Hi Holger,
if, as I guess, this problem hasn't gone away for you, I have two
requests:
1) could you share your exact test
2) if nothing happens in my systems with your test, would you be
willing to retry with the dev version of bfq? It should be able to
tell us what takes to your hang. If you are willing to do this test,
I'll prepare a branch with everything already configured for you.
Thanks,
Paolo
