I have right now a deluged process behaving exactly as this (100% cpu, unkillable, becomes zombie when killed and keeps eating 100% cpu, using an encrypted filesystem). Possibly duplicates: #925309 #665211 (this last one was reported by me) Not so sure: #838061 Quite nasty bug, since it forces a

Ok found it: echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger My dd experiments apparently are not zombies, but unkillable, never the less. For the dd trials a call trace was found in the log. For the run-away transmission-gtk thread (12991) no such trace could be found. Please find below what I thought relevant. I'

As unbeliable as it may sound, my machine (Samsung NP300U) does not have sysrq key. Is there some other way to produce whatever alt-sysrq-t does? However, I did find the /var/log/kern.log file. It starts from Jan 8 and last time stamp was few minutes ago so I believe it is valid. I tried greppi

2012-01-10 Thread Phillip Susi
It looks like transmission has one thread trying to exit, which has placed the process in the zombie state, and the other thread is runaway in kernel space. Can you press alt-sysrq-t and look through /var/log/kern.log for the section relating to that process? -- You received this bug notificatio

Re reproduction: When you create the file (e.g. by write(2) system calls), the process gets stuck at some point when it goes over a threshold, suspected to be 4GB, though my file was actually 5GB. Then I tried to kill the process (no effect) and then kill -9, which made it zombie. Then I killed

The name of the kernel package is "linux" and the link is not broken. By definition a zombie process can not use any cpu since it has exited. Can you post the output of ps -l on this process? Also your reproduction steps are incomplete. You said create a 4gb file, but then what? What process are
