Hi

I was wondering if anybody has come across in a failure of fuser command.

We have a backup script that is:

Code:

fuser -c -k /XXX/XXXXXXX
sync;sync
umount /XXX/XXXXXXX/
backup -0 -f /dev/rmt0.1 -u /dev/XXXXXXXlv
mount /XXX/XXXXXXX/
sync;sync

The script is called from crontab via an other script.

We faced that problem last week and we were confused not having the ability to find out why.

We restarted the server and for a week everything was working properly.

Last night during the Backup schedule the fuser command got stuck again

when we run "ps -elf | grep fuser"
we got:

Code:

240001 A     root  9240668 12910878   0  64 22 1255f7c590  2584          22:14:23      -  0:00 fuser -c -k /XXX/XXXXXXX

can anybody help?

Thanks,

George Govotsis

Did you check if anything else makes this hang like too much traffic on that box cpu/memory wise? Or a stuck i/o on storage? errpt entries?

Hi,
please next night during the Backup run:

Code:

ps -elf

Bye
