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).
i have found this behaviour myself ... and not using remote file systems
... some things do just ... it seems ... die ... and the kernel cant rid
itself of them ... win4lin modules are a classic case of this ...
