Cannot kill process / umount / stop nfs.

Hi there.

I had a not-so-brillant idea to make_net_recovery to a ignite server hosted on the very same machine. The process hung, I tried to kill (sigterm then sigkill) but one of the processes:

root 25545 1 0 10:00:16 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/sh /opt/ignite/data/scripts/make_sys_image -d /var/opt

Does not die.

lsof says:

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
make_sys_ 25545 root cwd can't read cwd pst_filedetails: No such process

nfs.stop cannot end one of the nfsd processes, which can´t be killed to.

This machine is rather unpatched. Is reboot the only solution?

Which OS? Anything less then 11.31 and reboot is the only way....

with 11.31, you could try a umount -f
