You can check to see what is the parent process, and if possible you can kill or restart the parent process (as long as the parent process is not the root process).

In the case of remote mounts causing the D state, you can check the parent networking process and decide how to proceed.

Some people have tried to be creative as follows:

Determine the zombie & parent PIDs. (in this example let's say the zombie's PID 3200 and the parent's PID 3100)
Start gdb and attach to the parent in this example , attach 3200
Call waitpid for the zombie process:, for example call waitpid(3100,0,0)
Detach from the parent (detach) and exit the debugger.

Update: Fixed typos (I think!)
