It's been a while since I last saw an unkillable process on -current, but here it is -- on 5.2-RELEASE. From ps(1): UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS MWCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 1042 14627 1 0 96 0 61216 49300 - W pa 4:34,22 ./mozilla-bin http://www.ex[...] and from top(1): PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 14627 mteterin 96 0 61216K 49300K WAIT 4:34 0.00% 0.00% mozilla-bin The ps(1) seems to indicate, ``The process is swapped out'', so here is my swap: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ad2b 524288 36 524252 0% /dev/md8 1572864 44 1572820 0% Total 2097152 80 2097072 0% (md8 is vnode-backed using the pagefile.sys on Windows partition, ad2 is a separate disk, used by FreeBSD entirely). The process has been in this state since Thursday, Jan 29th -- it seemed to have hung and I tried to kill it. Numerous ``kill'', ``kill -9'' were ineffective. Although xkill(1) helped me get rid of the window, the process still lives and accounted for another bit of CPU time: 1042 14627 1 0 76 0 61216 49276 - W pa 4:34,23 ./mozilla-bin http://www.extr[...] None of the directories used by this process according to fstat is nfs-backed. A freshly built lsof does not list ANY files as opened by the PID. An attempt to attach a debugger (gdb) to the process hangs. Any clues? Thanks! -mi
