Hello, I see the following on a dual PPro -stable; same sources (and config, apart form ethernet driver) on UP Athlon and SMP PIII work OK : ###### last pid: 259; load averages: 1.70, 1.63, 1.07 up 0+00:19:05 14:18:32 38 processes: 4 running, 34 sleeping CPU states: 9.6% user, 0.0% nice, 15.6% system, 25.6% interrupt, 49.3% idle Mem: 52M Active, 86M Inact, 39M Wired, 7068K Cache, 29M Buf, 572K Free Swap: 246M Total, 12K Used, 246M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 246 root 64 0 17976K 17548K RUN 1 96:14 57.13% 57.13% rsync 222 root 45 0 17740K 17300K RUN 1 225:05 34.52% 34.52% rsync 213 arno 31 0 5292K 1732K CPU1 1 0:43 10.11% 10.11% sshd 119 root 10 0 212K 28K nfsidl 0 164:34 1.32% 1.32% nfsiod 223 root 2 0 17720K 17292K select 0 2:04 0.73% 0.73% rsync 120 root 10 0 212K 28K nfsidl 0 0:10 0.20% 0.20% nfsiod 253 arno 28 0 1908K 996K CPU0 0 0:10 0.00% 0.00% top ###### box is up just 19 minutes, but top shows 96, 225, 164 minutes for various processes. This is just a backup-server and works OK; top -I -s1 shows seconds just going up as expected and then suddenly the minutes jump high. No problem other whatsoever, I vaguely remember -current has the same "problem" for some. FYI, Arno
