I can confirm the bug. Besides generating a high CPU load, somehow new processes are created at a rate of 60 per second. I can't catch any fork from ifplugd, and the child processes die so fast it's impossible to see them in ps or top. /proc shows some of their pid direcories. The cpu eaten by ifplugd is proportional to the number of nonexistant interfaces. With 2 misconfigured ifaces, I get 25% cpu load. (I guess the load is generated by process creation) This was very hard to find out, as there are no logs, ps nor top doesn't help to idendify the greedy process.
regards -- ifplugd creates high load when configured interface isnt found https://launchpad.net/bugs/35583 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
