FreeBSD 7:
I have a mount_nfs process that refuses to get killed :
# ps -jaxw | grep mount
root 60342 1 60289 60289 0 D ?? 0:00.00 mount_nfs
fenix.cmi.ua.ac.be:/opt /home/nfs/fenix/opt
This was called from a script, run bij root cron during the night
(does an NFS mount of a file system of a remote system and makes a backup)
I killed the parent processes: the shell executing the script, the script,
the mount process that calls mount_nfs, leaving me with that last
remaining process:
# kill -9 60342 doesn't do anything
# kill -9 -60289 (60289 is the PGID, see man kill)
doesn't do anything either
How to I get this process killed?
