I am wondering if the timeout was causes because I completely overloaded the system causing it to be slow on ata handling times. I ran: stress-ng --all 64 -t 600 -v and the machine slowly clogged up with stress processes, and finally hit the hang. Had to reboot the system. Attached is a kernel log.
