--nextPart1566894.H284bxpaj1 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Greetings. Yesterday, i noticed a very weird behaviour on my computer (which is runnin= g=20 8.0-RC3 btw. The shells were not responding and the load was insane, and constantly=20 going up. At the time i managed to lock myself out, the load was 84 and=20 growing (i have a screenshot if anyone is interested). That happened last night. Today, the computer was ok and i managed to ssh=20 into it. The root account was spammed with two types of cron mails. half of them said: mv: /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.2: No such file or directory and the other half said: override r-------- operator/operator for /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.2?= =20 (y/n [n]) not overwritten So i know that it's the save-entropy cron job, but i doubt that was suppose= d=20 to happen, and i have never touched that directory. Anyone has an idea? ps. this has happened before, and i had to go to the place the computer is = at=20 and reset it. (the tty's did not respond either) =2D-=20 Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard= to=20 understand. --nextPart1566894.H284bxpaj1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAksALIoACgkQBPpdVEWKA30ePACggunlJAgQgZel542rqVwuPHB+ hf8AoLlWyY7uSDjmK3Cn23GFkfiOqJ7A =OhvX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1566894.H284bxpaj1--
