For some reason, Samba has decided to spawn literally hundreds of processed which are now in "D" state (not sure what that means).
man ps /state "D Uninterruptible sleep (Usually IO)" You can't interrupt processes in uninterruptible states I fear. Check if there are any outstanding updates for kernel/filesystems or samba - as you shouldn't hit this sort of problem - honest. As I understand it in certain system calls most *nix systems can't terminate nicely, so they aren't allowed to terminate at all, which is find till the call never returns. Simon
