Interestingly enough , i had some nasty issues todays on same laptop.
I had 2 x 6 GB GELI vnodes, running mtree -K md5digest to compare

(but the mtree hadnt finished).
(swap is also GELI)

Any subsequent process trying to access the encrypted mount points
simply stalled for as long as I cared to wait (10 minutes). The
processes even stalled a shutdown -r.
I'm not sure if it's related, but I lately see this behaviour on
NFS mounts if the server is not responding.

Doing cd /mnt/mydeadnfsmount/[tab for autocompletion]
is enough to render the current console unresponsive.

Isn't that normal and desired for `hard' mounts?
