Ubuntu Servers :: Notice Very High Cpu-ram-disk Usage?

Aug 19, 2010

I am running latest apache2 available in the lucid repos on my desktop. All packages are updated as of this moment. Now in the root of my web server I have placed several soft links that point to folders on another ext3/ntfs partitions on the same disk. When I try to download any large file (say above 500M)on this server using firefox, when the 'save' window appears, my desktop freezes, I notice very high cpu-ram-disk usage, even though I have not yet clicked on 'ok' to save the file. This issue is not present when the file size is small. Note that firefox and the webserver are running on the same computer.

Also I have tried nginx and lighttpd and the issue is present there as well. When I tried downloading the same files using Internet Explorer 6.0 using a XP VM the issue is not present. However on Windows as well using Firefox the issue recurs.

Debian Hardware :: High CPU Usage During Disk IO / Is This Normal?

Feb 23, 2010

I have two pc's that I've recently converted to Lenny boxes, and I've noticed that whenever there's a lot of disk IO, one of my cores (both pc's have dual core cpu's) jump to 100%. Is this normal? They're both amd64, and I think both of them should be using the AHCI SATA driver.

If you need any more information about my setup, let me know.

Security :: Hard Disk Memory Usage Weirdly High

Apr 2, 2010

i am having a problem that i would call a bit "important" with my server. so, from last 3 weeks the used space of my hard disk (RAID I) started growing up. i have 2 x 1 tb HDD working on RAID I and i did not install anything those weeks. the space just started changing from 90 GB till 580 GB. now the situation is stable there but i think it's not normal.

the bandwidth usage is low (like 120 gb in 2 months) and i am running 6 counter strike gameservers, a forum, a very little website and some local stuffs... a friend of mine told me that my server could have been hacked but i am afraid it did... some useful informations: when i reboot the server the used space goes down again to ~100 GB and then it starts going up again. i cant really find where all those files are located:

Fedora Servers :: High CPU Usage When Starting Services On FC11?

May 9, 2010

so my server is doing fine, but there is one odd thing I would like to fix. When I start and stop services, the CPU is maxed out for about five seconds each time. The services start the same speed, but it still does this. Small things like lm_sensors don't do this, just things like httpd and sendmail. THis server was upgraded to Fedora 11 with a netinstall CD a few months ago.

Ubuntu :: High RAM Usage Vs. High CPU Usage

Jul 19, 2011

I am running 10.10 on a netbook (1.6Ghz Atom N270, 2GB RAM). Because it has limited resources, I am currently testing to see which apps I want to use.

Which should take more priority -- an application that uses less RAM or an application that uses less CPU?

Ubuntu Servers :: IOwait High, No Disk Writes, Server Hangs?

Jul 24, 2011

I run a website that a very steady flow of traffic and Im seeing recent issues that I just dont like. Server is 10.04.2 on a supermicro i7-950/6gb RAM with two 500gb Samsung F3 drives in a software RAID1 (1x5400, 1x7200) and for several weeks, its been running very well. Recently, Im seeing the server hang for 5-20 seconds. IOwait goes through the roof, nothing can write to the disk. Apache logs stop, redis fails to rebuild caches, mysql errors and then it continues and moves back to normal operation

/ is ext4, the kernel was 2.6.32-server-x64 but since updating to 2.6.38-server-x64, the issue has dropped from maybe once per 10 minutes to once per 15 minutes. 3 IOstat copy/pastes show this when it hangs.

Code:

Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 0.00 B/s
TID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND

[code]...

No smart errors or smart diags show any issues with any of the disks and kernel.log shows near nothing other than a process hang, 120 seconds about 5 days ago.

Ubuntu Servers :: Disk Usage Rising On Dell Poweredge 1900?

Feb 16, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 8.04LTS x64 on a Dell Poweredge 1900 with a Perc 5i RAID Controller. There are 3 500Gb SAS drives in a RAID 5 configuration. The Kernel is Linux dtpfs 2.6.24-27-server #1 SMP Wed Jan 27 23:39:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Approximately once every 1 - 2 months I have a problem where the disk usage starts to rise for no apparent reason. When I run df the usage grows steadily over 2-3 days from 26% to 100%. At this point Samba reports that the disks are full. Baobab does not report the additional usage and the tape backup ignores the 'extra' usage and just backs up what was previously there. When I reboot the machine the usage is set back to normal and we can continue.

Fedora :: Hidden Disk Space Usage \ Can't Figure Out Where The Runaway Usage Is?

Dec 10, 2010

I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:

Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Ubuntu :: High CPU Usage In Kubuntu (9.10)?

