:Matt, I've tried your patch to sys/kern/vfs_bio.c, made no difference.
:Lowering the vfs.hidirtybuffers from 221 to 110 helps as before. The
:vfs.lodirtybuffers sysctl is gone for some reason.
Oh my. Maybe we have two problems here. Alfred had similar problems
and the patch fixed it right up.
Try running a 'top -S -s1' while you are running your test, with
my patch but without doing the sysctl's, and tell me what the various
programs block on when the problem occurs (buf_daemon and whatever
program is causing the hicup).
