First, - I am not a Gentoo user and I don't know what this configuration means > sys-fs/aufs2 -debug -hardened -inotify kernel-patch -nfs ramfs - As you might know, aufs2-0_p20100809 is too old and unsupported now (assuming it was released on 9 Aug 2010). - I don't what Dracut is and I'd suggest you to provide these info to show what your environemnt is clearly. (see below) And could you find which process is running continuously? eg. load average == 4 means, roughly speaking, you may have 4 processes heavily running. If you can identify the processes, then you can run "strace -p PID" and see the behaviour of the process and which systemcall is issued. I think this is the first step to see the cause of your load average. (from the aufs README) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you have any problems or strange behaviour in aufs, please let me know with: - /proc/mounts (instead of the output of mount(8)) - /sys/module/aufs/* - /sys/fs/aufs/* (if you have them) - /debug/aufs/* (if you have them) - linux kernel version if your kernel is not plain, for example modified by distributor, the url where i can download its source is necessary too. - aufs version which was printed at loading the module or booting the system, instead of the date you downloaded. - configuration (define/undefine CONFIG_AUFS_xxx) - kernel configuration or /proc/config.gz (if you have it) - behaviour which you think to be incorrect - actual operation, reproducible one is better - mailto: aufs-users at lists.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- J.
