You could use 'ps' command from DDB to which processes are alseep.
Then you can run 'tr <PID>' where <PID> is PID of sleeping process.
Look for processes related somehow to this problem.
It'll be also great if you can provide exact procedure which will also
me to reproduce this problem.
PS. If you plan to upgrade your machine, remember than naming has changed
in gstripe from /dev/<name>.stripe to /dev/stripe/<name>.
