What does D means for?
D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO), Once the process goes to this state, you can not wakeup the process. The state itself means that you can interrupt the process.

Can I kill the process D?
I tried to kill them with "kill -9 PID", but to no avail. It can be killed or cleard only when you reboot the machine.
