It has reached the maximal number of connections (100). According to
the process table (ps auwx) most of them are in the "D" state. Killing
them doesn't work, not even kill -9 as root. I've had a very similar
problem a few days ago with my mirroring rsync processes -- they got
stuck the same way. The next day they weren't there. The server wasn't
rebooted in between. The ps man page says that the "D" state means
that the process is in an "uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)". Does
anyone make anything out of it? Could it be that the SCSI disks are
acting up again (in a different way this time)?
