Hi Jeremy,

This is not hardware problem, I've already checked that. I also ran fsck 
today and got no errors.

After some more exploration of how mongodb works, I found that then 
listing hangs, one of mongodb thread is in "biowr" state for a long 
time. It periodically calls msync(MS_SYNC) accordingly to ktrace out.

If I'll remove msync() calls from mongodb, how often data will be sync 
by OS?
