3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64 and sadly today the same on two
machines - the only thing i can say for sure that after
whatever happens in the background *any* write to disks
hangs forever

* woke up -> no music
* turn on screen, move the mouse, KDM login screen
* try to enter password
* see the first asterisk and followed input ignored
* move the mousepointer still works
* STRG+ALT+F3 -> thank god there is a active root session
* type "sync" -> no disk activity, no response
* well, power off hard
_____________________________________________

second machine in the office:

* KDM hangs
* login on TTY3 by luck possible
* dmesg -> only the usual lines about starting raid-check
  and delay the two other raid devices
* nothing else in dmesg or syslog
* also here: any write to disk stalls
