It is probably not killable because it is probably stuck in the kernel waiting for IO for some reason. Could you please examine dmsg to see if there is anything useful there. Perhaps it is trying to access an nfs partition that is unavailable, or some hardware that has errors. If you run the same command on the command line, possibly through strace, it might shed some light on just where in the filesystem it is getting stuck. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
