Periodic stuck in find (unkillable)

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

On a 10.3/amd64 box periodic is not running properly: often the mail 
just says "daily prior run still in progress".

I've checked and there are several processes belonging to periodic; I 
was able to kill most of them (sometimes getting a partial report), but 
some instances of "find" are unkillable.

> # ps ax | grep find
> 10526  -  D        0:34.62 find -sx / /usr /var /data /dev/null -type f ( ( ! -perm +010 -and -p
> 82967  -  DN       0:40.19 find -s / ! ( -fstype ufs ) -prune -or -path /tmp -prune -or -path /u
> 92472  -  D        1:14.42 find -sx / /usr /var /data /dev/null -type f ( -perm -u+x -or -perm -
> 97995  -  D        0:57.10 find -sx / /usr /var /data /dev/null -type f ( ( ! -perm +010 -and -p
> 99128  0  S+       0:00.00 grep find

These processes will only go away by rebooting.



On a similar box, I've got clamscan getting stuck:

I believe this started when I upgraded from 9.3 to 10.3.



In both cases, I've got no NFS shares mounted, so it cannot be a network 
problem.

Any idea what's going on or how to check?
