hello, one of my colleague has a problem with an application. the sysadmins, responsible for that server told him that it was the applications fault, but i think they are wrong, and so does he. from time to time, the app gets unkillable and when trying to list the contents of some dir which is being read/written by the app, "ls" can list the contents, but "ls -l" gets stuck and simply hangs. cp,rm,mv on some file in that dir doesn`t work either. i think this is a solaris/kernel/zfs problem. can somebody g...

I'm using an html filter (ala junkbusters) called Proxomitron (proxomitron.cjb.com) through wine. I find that this program works great, except that it leaves a trail of unkillable wine.bin jobs whenever it retrieves a web page. Going to a page like slashdot results in ~8 wine.bin jobs that will never die, and can't be killed. (I am using wine from CVS as of 3/12/02 or so) Thinking that I'd be a good samaritan (and try to learn something about debugging), I...

Hello, I am having a problem with my dovecot-daemon. It is forking one or more (I saw up to perhaps 8 of them) imap processes under my user name. These processes are consuming a lot of CPU time and are not killable: > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > 8616 arno 20 0 2900 1600 1204 R 98 0.2 1196:38 imap Stopping dovecot does not quit these

Hi, Not sure if this is relevant but having been running dovecot 1.1.4 for a long time (without any problem) I recently upgraded to 1.1.7 when I switched to SuSE 11.1 This is just running on my home server and it's a fairly standard fetchmail-procmail-dovecot setup. However I recently had an incident which I cannot quite explain. I suspect it could be a possible disk problem but I did

I just came across this problem (on Linux, using OpenSSH 2.9.9p2). Run ssh <host> "tail -f <file> | grep <regexp>" Let it connect, and then hit ^C. If you look on <host>, the tail process has been orphaned, but grep, which was its parent, and a direct child of sshd, is gone. It appears that the immediate child of the sshd (grep) is sent a SIGTERM (on line

...llation of Office2000 and then deleting it. It almost reached the end of the deletion when the processor utilisation went up to 90%. The client connection then dropped with a 'connection is no longer available' and there is now 99% processor utilisation on the server. This process is now unkillable. Do you think this is a kernel (2.2.19) issue or a Samba issue (2.2.2) ? You said if a process becomes unkillable then it is a kernel issue - perhaps it is the kernel not handling the SMBD correctly ? I'll build another machine with 2.4 and see if I can replicate the problem again. Noel...

Okay, so with complete lack of any other ideas, I tried to figure out what was wrong with my app (Proxomitron), which is leaving unkillable processes around. So I went into ExitThread, and added something like: DPRINTF("%08lx:Exiting thread...(%d)\n", GetCurrentThreadId(),getpid()); exit(code); right at the top of the function. And, lo and behold, the processId matches the processes that 'ps' can't...

It's questionable use case, but weston/wayland already relies on this behaviour, and other drivers don't care about it, so it's a matter of compatibility. Without it, process invoking such page flip hangs in unkillable state, trying to reserve the same buffer twice.

...stem from my desktop Windows box (which is right next to it; there's a D-Link in the way, though) and passing large amounts of data to it (backups). If the connection to the windows box drops while this large cp is running, i.e. due to the Windows box rebooting or being shut down, the cp hangs unkillably. From that point on, many other processes end up in the same state (mutt, man and vi/vim, for example, but not cat) regardless of whether they are going anywhere near the smbfs mount *or* the partition the data was coming from. umount will work on neither the smbfs mount or the partition th...

My zfs filesystem hangs when transferring large filesystems (>500GB) with a couple dozen snapshots between servers using zfs send/receive with netcat. The transfer hangs about halfway through and is unkillable, freezing all IO to the filesystem, requiring a hard reboot. I have attempted this three times and failed every time. On the destination server I use: nc -l -p 8023 | zfs receive -vd sas On the source server I use: zfs send -vR promise1/rbackup at daily.1 | nc mothra 8023 The filesystems on...

