Does ne1 knows what the inode state of a process mean or where I can find info about them? I have some perl programs running from a cron table, every 10 minutes. I cannot detect when they cannot write to the filesystem. When that happens, a single ls to the implied partition freezes, and the process using that partition are unkillable (all of them are at inode state). I have to reboot the machine. This machine had more than a year of uptime. The operating system version is 4.4-STABLE. Any help...please. -- There's a daemon locked up on your PC... Unleash it with FreeBSD!
