>Description:
Under heavy network and disk load, the machine locks up (or at
least any process that wants some pages gets stuck in vmwait).

ddb reveals many processes in "vmwait" with others (including
the pagedaemon() in "inode" wait.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have two fxp fastethernets each receiving about 15k 512-byte pkts/sec.
The above data (~15MB/sec) is all being written to a ccd partition
striped across three disks.
Several processes are also reading the above data.
