I had to reboot to clear the process. It wouldn't die and I couldn't kill
it. Believe me, there was a very serious fsck run at reboot... There wasn't
any problems before this though as the file un-tared was the first isntalled
on the filesystem. It seemed to hang up the entire scsi controller. I was
also rebuilding a new kernel to turn off "over ride maximun # of commands".
It pretty much destroyed the tree. I had to remove what was there and
re-install it from the .gz source. Kinda nasty. And I've removed my
jaz from this system.
