Hi 

Fedora 16 x86_64 Kernel  3.3.1-3.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP

I have cif mount over a VPN to a remote windows share which I have a
local 
"cp -fLruv" to. 

If this "cp -fLruv" hangs because a VPN problem broke the connection
temporarily. I can't kill the CP and the system won't restart due to the
CIF mount which it can't umount as it is busy with the hung cp
operation !

I have you manually hit reset to get it back!!

How can I kill the broken cp operation ?

I have tried rsync but it takes too long
