Re: Server increasing load due increasing processes in D state
After an strace of lsof I've seen it hangs on
stat("/proc/1227/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 open("/proc/1227/stat", O_RDONLY) = 4 read(4, "1227 (nova-dhcpbridge) D 1224 25"..., 4096) = 242 close(4) = 0 readlink("/proc/1227/cwd", "/"..., 4096) = 1 stat("/proc/1227/cwd", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 readlink("/proc/1227/root", "/", 4096) = 1 stat("/proc/1227/root", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 readlink("/proc/1227/exe", "/usr/bin/python2.7"..., 4096) = 18 stat("/proc/1227/exe", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=2989480, ...}) = 0 open("/proc/1227/maps", O_RDONLY) = 4 read(4,
Could it be a memory issue?

Thanks in advance
