What does your storage stack look like? Something in the stack froze
up. It could be your SAN storage device, if you're using one, the switch
connecting to the SAN, if you're using one, the RAID card, if you're
using one, the software RAID, if you're using software RAID ...
A reasonable next step if there is nothing in the logs because are on
the root device might be to use rsyslog to send the log data to a
neighboring machine. That would you can see the messages in the log no
matter which local storage has a problem.
