Process won't exit

Hi all.

I run about 10 OSX file servers (AFP) under 10.4.7. Occassionally I see one of the 2 AppleFileServer processes go into an uninterruptible wait state and stop servicing all requests - functionally disconnecting all of its clients. My attempts to kill the process result in it going into a exiting state but the process never actually exits (the longest I waited was 2 days). I have to pull the plug to get the servers back to normal. This happens intermittently (anywhere between 1 and 30+ days apart) on all of my servers that service a fairly heavy load.

I am wondering what I could do at a darwin level to try to trace the process and see why it is hung and won't exit. Maybe then I can formulate some type of solution/workaround.

Thoughts?

Al
