One of my favorite near infinite hangs is a giant process that decides to core dump across NFS. I don't know if it is still the case, but once upon a time when linux started writing a core file, it would never stop for any reason till it was done. When you do the math and find that it will take several days to finish the core dump across the NFS link, pulling the plug on the machine becomes the best option :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
