Do you mean that the client itself forks, too? I thought you are only trying to deal with the fork done by the shell via the '&' operator. My solution of course handles only that (by forking a shell, reporting its PID into a fifo and then exec'ing the fuse client). But shouldn't the '-f' and '-s' option of fusexmp prevent it from forking on its own? > > > > As far as I can tell, I was hitting the right task since hitting the > > > wrong or non-existant task didn't hang the test. > > > > Yes, when I fork from a fresh shell, I also get the forked PID one > > greater practically every time, so that will be a different problem... > > I didn't look at the hang problem yet, I will try it later in the > > afternoon. > > > > > > > - The SIGSTOP is necessary to simulate the hung filesystem. > > > > > > > > > > - RGB > > > > > > > > Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace at redhat dot com> > > > > > > - RGB > > > > Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace at redhat dot com> > > - RGB > > -- > Richard Guy Briggs <r...@redhat.com> > Sr. S/W Engineer, Kernel Security, Base Operating Systems > Remote, Ottawa, Red Hat Canada > IRC: rgb, SunRaycer > Voice: +1.647.777.2635, Internal: (81) 32635 -- Ondrej Mosnacek <omosnace at redhat dot com> Associate Software Engineer, Security Technologies Red Hat, Inc. -- Linux-audit mailing list Linux-audit@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-audit
