Hi,

For whatever reason, I lost all of my disks at the same time (I guess a SAS
cable fell out; I'll know tomorrow). As was expected, I/O on the machine was
not so happy afterwards; what was not so expected, was the following output on
the serial console a minute or so after:

I'm reporting this primarily because it could cause problems in some other
context (say, when only one or two disks disappear); of course, for me in this
case, it wouldn't matter if I/O was "properly" rejected or the entire machine
hanged, it's useless anyway.
