tim.
