I have a NetBSD 8.0 [1] machine that is hung in the middle of running /etc/daily (3 days of running /etc/daily backed up on top of each other, because none of the earlier ones finished). I believe the culprit are three processes like the following (this is the earliest of the three disklabel processes):
# ps -lp 4904 UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 0 4904 1 1968 127 0 9924 1160 tstile D ? 0:00.00 disklabel sd0 What can I do to troubleshoot the problem? What exactly does the 'tstile' mean? What can be done (short of a power reset) to unwedge this machine? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
