I found a temp fix for me. I had top showing the load in excess of 1.00 but after shutting down udevd the load has come down to 0.04. The way I stopped it was:
service udev stop. I am running Lucid Alpha on x86_64, # uname -v #20-Ubuntu SMP Sat Feb 20 05:18:19 UTC 2010 # udevd --version 151 I am not sure of the impact of stopping udev but the load has definitely come down. -- CD-ROM polling on some Optiarc drives causes high CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
