From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: The virtual file /proc/interrupts seemed to have no inode reference. ls -l on /proc reported the interrupts file, but no permissions or related information. ls -l /proc/interrupts hung the ls process. The inode issue for /proc/interrupts caused irqbalance and klogd to overwhelm the CPU (using over 90% for each process) and fill the logs. To correct the issue, I did the following: 1) stop klogd / syslogd 2) free /var disk space 3) stop selinux (was set to enforced) Immediately afterward, the /proc/interrupts inode returned and the system began working correctly again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Using standard RHEL4U1 distribution How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Sorry, but this is a production environment, I don't want to reproduce this problem. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional info:
ok, well if this happens again hopefully we can get more to go on. The 'ls -l' that hung, could you please run as: 'strace ls -l'. Then when that hangs, do alt-sysrq-t, so we can see where it is stuck. Thanks.
