I had a usb drive that went bad so when I tried to do a cp
command it just hung doing nothing. I killed the command
with ctrl -c but it was still listed when I did ps -aux. I
tried to kill the process but it was stat D and I could not
kill it. I tried doing a forced umount of the usb drive. The
process was still there. Did a shutdown but it would not
finish shutting down and I had to turn off the power. Then
this week I tried to copy a file that was too large for the
usb drive this time using pcmanfm instead of the command
line. Although it told you out of space and had a stop
button it did not stop the process and again had to do a
hard reboot to clean up the filesystem.
Is there a better way to clean up a write process that has
gone bad
