FreeBSD 7: I have a mount_nfs process that refuses to get killed : # ps -jaxw | grep mount root 60342 1 60289 60289 0 D ?? 0:00.00 mount_nfs fenix.cmi.ua.ac.be:/opt /home/nfs/fenix/opt This was called from a script, run bij root cron during the night (does an NFS mount of a file system of a remote system and makes a backup) I killed the parent processes: the shell executing the script, the script, the mount process that calls mount_nfs, leaving me with that last remaining process: # kill -9 60342 doesn't do anything # kill -9 -60289 (60289 is the PGID, see man kill) doesn't do anything either How to I get this process killed?
