Hi all, Sometimes i get some weird situation: my comp is overloaded by something, hard disk is working constantly, computer almost is not responding to anything. I run top utility to see what is going on, i have included piped output of that(part of it) I remember i got similar overload in the past , showing large usage of kupdate process, but now it seems to be sleeping ... if it shows you 95% cpu idle.... i dont understand it.. p.s. my copmuter got back to normal work now., but sometimes it takes longer time for it, may be i have some problem with resourse allocation... i would then appreciate if you directed my somewhere i can learn about it. thank you
