Hi *, am I right in assuming that... 1. there's no way to get rid of an instance of tar (that's probably waiting for some IO to complete? 2. there's no way to umount a mount point held by such a process? [If so, I would be interested to hear about the design considerations that led to this! I guess that tar never returns from a syscall and can't react to the signal? Hasn't anybody tried to implement a workaround for this in all those years?] Thanks! walter -- The more aggressively you search for the most profound experience of your life, the more rigid, narrowing, dispiriting and routine it becomes. -- Matthew Klam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
