I got number of replies and many thanks.One person suggested me to use
pkill command.
Since I donot have this command installed on the system I can not use
it.Most of them
suggested a solution of rebooting the system since this process status is
Uninterruptible sleep
First of all sorry for NOT providing enough information. Tom reminded me
about this.
The OS is Tru64 v5.1A. This is not a cluster. This is an AlphaServer
4100.
The whole thing started when I was doing a tar operation from a True64
File server to an AFS File Server, which is running with RedHat Linux.
I have installed AFS client SW on the Alpha system.The whole user
directory is more than 6GB size. I was not getting the prompt back after
waiting a long
long time. So I logged to this machine from another machine and could
kill the
user session and tar creation process.But I could not kill the tar
extraction process.
It was already showing me as Uninterruptible.I never tried to look
in to the kernel internals.
Thanks very much for all the replies.
regards,
Kumar
