I have a simple test program that opens a block device, writes a bunch of data to it, \
and then calls close. The process appears to hang in the call to close. Output from \
the ps command shows the process has gone into the uninterruptible IO state and the \
systems cpu usage goes to zero. The process stays this way until the system is \
rebooted. 

Any ideas whats going on here?

Please CC me personally with any replies.
thanks
tim
