I have a 2.2.5 system running on a Compaq Proliant(?) 486/66 server that has been up 45 days now (and counting), and just experienced a problem I haven't had before with it. I mounted a DOS formatted floppy to backup the only important data on the machine (the bind databases) and things went awry. I tarred up the stuff, threw it on a floppy, did an ls to see what else was there, and ls hung before showing me anything. Switching to a second term, i type mount, it hangs. I try to umount -f the mountpoint, and it hangs, too. ps shows that it is in an uninterruptible disk wait, so trying to kill the processes doesn't do much good. I've had this happen before on my system at home, and I just rebooted to fix it. I really don't want to reboot this box unless I have to. :-) USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root 13982 0.0 1.1 168 516 v0 D+ 3:29PM 0:00.07 colorls -G -k -F /dos/a root 13993 0.0 0.1 204 56 v1 D+ 3:30PM 0:00.02 mount root 14020 0.0 0.2 280 68 v2 D+ 3:31PM 0:00.08 umount -f /dos/a Is there ANY way I can remedy this without rebooting the machine, or even just free up my terminals? -- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@inter-linc.net --- cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
