Hello fellow admins.
I had a problem on one of my servers the other day in which VCS failed to fail
over to another machine.
The situation was the following: VCS started to bring down the process and
then tried to unmount the file systems. Unfortunatly one of the processes got
stuck and as such the file system couldn't be unmounted.
Here are my questions:
1. Does anybody know how I can set a program in this state, no response to a
kill -9 etc. but still holding on to a file?
2. How I can force an unmount on a partition like this?
Thanks in advance. I will summarize.
