Summary is basically NO you can not interupt a non-interuptable
state. I was told to look at
1.) Scsi terminators--------> They are properly terminated
2.) Cable connections--------> Connected
3.) NFS mounted disks-------> this might be the
culprit I am mounting disks from a
DEC 5000/240 with a prestoserve board is it
possible that this is to fast for the
sparc2? I will try to see if it only
happens on NFS disks from that cpu.

Is there a way to interupt a process that has the status D
--- this is the status for non-interuptable ----
D Processes in non-interruptible waits;
typically short-term waits for disk
I have had tape drive jobs hang, give the process of D,
and then I have to reboot system to clear process/ drive
I have tried powering off drive, kill -(*)
where (*) was everthing I got from kill -l
I would appreciate any help on this. The system is a sparc2
running SunOS 4.1.1
Tapedrives in question are cipher 1/2 inch and 8mm xbyte.
I have also had IDL die the same way.
