I got a process that will not die :(. I tried "kill -9" and it still
does not die. It's a loop back process from a failed mount iso
command. But just in general what would be a way to kill a process
that hanged and does not respond ?

After reading on google some more it looks that if kill -9 does not kill
it, nothing will :( I had to restart my server after only 42 days uptime :(

Seams kind of strange though that there is no way to scrub out a dead
process. I would think that linux would have something that can kill any
process. I am root, BTW, and owned the process. The parent of the loop0
(the stalled process) was init, thus killing the parent wasn't really an
option.
