Hi everyone,

I am running a lot of CTs with their roots located on an nfs share.
Once in a while it happens that a process gets stuck which I fear has
something to do with the nfs mount.
See the dmesg out below.
The problem now is that I can't kill this process anymore.
This results into beeing unable to stop the CT running this process.
vzctl stop <CTID> runs into a timeout.
It is totally impossible to kill the process - The only solution is a
reboot of the Host-System.

Is there a way to forcefully kill the CT ?
In this case I don't care if the process remains running.
I just want the rest of the CT to be stopped so I can start the CT again.

Here is the dmes output:

[194043.649945] INFO: task which:810615 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Yep, that's correct. Your only real option is to migrate all of the
other CT's to another host node, then reboot this host node, then
migrate the other CT's back.

Nope, the kernel is hung waiting for IO which will wait until the cows
come home. Are you using TCP or UDP nfs mounts? Try switching from
one to the other and see if that affects your nfs timeout issue.

I don't think it can be done.

So the "which" command was scanning the directories in the path and
that's what caused the nfs fault. Maybe you can tune your tcp
settings to compensate (assuming your using tcp nfs mounts) but I've
never tried to do anything like that, so I don't know if settings
could actually fix anything. Network congestion is likely your
biggest issue.

Yeah, once you get a call trace, you're hosed.

Does slabtop show that your nfs slabs are using up extremely large
chunks of memory?

try this:

vzctl chkpnt VEID --kill

don't know where I got it, but it worked for me in a few cases; in
some others it did not though.

Vzctl stop --fast
However it wont't help in case of tasks in D state. You need to mount nfs with softintr option for that.

Thanks for all the responses.
I already have the NFS Mount mounted with intr but the processes still
stay in D state and are not killable.
Anyway, I'll try to convert all CTs to ploop this night and hope not
to see stuck processes on NFS afterwards :-)

best regards,

Sirk

Kirill probably meant the "soft" option. Plus, intr/nointr are
deprecated and ignored since 2.6.25 so they make no difference.

More details: man 5 nfs
