[BlueOnyx:04612] Note CentOS-5.5 has a new feature

[Gerald Waugh]

FYI hung_task_timeout_secs
This feature is not in earlier versions of CentOS

We had some servers timeout, default is 120 seconds.
It writes a trace to the screen, but other than that the server is
running fine. The phenomena occurs when the drives are mirroring
Among the data written to the screen is, a method to disable the
timeout.

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
