Great tips, Ruben! `strace` requires /proc and I am too lazay to mount `procfs` after installing `strace` ports. (In fact I installed `strace` then did nothing.)

cannot kill process with kill -9
FreeBSD 7: I have a mount_nfs process that refuses to get killed : # ps -jaxw | grep mount root 60342 1 60289 602890 D ??0:00.00 mount_nfs fenix.cmi.ua.ac.be:/opt /home/nfs/fenix/opt This was called from a script, run bij root cron during the night (does an NFS mount of a file system of a remote system and makes a backup) I killed the parent processes: the shell executing the script, the script, the mount process that calls mount_nfs, leaving me with that last remaining process: # kill -9 60342 doesn't do anything # kill -9 -60289 (60289 is the PGID, see man kill) doesn't do anything either How to I get this process killed? ___ 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

You can't kill a process with a D flag. Google for uninterruptible sleep There is a rare exception that doesn't always work. But you can find processes that have locked onto that mount point and kill those. Then try unmounting or killing that NFS mount. Get lsof in /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof and see what's keeping that mount point open. Then kill those processes. But again, this may not work. The only way to release processes marked with a D flag is to reboot. -- Jacques Manukyan ___ 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
Re: cannot kill process with kill -9
You might also find a little bit information about what the process is waiting on by attaching to it with strace (in ports under devel) (strace -p PID).
