[LUG] How to *really* kill processes?
For some reason, Samba has decided to spawn literally hundreds of
processed which are now in "D" state (not sure what that means).
Although the CPU and swap are almost completely idle, my system load is
running at around 300 and strange things are happening (like it dropping
my SSH connection when I tried to log in).
I'll probably have to restart this time, but in future, how can I kill
processes that just won't die? I've already tried "killall -9 smbd".
TIA,
Jon
