Hi,

do you see anything special in your logs? maybe your disk's gonna die.

I did see processes stuck in D state with pre mid-februar xfs-code.
Nathan Scott checked a fix into cvs (Feb 17th, I think, but you maybe
want to search the archives). Speaking for myself, I have never seen
processes stuck in D after that fix again...
