Subject: un killable processes - stuck file system
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 14:36:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D482E45.2040809@theworld.com> (raw)

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to send this bug report - but
here goes:

I have a DVD-RAM with an IDE interface - currently /dev/hdc.
I foolishly ejected the disk while it was still mounted and
flipped the write protect tab - and lo!:

cat > foo.tmp failed and got stuck

In fact nothing could kill this process now listed as D.

In fact the drive now can't be mounted or unmounted.  I
did some reading and it appears that a forced mount or
lazy mount might work - but umount -f fails with:

umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /dev/hdc: not mounted
umount: /media/cdrom: Illegal seek

I'm sure that if I reboot - all will be fine...  But
we try to avoid rebooting

Seems like:
- one shouldn't be able to eject media that's mounted
- if one does - it shouldn't take down the device
- if it does take down the device - it'd be nice to be
   able to fix it without rebooting

I'll monitor the list for any questions - but feel free to
email too and I'll post a summary of the answers.
