Hi,

I have a P4 3.2 linux server.

Every since I upgrade to centos 5.3 I see duplicates when running top -c like:

3 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.13 [ksoftirqd/0] 
4 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/0] 
5 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [migration/1] 
6 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.64 [ksoftirqd/1] 
7 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [watchdog/1]

94 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [khubd] 
96 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 [kseriod]

161 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:21.17 [pdflush]


I don't have watchdog installed either.

It seems my load has also gone up

How would I fix this so there are not duplicates running?


You have a dual core machine... Those duplicated processes are per CPU kernel threads...

This is entirely normal and was exactly the same on centos 5.2 before the upgrade... 

The only way to make the duplicates go away is to use a single core single processor...
