Hi,

I'm copying 6GB of data onto an NBD device using a simple tool which
differs from dd/cat in that it measures how long it takes to write each
block and does a sync after each block.
Now during that run I get:

[45480.665074] INFO: task measurecopy:13780 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[45480.665086] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
