mount of ext2fs volume stuck in "D+" state (disk uninterruptible wait)
I just tried (under FreeBSD 7.0-RC1) to mount an ext2fs volume - I've mounted it before with no trouble on this same FreeBSD version. This time, mount appeared to hang. I noticed that I can see the contents of the volume under the mount point, so the mount seemed to "work", but the process is stuff. "ps" shows: root 1307 0.0 0.0 3156 792 p6 D+ 5:21PM 0:00.00 mount /mnt/linux-home The "ps" man page says that "D" means: "Marks a process in disk (or other short term, uninterruptible) wait." Is there any way I can investigate what is going on? I cannot umount (device busy) or break out of the mount command... Thanks, Joe
