udevd consuming lot of CPU

svangati · 05-13-2006, 11:22 AM

I am running Fedora Core 4 on a Dell PowerEdge 1750. Recently, I have noticed (from running the top command) that the udevd process is consuming a lot of CPU - approximately 30%. I have never seen this process taking so much of CPU before.

- Kernel version: 2.6.11
- udev version: 058-1

- What could be causing this?
- Is this an hardware issue?
- How do I resolve it?

Thanks for your time.

Have a look at your /var/log/messages file and see if something is causing the problem.

I checked the /var/log/messages file and I don't see anything that is related to udev or any hardware error messages. Anything specific, other than the obvious error messages, that I need to look for in the /var/log/messages file that could be related to udev?

Thanks.
