Of course not. Basicly, if kill -9 doesn't remove the process, it is wedged on some kernel level resource. When that comes good the process will exit but not before. Does "lsof -p 25618" (adjust for whatever PID) tell you anything useful about the hung process? Is the tape drive ok? Does the command "strace -p 25618" (again, adjust) tell you what function call is in progress, and what it is accessing? Probably the tape drive, but check out the system call file descriptor against those shown by lsof. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ I will not compromise, just to look good in your eyes. - Falling Joys -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
