Hi ALL kill -9 doesnot work
Its probably stuck in a system call and is waiting for the kernel to complete an operation. This is often because of a remote file system that is misbehaving/down and the kernel is waiting for a response it is never going to get. if you run df and that hangs, its definately a remote file system. cat /etc/mtab to see which file system it is (usually the next fs after the last one df displayed).