Feb 12, 2010

I'm running desktop machine with with a core2 duo E6400 with 2GB RAM. I have completed a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 (fully updated). I have 10GB root, 2GB swap, 10GB home and 80GB data parititons.

I log in to main administrator account (first boot), create a new user (desktop) account and then use the switch user to log into the desktop account (so logged in to two accounts at the same time).

Whilst logged into the desktop account the CPU usage as seen in system monitor shows the two CPU's alternating at around 100% and the system slows down greatly.

Ubuntu :: High X CPU Usage When Using KDE Programs (10.04)?

May 12, 2010

I have recently upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. I am having trouble with CPU usage by the X server. When running KDE programs (for example Kontact and Amarok) my computer is becoming very sluggish. This seems to be because X is using 90-100% of the CPU constantly when there are any changes to the application (any sort of redraw, even the mouse moving across the screen). I don't experience this with other applications (I am currently writing this from Chromium with no issues at all). Below is all the relevant information I can think to include.

INSTALL PROCESS: Fresh install from Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD. My /home direrctory is on a separate partition so that has remained unchanged from 9.10. After installing Ubuntu, I installed the kubuntu-desktop package to install kdm and the KDE desktop.

The only real change from my last install is that /var is now also a separate partition (in a bid to save my MySQL data should I have to reinstall again) but it is on the same hard drive as my root partition and so shouldn't be causing any performance issues.

MY X SETUP: Three screen setup using onboard and PCI graphics cards. This worked perfectly before and, after reconfiguring X using nvidia-xconfig works almost as well again. Except that one of my monitors autodetects at 1280x1024 where before it was a higher (and widescreen) resolution.

The issue only presents itself when KDE application screens are visible and disappears when they are hidden (either minimised or closed) As far as Ican tell it could be an X, Qt or KDE issue. But I am not sure what versions of these will have been changed in the upgrade.

Ubuntu :: High Memory Usage Under 64 Bit?

Jul 11, 2010

My problem seems to be very simple, it's high memory usage. I occasionally will use movie player to watch a few shows and I use firefox as well. My memory usage starts out real small about 500 mb but after using firefox lightly and movie player it jumps to almost 2 gigs and this is after they've been closed what gives? I've attached an image so you can see what I'm talking about.

Ubuntu :: Very High RAM Usage On Startup - 800 MB?

Aug 2, 2010

I don't understand why I have a 800MB usage at startup. I didn't add any programs to start at startup. I do though have 10 primary partitions that are auto mounted at startup but it shouldn't use up so much, I have 2GB total RAM.

At startup nautilus uses ~400MB of virtual memory in the "system monitor"

Also which is RAM and which is SWAP in resources in system monitor: Virtual Memory && Memory?

-i figure vm is ram but thats not possible sometimes...it exceeds 2GB

Ubuntu :: OpenGL Causes High Cpu Usage

Apr 1, 2011

I play RuneScape most of the time i'm on the computer and i always keep an eye on the performance. Yesterday and the days before, everything was going good, cpu usage it was causing was between 30 and 60%, now it wont go below 70%. It's always 70-99% for some reason :s i have set settings for graphics to OpenGL (they were like that before too with no problem) and it started causing high cpu usage. If i set it to Safe Mode in graphics settings it gets 100%, I never tweaked the drivers, i have a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT, i have the opengl thingies installed along with my nvidia driver. Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.

Ubuntu :: Seems Slow In Some Areas - High CPU Usage?

Jun 15, 2010

I've been using Ubuntu consistently for about three days now. I really, really love the interface and how everything works and all that, but I've been having a couple of weird problems with speed.

Graphics things seem to work really well. When I go into the overview of all my workspaces, it's instant and looks great. The problem is when I open and use some applications.

For example, when I open up the software center, it takes longer than it did the first time to start up. Also, when I drag windows off from being maximized, it takes literally about five seconds for it to show up as being dragged around by my mouse.

When I look at the system monitor, about 20% of my CPU cores are constantly being used. That's 20% each. I have a 3-core CPU, could that be the problem?

Another example: when I went to ..... just now, it would take a second for any volume changes in the video to register.

And I also have smooth scrolling in firefox, but it's very unresponsive now. It's slow as all hell. Even notifications are showing up more slowly.

So, what's the deal? What could I have done wrong?

CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 2.8Ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4860 1gb
RAM: 4gb

One more thing: I have really bad screen tearing when I try to move windows around, as if there isn't any vsync on. Where can I turn it on or fix this?

I'm still pretty new to Ubuntu and Linux, but I'm an advanced computer user. Since I feel linux is killing my CPU I think I'm going to boot back into Windows 7 for now, but if I can fix this problem I think I want to keep Ubuntu as my main OS after this, having Windows for games, unless I can get Wine to work right with them.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: High CPU Usage With ALSA?

