hi,

can you give the output of

ps -aef |grep PID

where PID is the pid of specific process.

if you are applying fuser -ku for a mount point
you have to give the lvol name.
like (if lvol9 is mounted on /mnt and you want to umount it.before that findout that process is related to any application and shutdown that application.)
#fuser -ku /dev/vg00/lvol9

regds,

Hi lawrenzo
The process that can't be killed with kill -9 should be dead but they still are alive. They are called zombies.
I think you have only way to kill that process : that is reboot the server.

Anyway, here is a good thread that you can find some usefull information:

Hope this helps
