          Code Meaning
          D Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
          R Running or runnable (on run queue)
          S Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
          T Stopped, either by a job control signal or because it is being traced.
          W paging (not valid since the 2.6.xx kernel)
          X dead (should never be seen)
          Z Defunct (“zombie”) process, terminated but not reaped by its parent.

          For BSD formats and when the stat keyword is used, additional characters may be displayed:

          Code Meaning
          < high-priority (not nice to other users)
          N low-priority (nice to other users)
          L has pages locked into memory (for real-time and custom IO)
          s is a session leader
          l is multi-threaded (using CLONE_THREAD, like NPTL pthreads do)
          + is in the foreground process group

          Process in D state

          If there are a lot of processes in D state in your system, then something is wrong with it.

          What is D state and a process state in general? A process in Linux can be in several states: running, sleeping, etc. Running process runs on a CPU just now, sleeping process waits for its turn on CPU or for some other event. Using ps command you can obtain information about state of each process in the system: STAT column shows that:

          # ps a
            PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
           4975 tty1     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty1
           4976 tty2     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2
           6202 pts/0    Ss+    0:01 -bash
          10312 pts/1    Ss     0:00 -bash
            639 pts/1    R+     0:00 ps a

          First big S stands for Sleeping, R stands for running ("+" means that the process is foreground and small "s" means that the process is session leader, but it is not relevant for this article).

          D state occurs then the process is in uninterruptible sleep. This state is bad, because you can't do anything with the process in D state. Fortunately, process normally remains in such state not for so long. But if you have a heap of D state processes then some logic in system is disrupt. If that is happening, the very important thing is to determine where this unlucky sleep occurs. It is easy to do with ps command with l option. WCHAN column shows the name of the kernel function where the process is sleeping:

          # ps axl | grep D
          F   UID   PID  PPID PRI  NI    VSZ   RSS WCHAN  STAT TTY        TIME COMMAND
          vass     13478  7.2  0.0   1732   624 pts/1    D+   17:36   0:00 find ./
