I used DVD::RIP to rip one of my DVD's when it suddenly stopped responding (during rip phase). I found that tccat was the offending task and tried to kill it with no luck. After a couple of hours reading I find my self standing with a process in lockstate that doesn't listening to signals (no kill-9 is working). ps -aux gives: PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND 2188 0.0 0.4 6352 2272 p0 DL 12:08PM 0:02.01 tccat -t dvd -T 3,-1,1 -i /cdrom I tried shutdown -r now and it sent the "*** FINAL SHUTDWON" message, but nothing else is happening. To be honest, I have actually got my rock-steady, super-duper, awsome freeBSD system to hang. That's cool in some way (took 2,5 years though). The not so cool thing is that my hardware RAID5 system doesn't like too much to be powered down in opposite to system down. So it would be very very nice if someone could hint me in any steps that I can try to get rid of the lock. ( I did a powerdown earlier before I was so enlighted as I am now and it gave me some headache carrying the 22Kg server to a monitor and running fsck in init 3 mode.... on a 800GB file system Don't want to go there again....) Btw, it's the DVD-rom device that's errenous.
