Are you running with dedup enabled?
If the box is still responsive, try to generate a thread stack listing e.g:
echo "::threadlist -v" > mdb -k > /tmp/threads.txt

Happily, this morning, I saw that they were still running without problem and stopped them. Then, when asking vSphere to delete the VMs, all write I/O stalled. A bit too much irony for me :)
