 We should probably close this PR now.
 
 The disk could have been failing -- one of the disks on that machine did
 eventually die.
 
 My main complaint at the time though was that processes would get stuck
 and become unkillable, so in part it wasn't specifically about the esp
 driver or the possibly dying device.
 
 If I understand correctly much of the underlying issues here have been
 worked on subsequently and improved too.
