Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/731

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version)

1.80-2~bpo8+1 - from Debian 8

Version of fuse being used (pkg-config --modversion fuse)

2.9.3-15+deb8u2 - from Debian 8

System information (uname -r)

3.16.0-5-amd64

/etc/fstab entry (if applicable):

s3fs#zzz-production /mnt/s3fs fuse _netdev,defaults,noatime,uid=1001,gid=1001,use_cache=/tmp,multireq_max=1000,max_stat_cache_size=100000,allow_other,umask=007,mp_umask=007,iam_role=zzz-production,endpoint=eu-west-1 0 0

Details about issue

Running a 'find' command (by mistake) over a consistent directory tree (60GB of small files) results in a hanging process. The process being in D state, it is not possible to kill it immediately (my understanding is that it will wait for its syscall to terminate).

The question is: is there any way to make the stuck process killable, short of unmouting the whole s3 bucket ?
I know that NFS has/used-to-have intr and nointr mount options, but I couldnt find any equivalent for fuse/s3fs...

I tried to reproduce these symptoms with version 1.85 and I was successfully able to ^C a long-running find command. Could you test with the latest version and share more about your environment?
