Hi
I am running OpenBSD on a T2000 (Sparc64).
I was trying to use the serial port from the primary domain, connected
via
ssh, and my network lost the connection.
My tty00 is now locked:
jay# stty -f /dev/tty00
stty: /dev/tty00: Device busy
I do not want to reboot the primary, as the guests are running various
live
services. I cannot find evidence of a lock file in /dev/spool/lock.
Is there a way out of this predicament?
fstat(1) is your friend here.
Note that each tty has a corresponding cua device, they're both under
the
same lock.

I ran into this exact problem last year. It'll be in the list archives.
According to Theo (if I understood him correctly) it's partly due to the
way BSD serial ports have always worked, i.e. in a rather
under-specified manner.
Apparently the core tty(4) code around this particular symptom hasn't
really changed at all since OpenBSD forked.
My solution was to install Linux, sorry - I never did find a way around
the problem on OpenBSD.
