--- Begin Message ---Package: gamin Version: 0.1.10-2+b1 Severity: important File: /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server If you have an interruptible mount, and the NFS server goes down, umount -f is supposed to unmount it. Unfortunately, gamin prevents this: # strace -r -f -p 15469 ... 1.001142 stat("/mnt/Feynman/JackEncoded", 0x7fff1a117f40) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) 12.194685 poll([{fd=4, events=0}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 11, 0) = 0 (Timeout) 0.000066 stat("/mnt/Feynman/JackEncoded", 0x7fff1a117f40) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) ... The EIO comes from umount -f (or the kernel) trying to get processes out of uninterruptible sleep on the dead NFS mount, and you can see that came 12 seconds after the stat call. Unfortunately, 0.000066 seconds later, gam_server stats the stat again. Eventually, with enough umount -f you can get it unmounted, by winning the race. But really, gam_server shouldn't treat EIO like EAGAIN. Whether that EIO means you've hit a bad NFS mount, a bad sector, a vanished device, etc., polling it again is not a good course of action. (I've got to imagine the consequences of doing this on a bad sector are even worse: most HDDs have a very long error recovery sequence. Probably only way out of that one is the reset button.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gamin depends on: ii libc6 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgamin0 0.1.10-2+b1 Client library for the gamin file ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines gamin recommends no packages. gamin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
