Hey all, I seem to be having a problem with a Zombie Docker that will not die. It's the Crashplan from gfjardin. I was trying to remove it, but it is refusing to die. The dashboard says the process is running, but refuses to stop it. Now the whole system is running slowly, and is

 

When I try and remove it, it says that the container is still in use.

 

In the command line, docker -stats shows this:

 

CONTAINER          CPU %              MEM USAGE / LIMIT  MEM %              NET I/O            BLOCK I/O

26102e92a2fd        0.00%              533 MB / 33.75 GB  1.58%              0 B / 0 B          705.8 MB / 389.1 kB

 

 

When I try docker -stop [26102e92a2fd] from the command line, it just sits there until I do a ctrl-C. Same with docker -kill [26102e92a2fd]

 

So, I am guessing that the process has gone zombie. How can I kill it off?

...However, the kernel may not be able to successfully kill the process in some situations. If the process is waiting for network or disk I/O, the kernel won’t be able to stop it. Zombie processes and processes caught in an uninterruptible sleep cannot be stopped by the kernel, either. A reboot is required to clear those processes from the system.

Hah forgot to add that a shutdown -r now doesn't work either.

Try and figure out the actual PID through htop and kill it there.

Thanks, managed to find it and kill it after some hassle, then had to repair the array, but am now running okay.
