I ran into a weird one, have a 9.1 test system (virtual in VMWare
Workstation 9) that I left running logged into the console with top
running. The console the top process it was running appear to have
hung, can't use ALT + F1,F2... to switch virtual consoles. However I
can log in to the system via ssh, if you run top you get the same
information on the console, can even interact with it, switching search
order and the like. systat also seems to not display current
information. I can do everything I have tried through the console
except I noticed that syslog isn't writing data and a /etc/rc.d/syslog
restart hung as well.
This is just a test system running one single Java program (Ubiquiti
UniFi controller software) that is responding just fine as well.
Thought maybe it was disk access related, however I have confirmed that
I can read and write to the disk, used dd if=/dev/random
of=/.../random.out..., to each file system and was able to write to all
of them. Before I reboot the system (I have a feeling it won't reboot
cleanly), I was curious if anyone else has ever seen this and what I
should check to possibly identify what caused the problem.
