Red Hat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.20-28.8) with jfsutils 1.1.7
Mirrored drives using 3Ware controller

Every so often I get a hung mailbox file that ends up with many threads stuck 
on it.  In this case, 178 threads -- almost all belonging to the mailserver but 
also some ls and cp threads where I tried to save the mailbox.  Either of the 
aforementioned commands will hang a session and even after the session has been 
terminated (closing the SSH client.)

sync appears to work, returns a prompt afterwards.


Is there something in the utils that might save this file?  Rebooting seems to 
be the only way to unstick, and that deletes the hung .mbox file.

--thanks
