Thanks.
The original poster reported a hung-task dump...
When you say "hard locked" - can you still access from another
window/login, or is it totally forzen?
If former, are then any processes in D start?  maybe mdXX-raid5?
Can you get /proc/$PID/stack of that process?

If totally frozen - do you have a console?  Can you alt-sysrq-W ??

Or have you since rebooted and the problem isn't repeatable?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
