I had presumed there was something I needed to tweak there.

Subject: Can't kill a process

  
I have a rather intense process that has been running since last 
night.  
I wanted to kill it since it's eating up my cpu however kill and 
kill -9 
don't seem to be doing the trick.

I'm running the reiser 3.6.25 file system on a RedHat Advanced 
Server 
(2.1) with 2.4.9-3.38smp kernel.

It's simply counting the time away as it copies files to disk.  
I've 
reniced it to 15.  It's also on a raid 5 array and I've modified 
my 
min/max speed to 10/50.  Performance has improved however the 
process is 
still running. 

Thoughts?

thx
