[-- Attachment #1 --] Greetings. Yesterday, i noticed a very weird behaviour on my computer (which is running 8.0-RC3 btw. The shells were not responding and the load was insane, and constantly going up. At the time i managed to lock myself out, the load was 84 and growing (i have a screenshot if anyone is interested). That happened last night. Today, the computer was ok and i managed to ssh into it. The root account was spammed with two types of cron mails. half of them said: mv: /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.2: No such file or directory and the other half said: override r-------- operator/operator for /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.2? (y/n [n]) not overwritten So i know that it's the save-entropy cron job, but i doubt that was supposed to happen, and i have never touched that directory. Anyone has an idea? ps. this has happened before, and i had to go to the place the computer is at and reset it. (the tty's did not respond either) -- Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
