massive load caused by smartvd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hey all,

 I noticed that my puppet server running CentOS 6.5 was acting a little
pokey.

  So I logged in and did what well just about anyone would've done. And ran
the uptime command to have a look at the load. And it was astonishingly
high!

[root@puppet:~] #uptime
 21:28:01 up  1:26,  3 users,  load average: 107.37, 72.06, 75.52


So then I had a look at top and saw a LOT of processes by the name of
smartvd.

So my question to you is what the HELL is smartvd ? Seems like a virus to
me. And of course how do I get rid of it?

Also curious what whitptabil is and how to get rid of it.

I tried doing a search for both:

[root@puppet:~] #rpm -qa | grep smartvd
[root@puppet:~] #

[root@puppet:~] #find / -name smartvd
[root@puppet:~] #

[root@puppet:~] #rpm -qa | grep whitptabil
[root@puppet:~] #find / -name whitptabil
/etc/whitptabil
[root@puppet:~] #

At least I found a file associated with the latter.


Really really curious here, guys. What do y'all think???

Thanks
Tim
