hi. so, i'm going completely crazy and i was wondering if someone might
point me in a direction i haven't tried yet.

yesterday afternoon:

mt -f /dev/nst0 erase

no response. wait a bit. ps tells me it's dead. 

kill 22107
kill -9 22107
kill -KILL 22107

nothing.

ps fauwx, then killed all process associated with it. still, this damn
process will not go away. maybe i'm being stupid, and i hope i am, but is
there anything left to do before rebooting? anyway, any help would be
greatly appreciate as i'd just as soon not bring down this machine..

thanks 

nick
