Hi,
after burning a DVD I rsync'ed the whole DVD back to the hard disk to check if there are no read errors. Suddenly a bad sector appeard and the log file started filling with entries
[...]
Now, I tried to stop this somehow: - the rsync can't be killed, not even as root with kill -9.
- umounting with -l claimed to work, but I couldn't eject the DVD
- finally, after about 10 minutes I ejected the DVD physically from the drive, but Linux doesn't care about this? rsync is still running and can't be killed, and the logfile still fills with entries like above every few seconds (with increasing sector numbers), although the DVD has not been in the drive for more than 15 minutes now.
How can I stop this? Why can't I kill the rsync and how can I make the drive recognize there is no DVD anymore? Some way to reset the drive or sth.?
You can't kill process which are in state D (Uninterruptible sleep it's usally IO related). Not even if you're root. Rafa -- "Even paranoids have enemies."
