It'll stay in the proceslist regardless of what kill signal is sent to it and appears to be (and very much _stay_) in un-interuptable sleep. The same can be said for the various mount processes, both when mounting loopback and scsi devices. Another thing that struck me as weird was that after all the problems with the mount and emacs process, trying to unmount a NFS share was not possible even though the NFS server had no problems whatsoever mounting new shares. regards, Remco -- Remco B.
