I have seen this too, while copying around 9 GB of data between disks,
mounted w/ softdep and using NEW_BUFQ_STRATEGY (dunno if these have
something to do).  The 'cp' process was stalled in uvn_fp1 status, as
seen from ddb.  The amount of data copied was around 5 GB only.

I just tried again w/o softdep and everything went fine...
