it happened twice in last few weeks: the cleanup (part of postfix) eats up all the cpu cycles and cannot be killed (even with -9).
I guess that means that it's stuck in system call - it looks like kernel problem. any ideas on what to do (well, I know I can reboot:-)? how to troubleshoot? this is debian unstable, postfix 1.1.7-7, kernel 2.4.18. this doesn't seem to be related to kernel upgrade (which I did long time ago), I am not even sure if it's postfix related, it seems like updated some part of postifx during may following messages in syslog might be related (other than I've found nothing suspicious): Jun 20 11:12:02 localhost postfix/smtpd[6575]: warning: premature end-of-input from public/cleanup socket while reading input attribute name Jun 20 11:12:02 localhost postfix/smtpd[6575]: fatal: unable to connect to the public cleanup service Jun 20 11:12:03 localhost postfix/master[505]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 6575 exit status 1 Jun 20 11:12:03 localhost postfix/master[505]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling there's no bug for this (in postfix package), should I file one - does it look like cleanup bug? or kernel bug?
