Hello
I have a 'rsync' job started by cron, but it keeps getting stuck and I now cannot eject the removeable media I was writing to... afer 14 hours! The removeable media is an Iomega REV drive, and it accepts the CDROM eject command normally.
now, when I try to eject, I get:
Code:
[root@samba ~]# eject /media/rev
umount: /media/rev: device is busy
umount: /media/rev: device is busy
eject: unmount of `/media/rev' failed
[root@samba ~]# fuser -v /media/rev
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/media/rev root 16744 f.c.. rsync
root kernel mount /media/rev
[root@samba ~]# ps aux | grep -i rsync
root 16744 0.1 1.0 18536 16056 ? D 00:24 1:07 rsync -rLpogDtu --stats --ignore-errors --delete --delete-excluded --include-from=/etc/backup-include / /media/rev/
root 13731 0.0 0.0 3748 688 pts/0 S+ 17:24 0:00 grep -i rsync
"kill -9 16744" returns nothing, as if it's successfully killed the process, but it doesn't kill it. How can I recover from this?
Many thanks,
Steve
