I've seen a very similar (most likely the same root cause) problem.  I
think the key is the high load, low CPU, and extreme unresponsiveness.
My guess is that the system is waiting for disk resources, and queueing
up on the CPU.   Any suggestions on what information to gather to test
that hypothesis would be appreciated.

I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu 8.10, 2.6.27-17-generic, reiserfs with
software raid 1.  My box exports file system mounts through both NFS and
Samba.

The next time it happens, I'll try (if I can get it to respond) to
gather more info.
