Title:
findutils uses nearly 100% CPU and memory resources
Status in findutils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
findutils is using a find command, probably to auto-update indexing database.
While this is normal behaviour, i found out that shortly after the indexing
update started, findutils is using 100% of CPU resources (Haswell Pentium
G3258), all of my system's memory (8GB RAM) and some of the swap, rendering the
system completely unusable.
Issueing the command 'ps ax | grep find' results in:
