D State and XFS 1.2

[Greg Freemyer <freemyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running a vanilla 2.4.19 kernel with xfs 1.2 patched in.

xfsdump from 1am Monday morning is stuck in D state. 
  
The server has been up and running for 40 days.

The xfsdump is of a lvm snapshot.  The base FS is working fine.

I remember seeing threads about getting stuck in D state, but did not realize 
it affected the 1.2 release.  (I thought it was cvs only.)

Is this a known/resolved issue, or is there some interest in troubleshooting 
the issue.

I assume I can kill -9 the stuck processes, unmount the FS and kill the 
snapshot to restore normal operation.

Thanks
Greg
