I'm having an occasional problem with a box. It's a Supermicro 16-core
Xeon, running CentOS 6.3 with kernel 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64, 96 gigs of
RAM, and an Areca 1882ix-24 RAID controller with 24 disks, 23 in RAID6
plus a hot spare. The RAID is divided into 3 partitions, two of 25 TB
plus one for the rest.
Lately, I've noticed sporadic hangs on writing to the RAID, which
"resolve" themselves with the following message in dmesg:
INFO: task jbd2/sdb2-8:3607 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

I get two of these messages in close succession, then things proceed
normally. It doesn't happen often, and only under load. I'm uncertain,
but think it might just happen once per boot, once it's happened, it
doesn't repeat until rebooting. I'm not sure of this, however.
Things otherwise seem fine, other logs, RAID controller event logs, RAID
controller physical disk status and health reports are normal, etc.
After getting this error once, attempting to re-write the exact same
file on the filesystem gets no errors and works normally, so I doubt
it's a physical thing with the drives anyway.
Anyone seen anything like this before? It's not very frequent, but it's
very annoying.
