I've been having trouble with hardware errors on one disk drive causing a filesystem panic that appears to force the filesystem into read-only mode but the processes accessing it are blocked and won't die from signals. I would like to be able to force a reboot remotely when this happens but even 'reboot -f' hangs. Is there some other way besides punching the reset button to make the machine restart?
