>>Description:
EMZ> There's only two holy grails in FreeBSD: one, nowadays patched
EMZ> but sometimes still haunting FreeBSD, is the panic (livelock,
EMZ> hangup, name it yourself) when the mounted media is physically
EMZ> removed (a diskette, a flash-disk etc).
EMZ> And the second - this is inability to terminate a process when
EMZ> it hangs in D state. Of course, kill -9 didn't work (as always.
EMZ> I'm guessing thi isn't a 'uncatchable uniterruptable signal' as
EMZ> it's man page says, It looks more like 'no big deal, safe to
EMZ> ignore signal, just for a process knows that something is up')
EMZ> Last time I plugged the USB-mouse out of its port to hadle the
EMZ> mess with the cord, and when I plugged it back - hald hanged in
EMZ> the D state, so did all of the usbconfigs and so on.
EMZ> I had to reboot the FreeBSD just to get my mouse back. Like
EMZ> we're back in 1996 with an non-OSR Windows 95.
EMZ> It's completely ridiculous.
>>How-To-Repeat:
EMZ> I'm pretty sure that if you're actually using FreeBSD, then at
EMZ> least once in a lifetime you got the need to kill something, you
EMZ> realise you cannot, and then when trying to understand what the
EMZ> hell is going on you see the magical D letter in ps's output, which means you're doomed.
>>Fix:
EMZ> There's always an answer. Reboot loves you.
not always, I have process going to 'T' state (STOP).
and it is not killed even when I run 'reboot'
only hard reboot helps (
as developers sayed:
>A signal cannot forcibly kill a process that is stuck in the kernel.
>Allowing this would put the integrity of the kernel data structures at
>risk and likely cause hangs, data corruption or panics later on.
see: bin/164526: kill(1) can not kill process despite on -KILL
