Hey Joel, Nice analysis in your blog. We run into this from time-to-time at Joyent. We keep hitting up engineers at Sun about it. To date there is no way to kill these processes. If you run something like "pstack" and get the errors that you saw "unanticipated system error", your hosed. All you can practically do is reboot. Obviously, if the process hasn't got resources locked up, just treat it like a zombie and leave it alone, but often in our cases it has still engaged resources and causes problems. Just try to learn as much as you can about why it might have happened (as you did) and try to do whats possible to avoid it in the future. benr. _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
