Murthy,
Thanks

I'm not sure I am having the same I'm not sure I am having the same problem you 
were having.

I just started having D-state lockups on another Linux box where I don't have 
any xfs partitions.

Unfortunately I am out of the office for the next couple of days, so I will 
have to look into it Friday.

Thanks
Greg
