Subject: Process falls into uninterruptible sleep
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2003 19:26:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200304091926.00422.freesoftwaredeveloper@web.de> (raw)

Hi.

I have a problem, since I'm using linux-2.4.21-pre6

Sometimes (there seems to be no reason for it) a process
(doesn't matter what process) falls into an
"uninterruptible sleep" while doing something with it.
This problem isn't reproducible or bound to a specific process.
It happens when it "want's to happen" :)

Here an example of a locked kmail:

mb@lfs:~> ps aux | grep kmail
mb       27979  0.2  8.8 43124 22728 ?       D    15:56   0:35 kmail

I'm not able to kill the processes.
I don't know if it is really a kernel-problem, but I think it is one.

Regards
Michael Buesch.
