Software RAID (non-preempt) server blocking question. (2.6.20.4)

I ran a check on my SW RAID devices this morning. However, when I did so,
I had a few lftp sessions open pulling files. After I executed the check,
the lftp processes entered 'D' state and I could do 'nothing' in the
process until the check finished. Is this normal? Should a check block
all I/O to the device and put the processes writing to a particular device
in 'D' state until it is finished?
Justin.
