Managed to login to that node again, after hours (>3) of \"running\" `annex add` is still there with current process tree being

[[!format sh \"\"\"

\"\"\"]]

and all the locks there, and I believe being generated by this `annex add` run:

[[!format sh \"\"\"
$ /bin/ls .git/annex/
index  index.lck  journal  journal.lck  misctmp  objects  pidlock  precommit.lck  sentinal  sentinal.cache
\"\"\"]]

the process 15565 is slowly increasing its seconds (now 19)... is that a good sign (no lockup, just very slow IO) or not (it is locked up, and all the time corresponds just to the periodic querying of the lock)? if to strace -- which particular process? or should I interrupt and run the entire `annex add` under strace?
