100% cpu usage and docker orphans too.

[molesza]

I am trying to work out why my system locks up every now and then. When this happens the CPU usage shows 100% on all 4 cores. This will continue for a few minutes and then the system comes back down to normal usage.

 

My system

 

Intel i5-6600k

16GB memory.

 

I am only using 30% of the system memory. I'm pretty sure my i5-6600k is plenty for my use case. Only have a few docker containers running and not running any VMs

 

I have attached my diagnostics. Tried looking through the logs but im not seeing anything.

 

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

 

Thanks

I forgot to mention the docker orphans. I will get random dockers that stop working and then I see that the image is orphaned on the docker page. I have to manually add the docker again to get it running. No idea why this is also happening.

Orphans happen whenever you make a change to a template and the docker run cannot execute for some reason.  It also happens due to a bug in the Apps tab if you update a container from within Apps (and not the docker tab).

 

Orphans are harmless and take up no real space. (Hence why the CA bug isn't a high priority at the moment)

 

Are either of these situations applicable to you?

Thanks for the reply Squid. These orphaned images happen without me changing a thing. I only update from the docker tab.

I swapped out the SSD to troubleshoot and this solved the problem. Not sure what caused it in the first place. I have moved away from btrfs as its only a single drive. Could this have been the issue? I am going to put the old ssd into another machine and check for any issues with the drive itself. With the new ssd in all is good!
