What does kjournald do?
 

Hi everyone!
I'm having a bit of a problem recently on my RH9 kernel 2.4.25 server, when I see one of the kjournald processes working like crazy (using 70-90%) cpu time. Does anyone know what could that mean? It is true that my partitions are quite full 95% / and 97% /ftp . I'm also using acl. When trying to copy lots of date off the server it will hold for 30s or so, I guess because of lack of resources.

Any clues?

Regards!

I would think your getting close to having problems with some full partitions. Try to free up some space and your kjournald which is the process running when running a journaled filesystem most likely won't be running like crazy, etc.
