#144 100% cpu and no "man" file

[Anonymous]

after mounting an "smb" share "top" reports "scrollkeeper-up" uses most of the cpu. causing my laptop fans to sound like a small jet. killed it and found no man file and no documentation on the website... fresh and updated ubuntu install ... care to give some hints?

I'll send log files and reproduce the error if you send documentation. :)

Well... My Lap-Top freeze with these problem to. I verify the status of process with the

"ps aux|grep scrollkeeper"

and I note a second line to the complete command process id:

root 6758 70.0 10.9 54696 53068 ? SN 10:28 42:00 scrollkeeper-up
date -q -p /var/lib/scrollkeeper

So... the abusing process is scrollkeeper-update and it's necessary to maintaining the catalog documentation alright.

To solve partially just run:
sudo apt-get install cpulimit
sudo cpulimit -p pid -l %CPU &

Where pid is the "Process id" and %CPU is a number in percentage to limit the process. In my case I type 10. Finally the & is necessary to destiny the running cpulimit in background.

That's all
