It might be interesting to look at the following:
- Use sockstat/netstat to identify the fetch socket, and see whether
either the send of the receive queue contains some amount of persistent,
un-processed data. This would suggest if the application was stalling
and not reading, or that TCP was stalling and not sending.
- Use DDB to generate a stack trace of the fetch process in-kernel,
perhaps a few to see whether it's stuck in one place, and if so, where.
This would tell us what it's stuck doing.
- Use ktrace to generate a trace of fetch and "see what it's doing" when
it appears to hang -- is it looping waiting for I/O, just blocked in
kernel, etc.
