Hi,
I a new to this list and to Debian. I have a 2.0.0 kernel and debian 1.2
Some days ago I updated some packages from the unstable tree. The packages
were base-passwd bsdutils debianutils dpkg e2fsprogs fileutils and
findutils. I have noticed by runing pstree that kerneld
spawns new kernelds at very short intervals . More specifically
kerneld spawns another kerneld which in its turn might spawn yet another
or
might spawn a sh process Then very quickly the child processes disappear.
This happens at very short intervls ( seconds) Additionally there is some
minor hard disk activity ( probably ) unrelated with the fact that I am
runing some backgroung batch jobs. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or
is it a bug or is it because i haven't upgraded some other package ??
At the moment no other problems are caused but I am abit worried.
As I don't know very much about kerneld (or linux) i would appreciate some
help very much. If someone can tell me what kerneld does exactlly and
which configuration files it uses I guess that would help too.
Thanks for any help
George
PS I should also note that I installed the packages by nfs from another
site . Then I could not unmount this site because probably some process
has its home directory in the directory structure of the other site. Later
I reinstalled the version of the above packages from the stable but
the problem did not stop
