jfs appears to be waiting for journal I/O to complete.  This could be a
problem a with the 3ware driver.  It looks like support for that
controller is new in the 2.6.19 kernel.  It could be a bug in the jfs
code, but that code has been stable for a while, and I don't know of any
similar problems being reported.

Are there any errors in the syslog?  If not, "echo t
> /proc/sysrq-trigger" will print a stack trace of all your running
processes to the syslog.  I can take a look at that.
