bug?

Linux 2.4.3-pre3....

df(1) runs and shows its output, but then it hangs before returning to my shell.... I can't kill -9 it, even as root, and it never goes away.... load average continues to grow, and vmstat shows all the df processes as blocking.

Time to reboot. *sigh*

Update: Upon rebooting, it hung while "unmounting remote filesystems".... ah yes, I had a bunch of my friend's shares mounted with smbfs. That's where df must have locked up... waiting to find the disk space free on Eli's computer, which he'd shut off.

Rant: this is fucking pathetic. df shouldn't freeze to the point of screwing over your system if a smb share is offline. You shouldn't have to reboot your computer. And even if you did reboot your computer, unmounting shares shouldn't freeze--- I had to cold boot the machine, which require doing a fsck on my non-reiser partitions when I came back up. Also, my raid array now has to resync... very annoying.
