[rhn-users] Problems with gam_server

[Shehzad Tahir Nagi]

Hi,

I have a very basic problem but some how i am not able to get my head 
around it. I have Dell blade servers 1955 with RHEL4 OS on it. For past 
few days the system has started acting very busy and after quick 
investigation (just writing top) we found out that the "gam_server" 
service is taking 100% cpu usage. I understand we are doing a little bit 
of IO working on the box but even then it shouldn't be taking 100% 
process time.

 From what I have noticed its a bug with the kernal but i am a bit 
confused how to fix it? If i kill the process, what are the drawbacks? 
We have two NFS mounted drive on the blades too.

Please if any one has quick suggestion or a fix, it will be highly 
appreciated.

Thanks alot in advance.

Regards,
Shehzad
