Hello all,

My machine has some hanging processes since I have upgraded the kernel.
Can someone tell me how to narrow down the problem (I think it's an XFS issue)?
Symptom: process goes to 'D' state, and the load average goes up by 1 per
process. I can not find any process constantly running, and you can not feel
it, but believe me my load average is 13.23. All I can do is restart the
machine, as even signal 11 does not kill the processes.

Thanks, Laszlo
Ps:Should I update my kernel to the current CVS?

There have been some fixes floating around. However I am still running 2.4.2
The last time I had a process stuck in a D state was caused by a bad ram DIMM.

Can you give some information to what sort of processes produce these effects?
What they do and how or other relevant info.

Bye

Has anybody seen my lightbulb?
I _really_ need some light here.
