=> As I was playing a DVD, the picture stopped and everything seemingly => froze. I was able to login from another machine and look, what's => happening. = =I see this regularly, both DVD-Video playback and reading of files off =data DVD. Workaround is to list directories and read files from the DVD, =it will unstuck blocked process too. Or, issue I'm not so much concerned about the DVD-playback (`cdcontrol reset' is my workaround), but for the possibility of a process getting into a state, where it can not be killed. NFS-related issues used to be like this, but, it seems, `umount -f' works now. =# atacontrol mode 1 udma33 xxx = =(in case your DVD unit is alone on secondary IDE channel)... Thanks, I'll try that too. Currently I just run while (1) cdcontrol reset sleep 1 end while the movie is playing :-( Yours, -mi
