John,
to kill a running process, and all connected to it in some way, do as root in a
console:
ps -aux | grep xfs
This should show you something like this:
zeus:/home/dekkm001 # ps -aux | grep xfs
xfs 1747 0.0 2.7 6604 5264 ? S Jun10 0:03 xfs -port -1
-dae
root 3479 0.0 0.3 1796 600 pts/1 R 12:22 0:00 grep xfs
zeus:/home/dekkm001 #
note that the first line is the actual xfs process, the second line is the grep
command I issued.
First, there is the user owning the command, in this case "xfs". the next
field,
the number, is the Process ID (pid) this is the number you want. in this case
it
is 1747, but will be different on your box.
next type:
kill -9 <pid>
in this case, that would be: kill -9 1747
Then, continue with Ramon's excellent troubleshooting hints.
Cheers,
Martijn
