I have a KVM virtual machine (several actually) which acts as a warm spare for another kvm instance running on a different physical host. Each hour it backs up the live system using rsync. This morning I discovered that the backup instance was running at 99% utilisation and that the process consuming the entire virtual cpu was this:
sh -c rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{NAME}\n%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n%{EPOCH}\n%{GROUP}\n%{SUMMARY}\n\n" 2>/dev/null
In fact there were two identical instances of these processes, one
. . .
Where is this process started from? What does it do? And why is it consuming so much cpu.?
Does anyone here have any ideas?
rpm-cron-4.8.0-32.el6.noarch
which contains
/etc/cron.daily/rpm
It writes a file which contains a list of installed RPM packages on the system.
Does anyone have any suggestion as why this process would get hung up like this?
