similar to: SMBD using nearly 100 percent CPU

I am running centos 4.2 on a P4 3 GIG with 2 GIG ram. This machine has been fine for months. my laptop is fine. X is taking 99 percent of the cpu after some time. All I was doing was editing code. If I killall -9 X it comes back for a while then maxes out again. Any ideas on something to tweek??? THanks, jerry ------------ Tasks: 120 total, 2 running, 118 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

Hi, I have a P4 3.2 linux server. Every since I upgrade to centos 5.3 I see duplicates when running top - c like: 3 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.13 [ksoftirqd/0] 4 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/0] 5 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [migration/1] 6 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.64 [ksoftirqd/1] 7 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/1] 8 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0

Hi, I just upgraded to CentOS 5.3 last night and see these duplicate commands (migration/0, migration/1) when running top -c? Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it to make only one command show up? 1 root 15 0 2064 592 512 S 0.0 0.0 0:03.40 init [3] 2 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [migration/0] 3 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [ksoftirqd/0] 4 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00

Hi 2 all ! I have problems with concurrent filesystem actions on a ocfs2 filesystem which is mounted by 2 nodes. OS=RH5ES and OCFS2=1.2.6 F.e.: If I have a LV called testlv which is mounted on /mnt on both servers and I do a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.a bs=1024 count=1000000" on server 1 and do at the same time a du -hs /mnt/test.a it takes about 5 seconds for du -hs to execute: 270M

I'm seeing some strange results from top on CentOS 4.0. When it first starts, it reports low CPU usage. The next refresh (and subsequent) refreshes, it shows high CPU usage. In both cases, there is nothing shown in the process list that is using much CPU. What is causing this? Here is some truncated output from a single run of "top -b -n 2":

List, The past few days the asterisk service on my server has crashed several times. I have had it running for months and have made no changes to it. When it crashes, I am unable to make calls or gain access to the CLI. The service has been stopped. If I try to start it again (service asterisk start), it will start and run for a few seconds then crash again. After a reboot, it will run

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions: 1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally

Hi, This morning I had some failed calls. On the console (and in the log) I saw the error "Unable to allocate channel structure". Before I restarted the process, I checked it's memory usage in ps and glanced at my free memory in top. Asterisk was using a normal ammount of memory, about 40M. I don't think this was a system limit. This was running Asterisk v1.0.2. Below is

System requirements for CentOS 5 minimal installation (console and ssh) are....128 MB ram, 256...? I can't find this information in rhel5 installation manual.

It looks like my CentOS 4.2 box is attacking other people with some type of ftp attack. I got an email from somebody saying they were being attacked by my IP address. Further investigation /var/log/messages shows a whole bunch of sshd attacks on me, none of which appear successful. I'm running ethereal right now and I can see that my system is doing some kind of ftp attacks on others.

Its been looking like this pretty much all day ... top shows nothing major, and the drive looks reaonably quiet ... there is nothing in messages to indicate a problem that I can see (even those enclosure messages have been reasonably quiet) ... What consumes SYS CPU? Stuff like apache and jakarta-tomcat use up USER CPU, correct? neptune# iostat 5 tty aacd0 pass0
