Hi,
I'm having a strange problem, after 1 week(6 or 7 days) my RH9 server experience
a sudenly very high load.
The load raises to 14, then 20 and even 30.
When I run: $ uptime it looks like this: 10:11:25 up 6 days, 17:19, 2 users, load average: 49.26, 44.17, 35.31
I reboot the server and then all works with no problems.
The only not common thing I'm running is: openldap + nscd
Any clues?
Many thanks
Oliver
