I currently have a "runaway" process on my linux server.  I was writing to my
Zip disk (which was mounted by automount) and it just stopped taking the
writes.  The disk light is on and I think I can hear it spinning, but my log
file is getting messags about the SCSI subsystem aborting due to timeout.

I cannot kill the rpocess because it is waiting on disk activity.

It is also pulling down teh performance of my server in a severe way.  I'd
like to find a way to fix this w/o having to disturb my uptime.  Does anyone
know of a way to tell the scsi subsystem to give up and just return a failure
to the rsync process?

Thanks!

-Michael
