I tried to run some rsync with nohup, which I couldnt get to run properly. I tried to delete the nohup.out file which it created but it seems everything in the directory I was working in is hanging now. I cannot even try ls in the directory anymore... The rsync commands I have tried:
nohup rsync -avP ADRESS:PATH/* .
nohup rsync -avP ADRESS:PATH/* . &
nohup rsync -avP ADRESS:PATH/* . & > /dev/null
All of the process were stopped.
Using top shows me that the processes are in "uninterruptible sleep" state and are most likely waiting for I/O (PID 1398509, 1398676 ).

I have a suspicion the nohup rsync is still writing somewhere after the hung processes and is holding up the I/O in the directories... Im sorry if this is vague and needs more information, I can add more information if needed. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
