Re: [ILUG] Unkillable processes

: kill -9 is having no effect on this tar process. Any ideas
: on what else I could do to kill it? Apart from rebooting,
: of course.

Very rarely, but sometimes, it's possible to get rid of these processes by
sending the process a SEGV or some other signal which causes an
abort+coredump.

Normally, though, processes which are blocking on an nfs query can only be
killed by rebooting.
