Hi, since some weeks I have trouble with a background running task on my 2 home- servers and my desktops (all are Tumbleweed based). On all this machines the task is running with 100% CPU load (about some hours up to one day). Additional the LOG consumes partly > 30GB and blocks my server (due to 95% of the root memory are used)! Any idea to remove this crazy task w/o any impact to the main functionality. Remark: Seams that this task is repeated about daily. Main Server: # ls -lh /var/log/pk_backend_zypp* -rw-r----- 1 root root 4.2M Sep 26 20:17 pk_backend_zypp -rw-r----- 1 root root 1.2G Sep 24 15:30 pk_backend_zypp.gz -rw-r----- 1 root root 7.2G Sep 26 09:14 pk_backend_zypp-1 Remark: pk_backend_zypp.gz was zipped due to the huge size of 30GB, to fix the root out of space problem (so the btrfs based root and /var have 64GB size). Similar on my desktop: # ls -lh /var/log/pk_backend_zypp* -rw-r----- 1 root root 19G Sep 27 21:24 /var/log/pk_backend_zypp -rw-r----- 1 root root 21G Sep 27 00:27 /var/log/pk_backend_zypp-1 ??? My Old Server: # ls -lh /var/log/pk_backend_zypp* -rw-r----- 1 root root 5.1M Apr 2 2020 /var/log/pk_backend_zypp Ulf

Seems to be packagekit. I don't use TW, but I always remove it. -- Saludos/Cheers Carlos E. R.
