I finally caught this happening while I had "lockstat sleep 1" running in a loop, the output looks like:

And top looks like this:

Also noticed that there are actually 2 threads of pid 17 [zfskern{txg_thread_enter}] which are reporting 57% and 42% of disk IO, everything else is idle as far as IO. The system is not totally unresponsive, processes that don't need IO are working, but anything that needs IO hangs. Perhaps it's a hardware issue, but I can't find any other evidence of it. Any ideas?

Hi,

Recently on multiple systems running CURRENT, I've been seeing the system become unresponsive. Leaving top(1) running has lead me to notice that when this happens, the system is still responding to ping and top over ssh is still working, but no new processes can start and switching to other tasks doesn't work. In top, I do see pid 17, [zfskern{txg_thread_enter}] monopolizing both CPU usage and disk IO. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? It doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
