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 19:53:46 150 processes: 15 running, 134 sleeping, 1 zombie CPU states: 0.3% user, 0.3% nice, 97.5% system, 1.9% interrupt, 0.0% idle 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% trackerd 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% dnscache 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% multilog 1272 Gdnslog 1 -8 0 3072K 656K piperd 0:20 0.00% multilog 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% tcpserver 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% multilog As you can see, there are a number of troubling indications. First, the load averages are off the scale (and I've seen them higher). Second, the CPU state 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 like an idiot. I'm in way over my head here. The only reason I went to this version was to try to correct problems interacting with my Treo (it didn't help) and I'm really looking forward to 7.0-RELEASE.
