Thanks to all who have answered me.

- If you use for example ps ax, I bet that the offending process will be

- kernel does not permit the process being killed before the interrupt
- comes. Which means that if the interrupt comes and the process is
- released, it will immediately face the pending kill -9. As far as I
- know, this can happen with eg.: tape devices which are the focus of
- nsrmmd.

- So, If it doesn't go away by itself, you will have to reboot the system.
- If it doesn't harm anyone, you can just leave it there. Maybe if you
- restart nsrd, it wont notice that this process hangs there. Maybe if you
- try to operate the tape station...
I knew that there was to wait but I didn't thought so much (one hour before
the process has died)
Thanks again
Bye
