Hello,
Recently we got some trouble on some FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE servers
(GENERIC kernel). Some python scripts are working on these servers and
after a day or two we get 0% idle in the CPU states. After sometime,
the operating system will unable to do even simple task like resolving
DNS name and the zabbix process can not send outbound packets to the
remote monitoring server. Maybe the top is showing wrong load percent?
vmstat -i shows that some kind of irq0: clk has a maximum value of
1000. Does this matter?
Please advice how to debug this overload problem.
Thank you very much!
