Hi list, I am having difficulties with one of my boxes. Mainly this: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2262 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 25 0.0 836:51.10 flush-253:2 2363 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 25 0.0 838:28.16 flush-253:6 2364 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 25 0.0 916:14.92 flush-253:4 2365 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 25 0.0 855:02.50 flush-253:1 2362 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 23 0.0 916:14.92 flush-253:5 3090 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 23 0.0 853:27.24 flush-253:3 I was wondering what these flush processes are, I could determine they are kernel based threads (as far as I can see). Since they are called flush, I'd asume they have to do with flushing buffers or whatsoever, so I came to the conclusion, that the numbers might be major:minor pairs. Using lvs, I get: LV KMaj KMin Root 253 1 home 253 3 var 253 2 usr 253 5 usr.portage 253 4 www 253 6 And I certainly do not believe that there should be flush proceses hogging the CPU 24/7, and al those threads belong to logical volumes, or devie mapper devices (there are more, with a little les cpu time created by kpartx). Is this a known bug? Any recommendation what to do?