Jun 30, 2010

OSS, even though it's emulated *through* ALSA, consumes a microscopic fraction of straight ALSA's CPU usage. For example, when I'm playing something through ALSA with XMMS2, I'm getting about 25-30% CPU usage, but with OSS output, only 2%, tops. The same applies to any other application in which I can choose the output method. And, I'm on 10.04.

Ubuntu :: Intermittent High RAM Usage On Startup

Jul 12, 2010

I use an Ubuntu 10.04 minimal install with only the packages I want, I like to keep things pretty slim.

On bootup, when I execute "startx", everything starts to load, this is fine. However, just off of a cold boot with only my startup apps running, conky shows around 450mb of RAM usage. It usually is only around 150 - 175.

Sometimes when I boot my computer Conky shows the normal RAM usage in the 150mb range, sometimes it's in the 450mb range.

My startup apps when I start X is openbox, tint2, wicd-gtk, feh (for wallpaper), and conky.

I open up htop when conky reports the weird RAM usage. htop also shows the weird RAM usage but I can't seem to find the memory hogging app.

Is this a kernel issue? I'm using the vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 kernel. Will recompiling from kernel.org fix this?

Ubuntu :: High Cpu Usage By Modem-manager?

Jun 23, 2011

I have a problem that the process modem-manager eats up all the cpu resources making it impossible to do anything on my PC. This issue is comes up randomly even during boot up and unfortunately very often. The twist in it is that I can not even kill the process using kill or killall (tried to kill even from top; of course with sudo)

How can I shutdown a process when kill does not help? Is there any way I can disable to start this process during boot up?

OpenSUSE :: High CPU Usage With XORG / Cause Of This?

Dec 14, 2010

I just upgraded KDE on my openSuSE 11.2 installation. I have never had any problems doing this in the past, but this time, when I rebooted, I noticed that after a few seconds of idle time, my CPU usage goes sky high. I ran top in a console and noticed the culprit was xorg. I am using an NVIDIA card on an AMD64 3200+ with 1 gig of memory. KDE version is currently 4.5.85.
Like I said, I didn't have this problem until the last update. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Ubuntu :: Freeze And High CPU Usage - Ext4 And Fakeraid?

Mar 12, 2010

I'm using Karmic koala 9.10 64bit.Have three HDD, WD Raptor 36GB X 2 and Seagate 160GB.2 WD Raptors are striped (RAID 0), and all hdds are formatted by ext4.(Intel ICH9R raid) Problem is that, when reading/writing hdd heavily, system freezes a moment or very very slow down. When I used a windows XP, there's no problem. Moreover, one other machine, Karmic Koala 9.10 64bit and ext3, no raid, works very fine.

My system consists of,
Intel C2Q Q6600
2GB DDR2 6400 (1GB X 2)
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Geforce 8500GT 256MB

[Code]...

If I format my hdd and re-install ubuntu, does it become better? or, if I use software raid provided by linux kernel, or if i don't use a raid?

Ubuntu :: Click - Drag Results In High CPU Usage?

May 7, 2010

thing I did when I installed 10.04 was to re-arrange my icons. I clicked on the first and started to drag. The icon did not move, and nautilus was using 94% of my cpu for a good 15-20 seconds before gtk-window-decorator was using 95-100% of my cpu for a few more seconds. Finally, after a few more unsuccessful tries with the same results, I was able to move the icons.

I assumed this was a bug in nautilus, however the same thing occurred in Chrome when I tried to re-arrange my bookmarks, and the same thing in gnome-panel. The only thing in common I see is gtk-window-decorator.

Ubuntu :: Prevent System Freeze Due To High RAM Or CPU Usage

May 1, 2011

I have been using ubuntu for 4 years now on my decent laptop with 2 Gb RAM, dual core centrino, etc etc. Yet, in all those years I have been using this superior OS, I still have to do hard shutdowns because some program runs wild. I have lately 2 scenarios where I have to interfere with the process:

1: amarok crashes and leaves the python script for the gnome shortcut keys running at 100% CPU. Or: thunderbird-bin keeps running after apparently clean close of Thunderbird. That's not really bothering me, I just kill both processes.

The bigger problem is scenario 2: 2: VLC starts eating all my RAM (for no reason), my SWAP starts filling and my computer becomes unusable for 10 minutes. Or: my matlab script is too big and eats up too much RAM -> same. Note: I have nothing against SWAP because at many other times it's very useful

These are stupid and annoying problems where there is an easy solution:

1) automatically kill the stupid process that runs at 100% CPU
2) automatically kill the stupid process that eats up all my RAM
