Re: Process status D
Process in state D are in an uninterruptible state.
You can't kill a D process.
Normally process are in D state only during IO operations.
Abnormally, persistant D state means deadlock ...
So You can only reboot your computer.
If you're using linux 2.4.3, you certainly trigger a known bug which IIRC is corrected in the upcomming 2.4.4.
