Thanks for that Mike, been having some problems on a core box here where
it would just hang for periods of time during which disk IO would drop
to nothing and then it would just suddenly recover. We suspect one of
the disks is at fault but as with you said disk hasnt failed so we
where just going on the decreased smart values.
Confirmation that you had a disk failure soon after is really helpful :)

Looks like your trying to load an em module when its already compiled
into the kernel here, so you many running the driver you think you are ;-)
Thanks again.
