I am seeing "rdd_CPU.pl" running 40+ times on my box and each is taking up about 5% of my cpus (I have two) utilization. How can I stop rdd from running?

Rerun the rrd_Configure.sh script and turn it off. Now covered on the Troubleshooting pages on the wiki linked below...

Thanks....still don't know why rdd spawned so many jobs but I didn't really use much anyways.

I re-ran the configure script but rrd seemed to continue to run as can be seen in the two snippets from syslog below. Also note that each caused my system to lock hard and required a reset of the machine:

I have since re-re-ran the script and it appears to have stopped although it's only been 12 hours.

In any case does anyone know why rrd would cause a hard lock on the system?

Thanks!

The mbmon utility that it uses isn't compatible with all motherboards. In the worst case it hangs forever and spins bits as you've observed. You can either reboot or pkill -9 mbmon ; pkill -9 rrd to get rid of any remaining processes.

Searching for "mbmon" and "rrd" should turn up another thread where I walked someone else through this.
