I supposed there might be a process in Uninterruptible sleep (D state).
Check which process is this: ps -eo state,pid,cmd | grep "^D
This zombie process is weird and you should check which process is it.
The output you pasted doesn't show the whole picture.
If it's BIG-IP, you can try running this script:
#!/usr/bin/python import commands import time import re # 300 seconds = 5 minutes MAX_TIME_RUNNING = 600 start = time.time() def get_d_processes(): ''' Returns a List of Uninterrupted Processes. Each Uninterrupted Process is a List containing state, pid and cmd ''' output = commands.getoutput("ps -eo state,pid,cmd | grep '^D'").split('\n') for index, process in enumerate(output): output[index] = process.strip().split(' ', 2) output[index] = re.sub(r' +', ' ', ' '.join(output[index])).split(' ', 2) return output def get_rw_io_by_pid(pid): ''' Returns a tuple with read_bytes and write_bytes ''' return commands.getoutput('cat /proc/%s/io' % pid) def lsof(pid): ''' Returns ''' return commands.getoutput('lsof -p %s' % pid) while True: top = open('/shared/tmp/top.txt', 'ab') top.write('--------------------------\n') top.write(commands.getoutput('date') + '\n') top.write('--------------------------\n') top.write(commands.getoutput('top -Hcbn 1') + '\n') file = open('/shared/tmp/processes.txt', 'ab') all_d_processes = get_d_processes() # if there is no process to check, we skip below code if '' != all_d_processes[0][0]: file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write(commands.getoutput('date') + '\n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write ('All D processes: \n') file.write(commands.getoutput("ps -eo state,pid,cmd | grep '^D'") + '\n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write('current top IO: \n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write(commands.getoutput('top -Hcbn 1 | head -6') + '\n') for process in all_d_processes: file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write('Process: \n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write(' '.join(process) + '\n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write('cat /proc/%s/io output: \n' % process[1]) file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write(get_rw_io_by_pid(process[1]) + '\n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write('lsof -p %s output: \n' % process[1] + '\n') file.write('--------------------------\n') file.write(lsof(process[1]) + '\n') time.sleep(10) if time.time() > start + MAX_TIME_RUNNING: file.close() top.close() break
Have a look at /shared/tmp/processes.txt and the output should be something like this:
