There is no vfs.hammer.skip_redo sysctl.

3.8.2 stopped to work with the same symptoms. I installed 3.6 and it 
works fine with that hammer filesystem. I successfully back up my data 
and ready for some experiments with that FS.

At the moment there is 3.9 from yesterday master. I formatted that 
partition and tried to write-delete-write large amount of data there. 
And have exactly the same behaviour - system hangs. What information can 
I provide for debugging?
