Subjectprocesses stuck in D state
Hi!

I got a continuos problem of unkillable processes stuck in D state (
uninterruptable sleep ) on my Linux servers.
It happens randomly every time on other server on another process ( all
the servers are configured the same with 2.4.18-10 kernel ). Here's an
example :

root@lnx35 /]# ps -el|grep D
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
000 D 911 29327 1 0 75 0 - 9382 lock_p ? 00:00:00
calibre
000 D 894 30049 15854 0 75 0 - 8995 lock_p ? 00:00:01
calibrewb
000 D 894 30092 8661 0 75 0 - 8995 lock_p ? 00:00:01
calibrewb
000 D 894 29773 26052 0 75 0 - 8977 lock_p ? 00:00:01
calibrewb


It was probably stuck while trying to get a lock (which was
certainly free) on an NFS volume mounted from a Netapp server.

Enabling debug mode on rpc ( echo '65535' >/proc/sys/sunrpc/rpc_debug )
didn't gave me any clue.
Tracing the stucked process pid doesn't give any output.

Those processes are there already few days and will stay there until
next reboot.

The load average is now 4 ( although the machine is 100% idle ) and the
system seems to work fine.
If other programs are started again they run and use the same mounts
that the processes above are stuck on.

Another detail is that those problems started when i added the 'intr'
option to my nfs mounted fs but i'm not sure. Also, i can't easily check
that since this problem is not reproducible.

Has anyone noticed the same behavior ? Is this a well known problem ?


Thanks for your help.
