[SLE] R: [SLE] No Luck Yet: System S L O W after upgrade



Hi LenZ and Ole,
tonight I examined top
while disk throttling: process "nobody" was doing a FIND , with priority 13
(16).

More, from the exam of /var/log/messages, it seems that my machine
effectively tries to launch a cron op (oops Ole!!, sorry) (never set by me)
and can't execute it as the resource searched is locked by a certain PID (I
seem 163).

After launching a generic /usr/sbin/cron, the disk stopped.
More, after "playing" a while with KDE supplied with the first release of
6.1, my machine (hardware is ok) stopped totally. I couldn't log from a
different tty and kill the "killer" process.

No particular problem as I'm only amusing with my Linux, and not working,
but...

Thanks and best regards,

Stefano

Did you check /var/log/messages? What about the answers to my other
questions? I need some more info :)

This should be the very last option. This is not windows, you know :)

Try to analyze this a bit more. I would be very interested in finding the
reason for this phenomenon.

Bye,
LenZ
