"D" state is a state where they are in the kernel, usually waiting for IO of some kind of for a semaphore. The fact that they're stuck is a kernel bug somewhere; to diagnose we (or probably your OS vendor given you're running a highly antique kernel) the output of "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger", and especially the part of the dump that shows the process in "D" state. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
