Hi, We are trying to kill a process that is "stuck", and we have found no way to kill it yet. We tried kill with many signals, including 'kill -9', and also removing forcedly the 'st' module on which this nasty tar is running. Any ideas? ------ 21586 ? D 0:14 tar tvf /dev/nst0 ------ cat /proc/21586/status Name: tar State: D (disk sleep) SleepAVG: 78% Tgid: 21586 Pid: 21586 PPid: 1 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 0 0 0 0 Gid: 0 0 0 0 FDSize: 256 Groups: 0 1 2 3 4 6 10 VmSize: 41376 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 508 kB VmData: 164 kB VmStk: 88 kB VmExe: 168 kB VmLib: 1272 kB VmPTE: 32 kB Threads: 1 SigQ: 6/27775 SigPnd: 0000000000040100 ShdPnd: 0000000000044107 SigBlk: 0000000000000000 SigIgn: 0000000000000000 SigCgt: 0000000000000000 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 00000000fffffeff CapEff: 00000000fffffeff Cpus_allowed: 3 Mems_allowed: 00000000,00000003 Cheers Gaspar
