Hello, On FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE I have a job in my root crontab that is executed every night:
5 0 * * * /usr/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -aug; /usr/sbin/quotaon -a; Today I've found out that two quotaon processes stucked in 'syncer' state in top ('D' state in ps). No quotaon/quotaoff can be started now: # /usr/sbin/quotaoff -a quotaoff: /home: Operation already in progress quotaoff: /home: Operation already in progress And these processes can not be killed. Here is ps/top output: # ps auwwx | grep 'quot[a]' root 2462 0.0 0.0 4608 912 ?? D Thu12AM 0:00.03 /usr/sbin/quotaon -a root 60450 0.0 0.0 4608 928 ?? D Fri12AM 0:00.04 /usr/sbin/quotaon -a # top -b -Uroot 100500 | grep quota 60450 root 1 -4 0 4608K 928K syncer 4 0:00 0.00% quotaon 2462 root 1 -4 0 4608K 912K syncer 5 0:00 0.00% quotaon Is there any way to finish these stucked processes without reboot? -- // cronfy _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
