I have had another cp hung, with NIC disabled:-

killall -s SIGKILL cp     Doesn't kill the hung cp 

ps -uf  show the cp is in STATE  D  hence UNINTERRUPTIBLE SLEEP

So the only thing to do is restart though it will hang going down trying
to umount the CIF mount  held my the hung cp. 
Only thing then is to then hit the system reset and FORCE restart

Again how do you kill a  cp in UNINTERRUPTIBLE SLEEP !!!
