Does anyone know of a way to delete unlinked files that are being held open by a zombie process? I've got a production server that can't be restarted this week, but I've got about 100MB of tmpfs being tied up by a zombie UML process.
lsof shows the file, process, and (presumably) the inode, but since the file has been unlinked, there's nothing obvious to access. Since I can't kill the zombie, how can I reclaim that RAM? Is there any way to forcibly release an inode? Or a way to reparent a zombie to init so it can be reaped? -- Find my Techno-Geek Journal at http://www.codegnome.org/geeklog/ _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
