Thanks for the testing it out Gui. I will run this test case on my machine
and see if I can reproduce this issue on my box and try to fix it.

Is your box completely hung or IO scheduler don't seem to be doing
anything. Can you try to swith the io scheduler to something else (after
it appears to be hung), and see if switch is successful and new scheduler
starts working?

Thanks
Vivek
