Check the number of dirty pages:
grep Dirty /proc/meminfo
relative to the dirty_ratio setting:
cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
to see if the system is going into synhronous flush mode around that time
(especially if dirty_ratio is large and you have a lot of physical
memory). This is what I usually see as the cause of the "blocked for more
than" message. I've also found that it can be several minutes, and up to
20 minutes, before the system recovers (but recover it always does).
