Generally speaking, no, but I have sometimes seen that if a single thread of a multi-threaded process gets into this state, killing all the other threads before the one that is in D state sometimes manages to kill off the process (but it isn't very reliable). Also, if systemd thinks that process is somehow part of something it desperately needs to wait for, you might not be able to shutdown cleanly either. Might want to use the -f option on systemctl poweroff to force a shutdown while still trying to get the local disks synced properly. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
