Oh man, I hate that.
I've dreamed of patching the kernel and writing two utilities - twim (terminate without mercy) and uwep (unmount with extreme prejudice) that simply remove a process along with all threads, or destroy a mountpoint and drop all associated resources (all filehandles become closed, etc.). Lack of time has mostly stopped me from attempting it, and I'm quite sure it won't be at all trivial.
- Rapzid 12y agoYeah.. Not sure if the root cause was ever determined but at my previous job we had issues with Xen guests shutting down but the blkback device would go D and never quit. This would prevent the VM from starting because the LV was busy. lvm commands would freeze. And of course the system would end up needing a hard reboot because the lvm teardown scripts would not complete on shutdown due to the busy device. Good times :|
