Sorry I was not clear, I didn''t action this and I cant kill the
process. It seemed to start directly after running:

"FSTYPE=zfs /usr/lib64/lustre/tests/llmount.sh"

I have tried to kill it first with -2 upto -9 but the process will not budge.

Here is the top lines from perf top

37.39%  [osc]              [k] osc_set_info_async
 27.14%  [lov]              [k] lov_set_info_async
  4.13%  [kernel]           [k] kfree
  3.57%  [ptlrpc]           [k] ptlrpc_set_destroy
  3.14%  [kernel]           [k] mutex_unlock
  3.10%  [lustre]           [k] ll_wr_max_cached_mb
  3.00%  [kernel]           [k] mutex_lock
  2.82%  [ptlrpc]           [k] ptlrpc_prep_set
  2.52%  [kernel]           [k] __kmalloc

Thanks,
