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.

NAME
notificationconf -- configures how aosnotifyd responds to the NSServerNotificationCenter api
SYNOPSIS
notificationconf command [command_args]
DESCRIPTION
notificationconf is a utility to configure the push notification client functionality. The functionality is accessed by programs using the
NSServerNotification api, and this utility configures options for aosnotifyd that are outside the scope of the api.
USAGE
You must specify a command to select a specific function to perform. Each command accepts its own arguments.
COMMAND SUMMARY
Here are brief descriptions of all the notificationconf commands:
setpass hostname username
Configures a password and user name in the keychain that aosnotifyd can use to access a notification server. It prompts for the
password.
removepass hostname
Removes the keychain entry for the specified server
usessl hostname
Forces the client to use an SSL connection to the specified server. The server must have a certificate the client will validate.
nossl hostname
Sets the client back to the default state of not using an SSL connection for the specified server.
createnode hostname nodename username
Creates a node on the server to send notifications using. Before a client can subscribe to notifications with a given name, the
server must be configured with a node with a matching name. A user name is specified and the tool prompts for a password. This user
must have permissions to create notification nodes on the server.
