Re: Strange very high load
Hi,
actually it doesn't seem to be connected to NFS at all since at the time
when it happenes there are no NFS mounts active.
It happens always when amanda (the backup system) is backing up our
network. It also seems to happen only if there is a big backup job. A
small job was done without this effect.
