[wplug] processes that won't die

[Keir Josephson]

I'd like to make an observation. I've been following this thread, and 
it seems that this problem is prevalent through many of the major Unix 
flavors. Has anyone noticed a common entity between all of these cases?

More detail on my HP-UX issue. The Portable File System (PFS) is 
designed to allow HP-UX to recognize an ISO-9660 formated cdrom. 
Primarily, Oracle software cdrom's need this. They are in PC format and 
HP-UX (11.0 anyway) doesn't see them without it. The PFS daemons 
utilize the nfs subsystem to make the raw cdrom device operate as 
though it were a remote mounted file system. When the unmount function 
fails, eventually all disk operations freeze. Even basic operations 
like df & rm. The error that comes back on hp-ux is "NFS Server not 
responding". Any process that has frozen cannot be killed (even with a 
-9).

Is anyone else seeing anything that might point to the NFS 
functionality in the kernel?
