Hello,
On FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE I have a job in my root crontab that is executed
every night:
5 0 * * * /usr/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -aug; /usr/sbin/quotaon -a;
Today I've found out that two quotaon processes stucked in 'syncer'
state in top ('D' state in ps). No quotaon/quotaoff can be started
now:
# /usr/sbin/quotaoff -a
quotaoff: /home: Operation already in progress
quotaoff: /home: Operation already in progress
And these processes can not be killed. Here is ps/top output:
# ps auwwx | grep 'quot[a]'
root 2462 0.0 0.0 4608 912 ?? D Thu12AM 0:00.03
/usr/sbin/quotaon -a
root 60450 0.0 0.0 4608 928 ?? D Fri12AM 0:00.04
/usr/sbin/quotaon -a
# top -b -Uroot 100500 | grep quota
60450 root 1 -4 0 4608K 928K syncer 4 0:00 0.00% quotaon
2462 root 1 -4 0 4608K 912K syncer 5 0:00 0.00% quotaon
Is there any way to finish these stucked processes without reboot?
