Error description
On AIX 6.1 TL5 and later TLs a JFS2 filesystem may hang, causing all commands accessing that filesystem to hang and to be unkillable. The only way to recover is to reboot the system. The dump will show a thread waiting in bmAssign: [000D50D0]e_block_thread+000290 () [000D5D28]e_sleep_thread+0000E8 (??, ??, ??) [00260B38]bmAssign+000778 (??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??)
