Upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS, and I was surprised to see my load average at >= 2.00 for days.
OpenVZ virtual private server `lsb_release -a |grep Desc`: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS `uname -a`: Linux 2.6.32-042stab057.1 x86_64 `dpkg -l rsyslog`: 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 I used the solution suggested in comment #49 above by sdeziel; after disabling that module, rsyslogd is no longer hoarding CPU time, and load average has dropped. big question: after disabling 'imklog', is rsyslog now acquring *less* information than the Ubuntu 10.04 version? I'd like to know what I'm missing out on, if anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523610 Title: rsyslogd spins CPU on some kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/523610/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
