lurkio Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) About every 18 seconds two 10-12 second processes kick off, and they cause 25-35% cpu utilization. I have disabled docker, removed plugins, and watched processes, etc. There have been a few red herrings, like file activity viewer that was enabled. So far I see only one culprit that matches the timing but I can't figure out what's triggering it. Anyone recognize this process and know what it's linked to? Thanks all. ps auxf |grep leaf |grep -v grep root 4508 0.0 0.0 2648 792 ? S 14:46 0:00 | \_ /bin/timeout 30 find /mnt/disk1/backups -noleaf root 4510 0.0 0.0 4480 2740 ? R 14:46 0:00 | \_ find /mnt/disk1/backups -noleaf root 4509 0.0 0.0 2648 724 ? S 14:46 0:00 \_ /bin/timeout 30 find /mnt/cache/appdata -noleaf root 4511 0.0 0.0 4280 2576 ? R 14:46 0:00 \_ find /mnt/cache/appdata -noleaf (I know in this output the cpu is zero, it goes up immediately after, but only one process at a time. I chose this because it shows both processes and what they are "finding" hoping it will give a better clue.) Edited September 22, 2021 by lurkio Quote Link to comment
Solution lurkio Posted September 22, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted September 22, 2021 Leaving this for posterity. Per the norm, as soon as I actually post this I find the issue. @Squid did in fact on two occasions call out folder caching and fixed similar issue. He was right, I disabled folder caching and the rhythmic usage immediately disappeared. /facepalm 2 3 Quote Link to comment
