I suspect i found the processes that are causing the problem: root 30439 1 0 Jul19 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/updatedb -f NFS,SMBFS,N root 951 1 0 Jul20 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/updatedb -f NFS,SMBFS,N root 3886 1 0 Jul21 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/updatedb -f NFS,SMBFS,N root 13318 1 0 Jul22 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/updatedb -f NFS,SMBFS,N I tried killing them (even with -9) but they are still there :( I'll have to try to upgrade the kernel to this version (or even better to 2.4.18smp) but i'll need to check first for some app compatibility). Thanks for your help.
