I am hosting a few IRC servers, eggdrop bots and a few apache websites (mainly my own), and the loads are already at 0.15 and so on. I last CVSupped on September 25th and cannot understand what is making my system loads go up so high. The only clue that I have is the large ammount of CPU time being taken by the eggdrop bots and a proccess called: root 5 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? DL 2Oct01 31:08.71 (syncer) Would that be enough to cause the system to have such high loads? Below is a copy of my uname -a: FreeBSD equinox.4evermail.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Tue Sep 25 14:36:10 EDT 2001 root@equinox.4evermail.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/EQUINOX i386 If there are any dmesg bits that you might find useful to look at, please shoot me an e-mail and I will be more than happy to supply them to you.
