If this has been discussed before, please point it out. I've done some
searching and can not quite come up with the solution other than to reboot
the server. I'm hoping a reboot can be avoided.
I recently attempted to run sysinstall to install something that was not
listed in the ports collection. Sysinstall is still running in the back
ground as a result of my ssh session getting terminated. Now, I can not
kill sysinstall. I found some things on the web that pointed out there may
be a parent that is keeping the child thread alive. That parent has been
killed off and I still can not kill sysinstall.
I am noticing some things in the messages log that may be as a direct
result of sysinstall still running. I am getting the following two lines
logged all the time:
Jul 9 16:51:16 cgate kernel: acd0: req=0xc3833640 TEST_UNIT_READY
semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!
Jul 9 16:51:17 cgate kernel: acd0: req=0xc38324b0 SETFEATURES SET
TRANSFER MODE semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!
I know acd0 has something to do with the cdrom drive. That is the only
thing being complained about within the logs as far as hardware goes. No
other file systems are having issues.
Can someone shed some light on what is going on?
