Hi folks,

on huge disk IO operations I get something like this from time
to time:

[ 6220.508495] INFO: task jbd2/sdb3-8:1616 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 6220.540831] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Is the timeout of 120 seconds still reasonable? Should I simply switch
off the message, as suggested?
