Hi,

The "sync" command (binary) was invoked by my backup script, and stalled 
in a similar way to my coreutils bug report 675613. Attempting to run 
the "sync" binary manually, after the "sync" started by the backup strip 
stalled resulted in two stalled "sync" processes:

OK, done.

on this bug.

I tried, but it didn't work:
