Sorry again for the only marginal relation to asterisk, but the issue does affect the voice performance I am experiencing, so I am soothing my guilt with that.
Bet you don't see this every day: ast% uptime 13:48:08 up 981 days, 18:29, 1 user, load average: 1.08, 1.02, 1.01 ast% I *REALLY* want this machine to see 1000 days uptime, if for nothing other than bragging rights. Its been through mysql and asterisk upgrades, a horrible hacking nightmare that very nearly made me reboot, and several power outages where the batteries lasted JUST long enough to keep her up. After all of this, I find I may have to reboot after all. Because there is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] process running, consuming 100% CPU (note the load average), and I cannot seem to kill it: ast% ps auxw | grep modprobe root 17744 99.9 0.0 2688 412 ? RN Nov03 23223:01 modprobe -r ipt_state ast% ps ealx | grep modprobe | grep -v grep 4 0 17744 1 39 19 2688 412 - RN ? 23223:38 modprobe -r ipt_state ast% sudo kill 17744 ast% sudo kill 17744 ast% sudo kill -9 17744 ast% sudo kill -9 17744 ast% !ps ps ealx | grep modprobe | grep -v grep 4 0 17744 1 39 19 2688 412 - RN ? 23224:41 modprobe -r ipt_state ast% You may also notice that I tried "renice" to bump it all the way to +19 and still it consumes 100% of the CPU. The result for asterisk is that I hear bits of robot noise during conversations, which is annoying as hell but not neccessarily show stopping. But for another 19 days?? Argg! I assume that because it is 'modprobe' it has tickled some kernel bug that is merrily spinning away and won't respond to interrupts. I even tried to stop it with gdb and strace, both of which also hung and had to be killed with -9. It seems to be related to me screwing with the iptables a few weeks ago. Any ideas other than rebooting?
