I was copying some files to a newly set up USB HD, and then

kill pid
is not killing them and they are taking up most of my cpu.
I have never seen 'kill' fail.
What can I do other than reboot?
kill -9
Do you mean:
kill -9 2200
where 2200 is the pid number I want dead?
exactly! This will the process without any regard to other linked
processes
Thanks I will know this for next time.
Bear in mind tht "kill -9" is a method of last resort. You're there of course,
but some people start with kill -9 - that is bad. Normal kill (kill -TERM, kill
-15) sends SIGTERM, which a process can catch allowing it to tidy up and then
exit cleanly. Always start with plain kill before kill -9.
