Is it still possible to use healthd or mbmon? By the way, I'm 100% sure that the problem is with the CPU load. Here is the output of top: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 2266 monica 1 110 0 16268K 11088K RUN 1 17:22 22.85% gnome-volume-manage 1258 edit 1 110 0 16268K 11000K RUN 1 19:08 22.75% gnome-volume-manage 1658 mariann 1 109 0 16320K 11260K RUN 1 18:30 22.56% gnome-volume-manage 1528 mtamas 1 109 0 16268K 11068K RUN 1 18:49 22.41% gnome-volume-manage 1244 timea 1 110 0 16268K 11000K CPU1 1 19:07 22.36% gnome-volume-manage 1251 monica 1 110 0 16268K 11000K RUN 1 18:44 22.07% gnome-volume-manage 1268 zoltan 1 109 0 16268K 11000K RUN 1 18:52 21.78% gnome-volume-manage This server is an X terminal server and the users connect to it with 'X -query <ip>'. Can I do something to reduce the load on the CPU? "gnome-volume-manage" uses 99% of the CPU, constantly - why? > --Alex > > PS Many disks which support SMART can display their apparent temp as > one of the SMART parameters (see sysutils/smartmontools).
