>Description:
We use RAID controller Smart Array P400 (driver ciss)in our system.
Five hardware stripe arrays was combined into raidz (zfs).

#df -h
coolpool         6.7T    1.7T    5.0T    25%    /www

/www - used by proftpd and httpd daemons
System is working properly during some period of time(day-week), but processes which are accessing to the ZFS volume turn into "D  uninterruptible wait" state and hang on.

www      86576  0.0  0.5 121560 19556  ??  D     7:37AM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT
www      86577  0.0  0.5 121560 19556  ??  D     7:37AM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT
www      86578  0.0  0.5 121560 19556  ??  D     7:38AM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT

Any requests to the ZFS volume cause the process hang.
"Reboot"-command is executed normally up to the moment when the system produce "syncing disks" and hang also.

P.S. 7.0 - release is working in the same way.

>How-To-Repeat:
We don't know. Possible high disc load.
>Fix:
Hardware reset. O_o
