"The most useful commands in Linux are 'top' and 'kill', hehe"
Something is seriosly wrong..
]]>More than likely got logrotate or updatedb running in the background.. these use to run at midnight for me.. untill I removed the cron job.. really can drive you crazy as your drifting to sleep only to be woken by the terrifiing noie of a rattling hard drive.
if you had good hardware your hard drive would not rattle
]]>Earlier today my CPU usage suddenly shot up to the roof for no apparent reason, memory usage remained normal. I had x, icewm and gentoo running and was not doing anything at the moment (for the record: this was before I started testing rasats hwd ).. The only remedy I could think of was reboot (old win-habits die hard). This fixed the issue and left me wondering what actually happened. Are there any logs that might provide a clue.. Anyone with other ideas? I hope this isn't hardware crapping out.
I realise this probably isn't a Arch specifik problem but you people know much about computers so I'll try here anyway
