SL6.1, newest kernel+all fixes For some months we discover a slowdown of selected machines ever 80-90 machines. There is high CPU load and the machine is getting less responsive for a few seconds up to one or two minutes. No process are running on high load - only CPU load in atop is high.
Affected machines are Core I7 on ASUS P6T and Core2 Duo on ASUS P5K. After checking a hundred of things we isolated the problem to the polling of a DVD drive and polling of USB card readers. When disabling the polling in HAL and UDEV the problems disappear. But in my understanding the polling is done every 2 seconds - can there be a race condition every 80-90 minutes? Any idea? Thank you in advance!
