On my main Arch system some applications (especially ldconfig when running pacman, but now Firefox has begun to sometimes idly wait and so has nvim) just freeze for half a minute or so and are displayed by htop as having the "disk sleep" state.
It getting worse over time and me not having seen any issue like this elsewhere makes me believe that this might be a hardware issue (I've run this system for quite some time, including some disk intensive workloads), but I'm not entirely sure. (I don't have any data on there that isn't either properly backed up, elsewhere or just installed software, so I don't really fear any data loss either)
If anyone has any clue what exactly might be
