Hi there everyone,
About a week or so ago, I began getting notices for 5 minute load averages being high with all questionable processes being cpbackup, lfd failures and my backups began finishing about 12 hours later than average. Logging into WHM to try to trace the problem, I noticed a major WHM update(agreement to a new TOS).
I submitted a ticket and cpanel worked on it for about three days. At the end of the process, they blamed lfd for false notices and issued the server a clean bill of health. They suggested lfd being at fault because the notices for the high server load were being generated by lfd. Please note that if you logged in after an lfd notice, you could see the high server load in WHM.
So, my problem is, there is a problem
This particular server is not carrying many accounts. Usually, you will find the processor usage at about .5 to 1. Backups always finished prior to start of business day. Right now, I'm looking at a processor usage of 7.62, the backups couldn't start today because the backups from yesterday are still running and page loads on this particular server are abysmally slow because all of my resources are being devoured by cpbackup. Up until this rash of problems, I had never once received a high server load notice, lfd had never failed and cpbackup had never run over.
I need to fix this. Since it's been decided that I don't have a problem, I am at the mercy of fellow forumgoers more knowledgeable than I
I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions you might have in the matter.
thanks,
