To those of you that may still be having this problem after upgrading to CentOS 6.8, here is a solution that I have found.
1. Create a directory called /etc/gamin 2. Create a file /etc/gamin/gaminrc and place this inside: fsset nfs none fsset reiserfs none fsset ext3 none fsset mvfs none fsset smbfs none fsset cifs none fsset autofs none 3. Save the file and kill the gam_server process. The gam_sever process will respawn and you should see your CPU utilization drop. I cannot take all of the credit here as I found this solution at: http://blog.isja.org/index.php?/archives/64-Getting-rid-of-gamin.html Cheers, Glenn. Glenn L.

Well, my few more thoughts resulted in no real progress. gamin is supposed to respond to a config file which should cure this. Of course, the "official" statements are that it doesn't need a config because it "just works" all of the time. My unofficial experiments suggest that although the config file ( which does not exist in most installations ) may exist and is read, it seems to be ignored. That, or my syntax is wrong. The documentation ( what there is ) is incomplete, so offering no help. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Uncle Ed's Rule of Thumb: Never use your thumb for a rule.
