Full Discussion: When a process will go to 'D' state?
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users When a process will go to 'D' state? Post 302538932 by Corona688 on Thursday 14th of July 2011 02:04:15 PM

D means device driver. The process is suspended while it waits for a system call of some sort to finish, often a read() or write(). It's unkillable in this state.

lockd is part of the kernel, not truly a process. I think it's part of the kernel system that handles nfs. The message about lockd you see is related to NFS problems.

Maybe this will help you:

Debian User Forums • View topic - kernel: lockd: cannot monitor

Anyway, NFS is a very elderly protocol by now and has a few unsolvable flaws, you might consider alternatives like CIFS.
