All of the processes waiting for I/O are waiting for a directory
block. This makes me suspicious that perhaps an interrupt or I/O
request got lost.
Is this a repeatable failure, and is the stack traces always the same?
If so, you might want to try running badblocks on the device and make
sure that hardware issues have been ruled out.
