https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=245711 ------- Comment #29 from eich@novell.com 2007-05-17 10:17 MST ------- Arrgh! What a coincidence: right after i was done with this I hit this problem myself. Thanks to the detailed analysis in this ticket I was able to recover my server (no I didn't have my patch installed :( ). It seems as if the process is hanging in the syscall as it never gets scheduled. Instead the itimer gets called quite a high rate producing the cpu load. disabling the timer immediately recovers the system. This was the first time I have hit this problem and I really don't like to reproduce it on my production system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
