- I am trying to take a backup of my system, but as you can see from my ps
- command it is sleeping:
-
- F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME COMD
-
- 1 S 0 22026 22023 0 168 20 47d2580 657 68fa8000 ttys0 2:12 fbackup
-
- Reading the man page for ps I learn that the WCHAN coloumn says what event
- the process is waiting for.
-
- My question is simply:
- What is event 68fa8000 and where do I find some more information about the issue?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Geir Wettland.
