By the way, I would not classify this behavior I'm seeing as a performance issue. There are hundreds of I/Os per second on each disk, and most of them are being submitted right away. But a subset of those I/Os are getting delayed for 10 minutes - if not over an hour - which is a huge disparity. The effect this can have on applications could be significant, if not critical. Some of the I/Os are taking at least 3 orders of magnitude longer than the rest. And since no timeouts are in place at this stage, I wonder if any other test frameworks even notice it. You could be hitting this in your test cases but are not aware. Consider what would happen in a database server if the rollback segment I/Os were getting delayed like this.

Some things to think about.
