My system is a dual-proc athlon. Running 'df -k' causes the CPU utilization to spike to 95%+. Measured the CPU utilization by running 'top' at the cli, and using gkrellm in the GUI. The df process is unkillable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run 'df -k' 2. 3. Actual Results: CPU Utilization climbs to 95%+. Gkrellm shows both procs at 95%+. Expected Results: Displayed the appropriate disk usage. dfigueroa@dpc-gt dfigueroa $ emerge info Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) MP Processor 1800+ GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.twobit.net/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb:/usr/kde/3.1/share/config:/usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="oss libg++ mikmod mmx pdflib xv gdbm berkdb slang readline guile sdl esd oggvorbis motif opengl 3dnow aalib alsa apache2 apm arts avi bonobo cdr crypt cups dga dvd encode ethereal evo gb gbdm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtkhtml imap imlib java jpeg kde libwww mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oav pam perl plotutils png python qt quicktime samba spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype usb wmf X xml xml2 xmms sv zlib x86" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-mp" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-mp" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j3" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
I forgot to mention that df hangs when reaching my /dev/hda7 partition. Disk layout: /dev/hda1, ntfs, 8GB, c:\, WinXP /dev/hda2, ntfs, 10GB, d:\, WinXP /dev/hda3, Ext3, 100MB, /boot, Gentoo 1.4_rc3 /dev/hda4, Extended, --, --, Gentoo 1.4_rc3 (gentoo created, not WinXP created) /dev/hda5, swap (in Extended), 1GB, swap, Gentoo 1.4_rc3 /dev/hda6, ReiserFS, 8GB, /, Gentoo 1.4_rc3 /dev/hda7, ReiserFS, 10GB, /home, Gentoo 1.4_rc3 The system has to be rebooted to stop CPU utilization.

do me a favour and emerge coreutils, then try the df -k command.
It's masked off. I tried to do an export KEYWORDS="~x86", but it is still masked. What do I need to do to get it emerged? Thanks! David Figueroa
cd /usr/portage/sys-apps/coreutils emerge coreutils-5.0.ebuild
Well, I have mixed news about this. The 5.0 core-utils did not help in any way. However, on a hunch, I tried the df -t xxxx for the different types, ext3, tmpfs, etc. like I had before with reiserfs. (I converted the reiserfs partitions to ext3 in an attempt to workaround this.) It turns out that the ntfs is linked to the cause. A df -t ntfs causes the system to hang. The other fs types did not. I rebooted, and tested it in each scenario with the ntfs & smbfs unmounted (I have to smbfs shares mounted with a credentials file on my system). If the ntfs partitions are mounted, then the problem occurs. If they are not mounted, it does not occur. Here's a copy of the fstab (the ntfs partititions are commented out for obvious reasons: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.10 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $ # # noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't # needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage # efficiency).

Just wanted to see if there was something else I should do? Ultimately, I'd like to have the NTFS partitions mounted all the time without this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, David Figueroa
I'll report this to the fileutils people.
This has been a "critical" bug for almost 7 months. Feedback please?
We're currently standing at coreutils-5.0.91-r4 for x86 and this bug hasn't received any food in the last 10 months or so. I'm closing this as TEST-REQUEST.
arm stable, all arches done.
