I just had perhaps the third occurrence of this problem.
I tried to shut down gthumb which was displaying a a photo from the
nfs server. It would not shut down, at least not in a reasonable
amount if time. Gkrellm showed cup1 running at max. and top indicated
the cup at 99.5%. Something did eventually time out but that did not
calm the cup activity.: .
3487 bobg 20 0 2928 1068 932 R 99.5 0.0 445:55.55

Kill 3487 does not stop it. In fact nothing seems to. I told it to
poweroff and it got as far as "halting system" and stayed there until
I pressed the power button for five seconds or so.
This happened once last night and it sat there saying it was busy,
the power button was required to kill it then too.
I don't expect anyone to troubleshoot the problem but would like to
know what other commands I might try to restore things without
shutting down and rebooting.
This is an F-10 system pretty much up to date, certainly all security
updates and perhaps all the rest, I've lost track at the moment. I
suspect the problem is related to some horse photo files from my
daughters Mac. But I need a way to stop things when this happens ...
Any help appreciated.

Try "soft" option on the nfs mount in case the root cause is a problem
with the nfs access to the image file.
Ok, I will try that. If I understand the soft option goes in the
client /etc/fstab? It can also be assigned a time value?
Thanks.
Bob
