https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461241 Summary: hard hangs and unkillable processes Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: augustmiles@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other I have just updated to 11.1. From 11.0 Our machine is a dual process xeon, used as a web server/imap mail. It is administered remotely over ssh. I had a imap process on my server using 100% of CPU. I tried using kill -9 to stop it without success. I then tried taking down dovecot imap with "rcdovecot stop" at this point I could no longer get the command prompt. I am now unable to login to the machine- it does answer a ping. I am filing under kernel- a runaway process should not bring down the connectivity of a machine in any situation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
