I'm not sure what level of jfs is in that kernel, or whether a patch
might help.  I can look into it more tomorrow.

Thanks!




Does dmesg give you any clue as to a possible oops in jfs code?  You get
hanging threads when something crashes while it's holding a lock on the
object.

Already looked there--nothing in dmesg other than the normal bootup stuff.



You could edit /etc/fstab so that fsck does not run against that
partition when you reboot.  (Change the last column in the entry to
zero.)  Then mount it read-only (mount -oro) and try to copy the file.
This may still fail, but it may be worth a try.  If you recover the
file, then you can umount it and run fsck.

OK, I'll save that for a fallback.
