Bug#660295: Additional information on processes-hanging-in-D-state problem
Unmounting and re-mounting NFS mounts did not solve the problem, as rpciod
is still stuck in 'D' and stuck smbd processes are still spawning with the
same files open as before.
(I also noticed that a small number of afpd (from netatalk) processes were
also stuck in 'DL', with filehandles open on a different NFS mount.)
This left a reboot as the only way to deal with the problem. I'll continue
to monitor the situation, and if the problem persists I'll try the kernel
from squeeze-backports, if it can be installed without too much disruption.
If that persists, the system is going to be reverted to 2.6.26 from lenny.
