--Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all, My system, running 7.0BETA4, is periodically responding extremely slowly. Rebooting seems to resolve the problem, but I also had to deinstall console-kit-daemon because it was, more often than not, provoking a kernel page fault during start-up. You can find all the information I can think of to describe the system and its troubles at: http://www.parts-unknown.org/systems/lupin.cybernude.org/ Unfortunately, this web server is the afflicted system, so you might have trouble getting the information if it happens to be going through this. But the last time, I did manage to record the top output: last pid: 86007; load averages: 65.16, 59.96, 52.63 up 0+09:17:16 19:5= 3:46 150 processes: 15 running, 134 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 0.3% user, 0.3% nice, 97.5% system, 1.9% interrupt, 0.0% id= le Mem: 340M Active, 602M Inact, 227M Wired, 32M Cache, 112M Buf, 298M Free Swap: 17G Total, 16K Used, 17G Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 2206 benfell 3 4 19 39844K 24728K fifoor 119:25 3173.58% trac= kerd 85943 benfell 1 8 20 19112K 16440K wait 0:01 6.93% perl5.= 8.8 1205 qmails 1 128 0 3072K 1236K RUN 7:32 2.78% qmail-= send 77799 cvsupin 1 130 10 6376K 5780K RUN 0:43 1.03% cvsup 85991 benfell 1 -8 20 5904K 3504K piperd 0:00 0.39% perl5.= 8.8 1273 Gdnscache 1 96 0 4096K 2212K RUN 0:43 0.10% dnscac= he 2381 root 1 137 10 3500K 1892K RUN 1:54 0.00% zsh 1208 qmaill 1 -8 0 3072K 656K piperd 0:32 0.00% multil= og 1272 Gdnslog 1 -8 0 3072K 656K piperd 0:20 0.00% multil= og 1215 root 1 131 0 3072K 656K select 0:14 0.00% qmail-= lspa 1277 haldaemon 1 96 0 19484K 4576K select 0:10 0.00% hald 2382 root 1 -8 10 144M 142M pipewr 0:10 0.00% find 1577 root 1 96 0 3208K 848K select 0:10 0.00% moused 1217 qmailq 1 -8 0 3072K 632K piperd 0:07 0.00% qmail-= clea 1216 qmailr 1 96 0 3072K 764K select 0:06 0.00% qmail-= rspa 1207 qmaild 1 20 0 2944K 1208K pause 0:06 0.00% tcpser= ver 1224 Gtinydns 1 4 0 2480K 716K sbwait 0:05 0.00% tinydns 1206 qmaill 1 -8 0 3072K 656K piperd 0:03 0.00% multil= og As you can see, there are a number of troubling indications. First, the lo= ad averages are off the scale (and I've seen them higher). Second, the CPU st= ate is 97.5% system. Third, check out the "WCPU" figure for trackerd. The WCPU figure is similar to that I previously saw with javavm. I managed= to make that problem go away by not allowing firefox to run java. If I'm going to do any debugging here, you're going to have to treat me lik= e an idiot. I'm in way over my head here. The only reason I went to this versi= on was to try to correct problems interacting with my Treo (it didn't help) an= d I'm really looking forward to 7.0-RELEASE.
