Nate suggested to not swap on both wd and sd, so I removed swapping on scsi disks. After a week (3 hours/day) I didn't see anything and I decided to update my binaries (I couldn't resist). And the thing was there: installing float.h floatingpoint.h stdarg.h varargs.h ===> rpcsvc cd /usr/src/include/rpcsvc ; rpcgen -h yp.x -o /usr/src/include/rpcsvc/obj/yp.h Installing RPC service header and definition files yp.x stopped for more than an hour, system is still alive and top reports: load averages: 1.26, 1.10, 1.03 22:40:54 39 processes: 1 running, 38 sleeping Cpu states: 9.9% user, 0.0% nice, 8.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 82.1% idle Mem: 7576K Active, 1540K Inact, 3788K Wired, 1460K Cache, 1591K Buf, 284K Free Swap: 33M Total, 13M Used, 20M Free, 39% Inuse ... 63 root 2 0 176K 96K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% routed 100 root 2 0 204K 60K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% inetd 110 root 2 0 196K 0K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% 90 daemon 2 0 176K 0K select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% 717 root -6 0 152K 200K piperd 0:00 0.00% 0.00% tee 1754 root -20 0 480K 136K subpro 0:00 0.00% 0.00% sh kill -9 1754 returns but the process is still here. ^C gave me the prompt back, but didn't kill the process anymore. root 1754 0.0 0.8 480 108 p1 D 9:28PM 0:00.02 /bin/sh -ec cd /usr/src/include/rpcsvc; cmp -s klm_prot.x /usr/include/rpcsvc/klm_prot.x || (install -c -m 444 -o bin -g bin klm_prot.x /usr/include/rpcsvc; echo klm_prot.x) -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
