After typing "truss -f fsck -p /", I see nothing. I press ^Z
and type kill -9 % (killing truss).
I now have these fine processes hanging dead in memory, they are immune
to kill -9 and don't respond to kill -CONT either, ps axl:
UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS MWCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
0 56974 1 0 8 0 1256 744 ppwait D p1 0:00.00 fsck -p /
0 56975 56974 0 8 0 1256 744 stopev DV p1 0:00.00 fsck -p /
Is this how things are supposed to be, even though killing a tracer is
way stupid? I think it's not nice to have unkillable processes.
Is there a way to get rid of these without reboot?
Is there anything I can do to help debug this?
The software is quite current, half a day maybe.
