It turns out that when the vmware host san is being heavily (importing
vm's, multiple back-up jobs) used this error pops up in the freebsd guest.
It is (just) a timeout error, but still this should not happen.
I have been looking at the sysctl variables for vfs if it is possible to
increase the timeout value, but i do not see a setting that could
accomplish this, also this would not be the right solution i guess.
The only right solution would for the vmware host admin to tune the san
settings (or the specific lun) or to spread the load more evenly.
