Hi, 
I can't kill on process within a vserver. kill -9 5975  within the 
vserver has no effekt. A "vserver suse1122 stop" started from the host
doesn't work either: 

prax1:/data/suse112/dev# vserver suse1122 stop
A timeout occured while waiting for the vserver to finish and it will
be killed by sending a SIGKILL signal. The following process list
might be useful for finding out the reason of this behavior:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 5975  1099 suse1122      ?        D      0:00 ./docnet -x9
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vserver '/etc/vservers/suse1122' still running unexpectedly; please investigate it manually...

Is a reboot of the host the only way to cope with?

thx
