Hi Max, I re-ran the cp command and when it hanged I ran 'ps -el' looked up the cp command, got it's PID and then ran:
# truss -p PID_of_cp and it output nothing at all -- i.e. it hanged too -- just showing a flashing cursor. The system is still operational as I am typing into the browser. Before I ran the cp command I did a 'tail -f /var/adm/messages' and there is no output. I also did a 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and there is also no output. If I try 'kill -15 PID_of_cp' and then 'ps -el' cp is still running. And if I try 'kill -9 PID_of_cp' and then 'ps -el' cp is still running. What next ? For what it's worth, here is further output from iostat, the first line looks interesting, but it appears to be buffered, as it's the same each time I run it -- possibly the last info from cp before it died??? (see below) So, any ideas what I can do next? Just going to reboot to kill the hanging cp -- wow, this is like Windows now :( (attempt to keep humor) bash-3.2$ iostat -xce 1 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 21.4 2.7 191.4 32.4 0.4 0.1 20.8 3 5 0 0 0 0 4 2 0 94 sd0 9.9 12.6 1193.8 1478.2 11.0 0.0 489.0 32 4 0 0 0 0 sd1 7.5 12.6 836.2 1479.1 10.9 0.0 543.7 32 4 0 0 0 0 sd2 7.7 12.6 877.1 1479.4 10.9 0.0 537.1 32 4 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 98 sd0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 98 sd0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 98 sd0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 98 sd0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 extended device statistics ---- errors --- cpu device r/s w/s kr/s kw/s wait actv svc_t %w %b s/w h/w trn tot us sy wt id cmdk0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 0 96 sd0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 35.0 0.0 0.0 100 0 0 0 0 0 sd3 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 5 0 5 ^C bash-3.2$ and I just saw this: (seems to be from yesterday -- I don't know if it's relevant to this though ??) # fmdump -e TIME CLASS Apr 30 01:12:14.9802 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9896 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9896 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9896 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9896 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9896 ereport.fs.zfs.data Apr 30 01:12:14.9802 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9802 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9802 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:14.9802 ereport.fs.zfs.data Apr 30 01:12:21.1130 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.1130 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.1130 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.1130 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.1130 ereport.fs.zfs.data Apr 30 01:12:21.5217 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.5217 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.5217 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.5217 ereport.fs.zfs.checksum Apr 30 01:12:21.5217 ereport.fs.zfs.data # This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
