Accumulating "Auth_imap" Processes in D state
Hi,
I'm having a problem with auth_imap. Seems there's a bunch of
accumulating auth_imap processes that are getting stuck in the D state.
When I checked the proc in /proc/[PID], they all appear to be from the
same user's directory., which we have setup on an NFS drive. Has anyone
run into this problem before and know how I can get rid of the D state
proc's without rebooting the server? It doesn't seem to be affecting
service yet, but I'd like to "normalize" the server state for monitoring
purposes.

Regards,
Ed Dela Cruz
