I have a Solaris 8 system running Amanda that ginds to a hault when the backups are running. Amanda and the sub processes take all avliable CPU. This is dispite having compression set to none (using tape device). It is primarily the snedbackup, dumper and ufsrestore processes that are causing trhe issue.
Any suggestions for stopping this would be much appreciated. load averages: 2.21, 2.21, 2.02 17:48:54 142 processes: 131 sleeping, 5 running, 1 zombie, 4 stopped, 1 on cpu CPU states: 0.0% idle, 13.7% user, 76.9% kernel, 9.3% iowait, 0.0% swap Memory: 768M real, 13M free, 729M swap in use, 3911M swap free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 10563 amanda 1 22 0 2232K 936K sleep 5:32 35.03% sendbackup 10476 amanda 1 0 19 2640K 1920K run 2:26 15.04% dumper 10568 amanda 1 32 0 11M 9928K sleep 1:49 12.55% ufsrestore 10572 amanda 1 48 0 11M 2864K run 0:47 5.20% ufsdump 10571 amanda 1 53 0 11M 2864K run 0:48 5.16% ufsdump 10573 amanda 1 48 0 11M 2872K run 0:47 4.64% ufsdump 10574 amanda 1 36 0 11M 3072K sleep 0:32 3.53% ufsdump 10570 amanda 1 48 0 11M 7520K sleep 0:20 1.89% ufsdump 10646 root 1 58 0 2104K 1208K cpu 0:01 0.35% top Simon
