[mountpoint] <defunct> in process listing

  • I am seeing these:

    Code
    root     31958  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31959  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31960  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31961  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31962  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31963  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>
    root     31964  1272  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 [mountpoint] <defunct>

    pid 1272 is: /usr/bin/monit -c /etc/monit/monitrc


    which seems to point to this monit file:
    /etc/monit/conf.d/openmediavault-filesystem.conf


    Any ideas why this is happening and how to resolve?

  • I have this exact issue. I logged in via ssh and saw 23 zombie processes.


    After running ps aux | grep Z, I found that I had a list like the first post in here.



    edit: nevermind. Per another post I found


    "And since these zombies die pretty fast (look at your timestamps) it's just the result of monit calling '/bin/mountpoint' to get a clue which mountpoints or directories below /srv or /media belong to which block device (to graph disk utilization or whatever). They come and go most probably every minute or even seconds and are harmless"
