Others have answered your question, I thought I'd chip in with why they are saying it's a file system/disk issue. That line above is the key, the 8th column is a D, that means the process is in an un-interruptible state waiting on I/O. You can't kill it, root can't even kill it. The ps man page has the text book definition of processes in D, but D doesn't mean disk, it's any I/O, it could be network, like an nfs mount. if you ran dmesg before rebooting you might have seen some disk errors, they still might be in a syslog file now. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
