SubjectRe: force umount [was Re: [STATUS 2.5] January 18, 2002]
DateThu, 24 Jan 2002 15:00:12 -0200
Digg This
Can I kill the processes accessing busy
filesystems? [That was big point of force umount, I believe.]

Huh? If process is killable - it's killable. What does it have to --force?

Following situation used to be common and "not a bug":
process a tries to read /nfs/foo, but nfs server dies.
kill -9 a does not kill a.

It used to be "not a bug" before. Can we declare it a bug after umount /nfs --force?

After more than a year on lkml I still don't understand why it's not a bug. Anyway, I always mount NFS with hard,intr and my processes are killable... --
