I initially missed your message among the plethora of opinions on the 
proper use of this list.

I consulted my kernel expert and he suggested you try to examine the 
syslog about 2-3 minutes before the first entry you posted.  It appears 
you're using JFS and it seems that a JFS write by mythbackend was 
blocked, possibly because some other process had a lock on the 
filesystem.  The first message shows that mythbackend had already been 
blocked for 2 minutes, so you might find a clue as to the problem 2-3 
minutes before this message.
