Just check fstat for teh locked file and kill the process which is holding it.

Hi All: I have a multi-boot 3 unix box I'm toying with. I was using the Debian partition as my main work station for a while... till I broke it. I have some e-mails and addresses on that partition I would like to export to the other partitions, perhaps even create a permanent reference file to share system wide. The main problem I have, beside the fact that, in my lust for UNIX POWER, I keep breaking things:), is that the Evolution files in my mostly-dead Debian partition are locked and resist any attempt to move them. Any thoughts on gaining access to these files to copy or move them?
BTW I'm thinking of using Knoppix as my recovery tool, and the boot error on Debian is:
Enter runlevel 5 ID 1 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 2 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 3 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 4 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 5 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 6 respawning too fast; waite for five minute.
