uninterruptible sleep

Hi,

I'm use postgresql 6.5.3 on RedHat 6.1. To monitor the perfomance of
the system I use top. When I run VACUUM ANALYZE in psql monitor top
shows sometimes the state of postmaster as D. "man top" says that D in STAT
column is "uninterruptible sleep". Is this normal?

Best regards,
Alex