...it through various data processors (eg dump raw data to disk, FFT, winds, etc..). The actual forking of processes is handled in Tcl and the C code only gets involved to write the data out (to an FD the Tcl layer keeps). The problem is that every now and then the process gets stuck and becomes unkillable just after forking, ie.. eureka:~>ps -axwwwwl | grep Reco 19999 881 1 12 -8 -5 21716 15984 piperd I<s ?? 128:50.79 /usr/home/radar/skiymet/libexec/Recorder /usr/home/radar/skiymet/libexec/acquisition/sks.tcl /usr/home/radar/skiymet/etc/ud3 19999 80154 881 12 92 -5 21716...

...ndows machine, and you try to access a cifs mount, the entire session locks up. I basically have to kill the session, log back on, and then there is no way to kill the process as it is showing a 'D' for 'waiting for I/O. There have been times on various linux servers where I had so many unkillable cifs processes that I then could not even do a reboot or shutdown of the system. I have had to physically hold the power down to halt the computer. My question is whether this in any way relates to Samba itself on the system. I see various revisions of the whole Samba suite, but I believe thes...

....2.2 with acl-0.7.16 on RedHat 6.2 (2.2.19). The PDC is a Windows 2000 Server and the Samba server is a domain member using Winbind. All the workstations are Windoze 2000 Pro with SP2. Everything seemingly works fine but every day or two I get a runaway SMBD process which hogs the CPU and becomes unkillable. The only resolution is to reboot the server completely. This has occurred at least once when a workstation crashed but we have not proven that this is always the case. I was rather hoping that it was a Windoze problem to do with not having SP2 installed but this has now been disproved. Thi...

...(PTRACE_SYSCALL, ...): Operation not permitted detach: ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, ...): Operation not permitted [root at server /]# This isn't normal right? After doing this, dovecot stops working and I need to restart the daemon in order to establish new connections. That [imap] process becomes unkillable, even kill -9 wont work. Unkillable process usually means kernel bug, right? warren 20345 1 7 01:46 ? 00:00:34 [imap] This is kernel-2.4.20-9 in Red Hat Linux 9. Is dovecot exposing a Red Hat kernel bug when I try to strace that process, or is strace supposed to fail, the dove...

Hello. I believe that I've done my due diligence in researching what info. is currently available on this issue. I have been jacking with this for days, & believe that I have tried all possible solutions. I am basically trying to move a [Merant] PVCS installation from an OS/2 file server to a SuSE/Samba file server. This installation consists of 'standard' source archives,

...Linux OS. We are running OCFS Version 1.09 with Linux AS 3.0/9i RAC. We have a 2 node Intel Cluster (Node 1 and Node 2). This morning the DBA tried to do an "ls" command on /u06/oradata/database and his process hung. I tried to kill his "ls" process and it is unkillable. On Node 2, the "ls" on /u06/oradata/database worked fine. All of the other file systems (on both nodes) are fine. Also, what we can't get rid of is this process: oracle 23593 1 95 10:00 ? 04:45:11 oracleXYZ2 (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))...

I'm running Samba 2.0.4b on a E450 running Solaris 7 which acts as a diskspace server for students, normally everything runs quite smoothly with numbers of connections in the region of about 800/900. Then every now and again students will start seeing their connections being lost and others will not get a connection when they log in, looking at the system shows no obvious problems, except

John-- Thanks for the suggestion. I finally had a chance to get to the system in question, It was the only one of many that exhibited the USB hang. I tried a reboot with the two USB disks disconnected. Everything worked. I plugged them in, and then did both "lsusb -v" and "lshw", and again, everything worked. Continuing my test: Reboot with both drives plugged in:

...patches Kernel: RH compiled 2.4.18-19.7.xsmp Not sure whether this is an ext3 problem or not, but I've not seen this on other RH systems. There is a particular file on an ext3 filesystem that hangs whichever process tries to access it, i.e. an attempt to cp it will hang the cp. the process is unkillable, and a reboot is the only way of getting rid of it. Is it possible that the file system is corrupted? If so how to get rid of it? e2fsck -f finds nothing wrong. Andy ideas? TIA -- Tony Scholes SARL Emblard
