Maybe the listed processes create a tempfile and instantly delete it (while keeping it open and therefore useable for the process that opened it).
Please check with zypper ps (without the -s) to see the filenames of the deleted files used by these processes.
Thanks, Christian. The good news is that after rebooting into recovery, I ran a btrfs check; it didn't find any issues, but the issue with zypper ps -s showing in-use files seems to have cleared up. It was really strange that that issue persisted through a reboot earlier this week.
Well, it came back after running another zypper up.
The files shown are:
jhenderson@lamuella:~> sudo zypper ps The following running processes use deleted files:
PID | PPID | UID | User | Command | Service | Files ------+-------+-----+------+----------------------+--------- +-------------------------------- 18849 | 18838 | 478 | gdm | gnome-session-binary | | /var/lib/ gdm/.config/dconf/user 18860 | 1 | 478 | gdm | at-spi-bus-launcher | | /var/lib/ gdm/.config/dconf/user 19023 | 1 | 478 | gdm | goa-daemon | | /var/lib/ gdm/.config/dconf/user 19041 | 1 | 478 | gdm | mission-control-5 | | /var/lib/ gdm/.config/dconf/user
processes using deleted files are processes that continue running after you update those file with zypper. when you reboot, you clear the processes and they restart using the newly installed files rather than the deleted/replaced/upgraded files. you will only notice running processes using deleted files after and update. you do not need to reboot to clear the subject processes. many you can kill and restart, also restarting the graphic target will clear some. usually the only time a reboot is necessary is for a kernel update or a dbus (messagebus) update. some knowledge of the particular processes is necessary to determine the proper procedure to clear it w/o rebooting. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
