welcome to the wonderful world of NFS. how about you reconnect the
windows just long enough for NFS to recover so you can kill the
process, then detach it again?
other than that, you should look into the various NFS mount options.
the default settings in most systems are absurd. i recommend you look
into at least: soft,intr,bg,nfsvers=3,tcp,timeo=30.
these wont help you with your immediate problem, but may help prevent
similar problems in the future.
Hi,
I have a problem this morning.
I created a perl script to make a backup copy of some files. The
destination was a remote server (win2k) using a NFS mount. The win2k
server has fallen over during the process and I can't terminate the
backup script that was run via cron.
If I df, my terminal freezes. lsof never returns. kill -9 doesn't do
anything and I tried to kill -9 the parent, crond. The parent is now
inetd. It doesn't show in ipcs -a.
I can't do a reboot the linux box until much later tonight when
everyone is off and I can't put the windows box on the network as it
will fall over again if the above process is still running.
Does anyone know how I can stop this process?
Thanx.
Dp.
