Hello toaster friends,
please forgive me if anyone finds this message to be off-topic.
I have POP3 and SMTP daemons running on a Linux server, using a F760 filer with NFS. Often, our Linux server gets a couple of stuck processes, that won't go away. It's not possible to kill them.
It has "disk sleep" status, and they cannot receive kill commands.
Does anyone knows how can I kill this processes? I have a couple that are over a week old.
Thanks a lot!
