Dear colleagues,
What to do when a process involving files on NFS
becomes UNINTERRUPTIBLE becouse the serving NFS machine has
become down ?
I'm using automount .
It happens that the process is not killable (kill -9 by root)
becouse (I presume) it waits for NFS resources that will never come
(the serving NFS machine is down).
The whole machine is very slow now, but I can't umount the
dead NSF because the mount point is busy (the uninterruptible process
lives there) nor I can kill the process.
I only have to shutdown the machine !!
Is there a better way ?
Please tell me wich.
Greetings from Italy
