[ILUG] RAID driver

Hi,

We've a box here with RH9 on it and some hardware RAID.  When we look a t the machines load its always 1.00 (or very close) despite the fact that we aren't running anything on it yet.

Looking through "ps aux" we found this

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root        19  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        DW   11:12   0:00 [aarich watchdog]

This looks odd, having a process in state DW. It seems to always be in this state.  Googleing for "aarich watchdog" turns up another guy having the same problem but without a resolution.

Any tips/pointers very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg
