So, I was copying a file from my watch (a USB memory watch), and the process 
hung.  lsof shows me the to and from files still open, which means I can't 
unmount the drive properly (yes, I could just disconnect the USB, but that's 
not the point).  But a `kill -s 9 <process id>` of the cp process doesn't 
touch it.  Even as root I can't kill it.  Now, I have another process (a mv 
of about 20 files, from one partition to another, not involving the watch 
drive) that died and it can't be killed either.  Yes, I can reboot my 
machine, but is there something that would work other than that to kill off 
these mostly dead processes?
