We have the same problem on a HP ML110 G5 Server with Xeon Quadcore Processor
and two SATA Disks in RAID1, it is also dovecot that has shown unkillable
processes, especially when the imap client is closed. The system degrades from
the point where they appear until disk accesses seem to hang, xosview shows all
cores in 100% wait states, the system still reponds to pings and the dhcp
server even is able to write to syslog, but everything else seems to be waiting
for the disks. At that point the console is usually black and won't react to
Ctrl-Alt-Del, but Alt-Printscreen-b boots. Disabling the irq_balancer seems to
make the hangs happen less often. We have not tried using some other kernel
yet.
