udev is driving me nuts!!!!!! %-/ I'm watching this problem for weeks now... searched the forum read the bug-reports but I found nothing that helped me or gave me a good direction to further investigate... Reemerging udev also doesn't change anything. Also, I don't have changed any single byte of the system's /etc/udev configuration files so far My assumptions: 1. "vc" are the virtual consoles(??!!) does this problem has something to do with the running "screen"? or 2. the system-console is redirected to a serial console (grub.conf) does this perhabs has something to do with virtuell consoles? see cut-out from my grub.conf: # Boot automatically after 30 secs. # configure COM 1 for serial console support: serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 # Specify both types of terminals and wait until # a key is pressed or <timeout> seconds are over terminal --timeout=10 serial console title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 (tty0 Console) root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev splash=verbose,theme:emergence video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@85 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 . . . Detailed problem description: Right after rebooting the system run's fine (for around 1 to 2 days of uptime): riviera ~ # ps -ef | grep udevd root 2469 1 28 Nov17 ? 1-17:09:18 udevd root 31404 2469 0 15:18 ? 00:00:00 udev vc root 31405 2469 0 15:18 ? 00:00:00 udev vc after around +5 days of uptime the output of "uptime" indicates high system loads?! By the was: In the meantime (the 5-day-uptime) nothing happend to the machine, I mean: no usb-device-activity (do not have such devices) nor any other "hotplug" hardware change (do not have these kind of hardware). riviera ~ # uptime 15:21:46 up 6 days, 1:45, 3 users, load average: 2.69, 2.56, 2.17 IMPORTANT NOTE: there is no performance hungry process running: - runlevel is "3": (no X, no kde, no gnome) - there is no current network traffic (really no client requests at all) the server-processes are running. - server daemon are running/listening (sendmail, cyrus-imapd, spamass, bind, clamd, etc... see below for details) - I have setup "pam_ldap" and "nss_ldap" with "openldap"-server running on the same host but also configured nscd (name-service-caching-daemon) to avoid to frequently ldap-lookups ==> I really believe the above (all idle!!!) server processes will not cause the high load because when you have a look on the cpu-time udevd used: riviera ~ # ps -ef | grep udevd root 2469 1 28 Nov17 ? 1-17:09:18 udevd cpu-time: 1day-17hours in contrast to 6-day-uptime?

If so, please tell me which sections. Could this problem be caused by some strange BIOS settings??? There is no external PCI/AGP-graphic-contr. present (the system uses the chip-internal i810-AGP-Graphic-Controler)??? Could my "strange" PCI-Card-Mix cause the problems? (1 DVB-Card, 2 ISDN cards (AVM+HFC), 1 4-Port "sundance" ethernet-card, 1 dual UART 16650-RS232-Controller)??? Should I emerge ~x86-udev?! But keep in mind: The server is 400miles away from me, I don't want to risk a journey, because of failures in udev, causing the machine not to come up properly... ;-) Should I upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2? But: the previous update from gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 to gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 did not change anything...) Should I use a vanilla kernel instead of gentoo's own? Sorry for the very long bug-description but I don't no exactly which kind of information would be helpfull. Please tell me what's missing and I provide this informations, too. I would be very glad if you could give me a hint where to search for my or udev's or the system's error! Many thanks in advance! regards Daniel Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: rebooting waiting (nearly idle, sending 10-20 emails and max. 2 current ssh-sessions), around 2-3 days... Actual Results: load average: 2.51, 2.25, 2.16 hundreds of "udevsend vc" processes Expected Results: not hundreds of "udevsend vc" or at least all hundreds should disapear again?
I think I've found the error cause: imho it's "METALOG's console-logging" I use metalog (for syslog) and activated it's console-logging, using the following (shipped by the metalog ebuild) consolelog.sh shell script: #!/bin/sh # # consolelog.sh # For metalog -- log to a console # # Taken from LFS! :-/ # console="" for d in /dev/vc/10 /dev/tty10 /dev/console ; do if [ -e ${d} ] ; then console=${d} break fi done if [ -z "${console}" ] ; then exit 1 fi echo "$1 [$2] $3" > ${console} This script is called whenever the syslog-ouput should be send to a console. During boot-up the consolelog.sh will be started. Every output line is processed by the consolelog.sh and for each line "/dev/vc/10 /dev/console" is checked for existence... I think this in conjunction with udev's device-creation could cause the above described problems?! So, I deactivated the console-logging /etc/metalog/metalog.conf and restarted the machine 10 minutes ago. I will verify this (hopefully) problem solution the next days. If deactivating metalog's consolelog.sh solved my problem, I'll try to get console logging enabled again but with a custom methode/script... Cheers Daniel Another possibility would be to unemerge metalog and use standard syslogd.
(In reply to comment #1) > I think I've found the error cause: imho it's "METALOG's console-logging" > After watching my process table and system-load for a day I can for sure say: That was it! So this bug was no udev-bug and thus can be closed. Or should it be assigned to "metalog", because metalog's consolelog.sh drove my udev-based system (and also me) completly nuts! ;-)
metalog 8.0_rc1-r2 should address this
