D and uninterruptable sleep
Dec 11, 2024 - ⧖ 1 minHtop
I recently have been having significant home server issues, and that's not the point of this - today I learned what D
state is when looking at htop.
Apparently this means "uninterruptable sleep" and it's a dev's nightmare...
Context
The issue I was having was that some zfs rollback
commands were hung - for hours... I wasn't sure what was going on, rollbacks should be instant but I figured it was just an artifact of these issues.
Turns out I still don't know what locked the disks up but I learned why <C>-c
did nothing...
