Hello all:

I recently had a dump die for reasons unknown on one of my clients.  Future
dumps of this hard drive have NOT been sucessful (Data timeout reported in
amanda reports).

I logged into the box and discovered a number of processes owned by amanda
attempting to backup that disk.  I was able to kill all but two:

root     29202  0.0  2.2  2672 1700 ?        D    Mar08   3:26 gtar --create
--directory /home --listed-incremental
/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/blazersdb1_0.new --sparse
--one-file-system --ignore-failed-read --totals --file - .
root     30706  0.0  2.2  2672 1700 ?        D    Mar09   3:41 gtar --create
--directory /home --listed-incremental
/usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/blazersdb1_0.new --sparse
--one-file-system --ignore-failed-read --totals --file - .


I tried kill -9 <pid> on these, but couldn't take care of it.  I don't want
to reboot the box, because I'm not nearby to fix it if it doesn't come back
up on its own.

Any suggestions?
