All of those are associated with the Linux kernel and related subsystems. If the machine has a large number of CPU cores, there is nothing abnormal about what you are describing. You should see an xfslogd process for each XFS filesystem, and many of those other processes you have listed should have one process per CPU core. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

thats all quite normal for a system with a large number of cpu's. on my 48 core boxes, there are more than 700 processes running when its idling :-) this is just the system managing the IO/etc between the cpus and the other subsystems. --- michael On 09/22/2011 09:30 AM, R.

[Bacula-users] How many active processes should Bacula spawn? Seeing over 400+
I have Bacula 5.0.2 installed and have a number of clients (15 in total) and storage resources (5 total), and on the system that my director is installed on has about 433 active processes. This seems very excessive. The vast, vast majority of them are these processes: watchdog/n ksoftirqd/n migration/n events/n kblocked/n cqueue/n aio/n ata/n kmpathd/n xfslogd/n ib_cm/n rpciod/n Where "n" is some number between 0 and 23.
