Hi,
This may be a clue to Weepecket's KNFS problems, or it may just be my
lack of understanding of the new method for running
/etc/athena/reactivate.
How many reactivate processes are expected to be pending at any one
time?
I know that desync is a variable sleep and that these aren't putting
much real load on the system, but is it reasonable to have about 30 of
these pending at any given time?
The shell invocation from cron still takes up memory and fills up the
process table, and that may be causing problems on this particular
heavily loaded server.
Thanks,
--Tom
