January 14, 201115 yr I just fired up my new build and got everything tweaking and running. To benchmark things I started a couple hundred gig copying to it. I was poking around in unmenu as noticed that DHCPD is burning cpu% constantly. This isn't something I'd expect to see. The system is up and running with addresses and DHCPD is claiming between 5 and 30 percent each time I refresh top processes.... Any thoughts or pointers are appreciated!
January 15, 201115 yr That seems quite excessive! What is your lease time set to on your DHCP server? The quick fix would be to use a static IP and take dhcpd out of the loop, but that's less than ideal
January 15, 201115 yr Author The lease is set to the standard 30. I've never bumped into this problem with any of the various servers I've had before and I'm using the absolute vanilla install of a fresh key. Just started playing around last night. Thanks for the suggestion. While banging my head against the wall earlier I did that and...of course... it works just fine and things go back to sane. I can't seem to figure out what's causing dhcpcd to freak out.
