This happens to be a post from an experience on a Ubuntu machine... although the machine was practically unused, an entire CPU was consumed (by ksoftirqd) Resolution: # date -s "`date`" root@wwwsrv01:~#    uname -a Linux wwwsrv01 2.6.32-32-server #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 22:07:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@wwwsrv01:~#   lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

I am rebuilding out a lab environment and I installed BIND and attempted to run through everything from memory (instead of running my script or reading my docs...).  BIND was operating "fine", but I noticed that named was consuming around 123% of a CPU. There are a few things that I had not done, and in hindsight, I wish there was a simple how-to on the "correct" way to implement BIND in a best-practices way.  Instead of everyone posting how they did it... (one such example is a person that simply does a chmod 777 to get things rolling...). So -keep in mind that this is for my private lab... Anyhow - in summary: yum -y install bind-chroot chkconfig named on cp /etc/named.conf /etc/named.conf.orig mv /etc/named.conf /var/named/chroot/etc/ echo 'OPTIONS="-4"' >> /etc/sysconfig/named rndc-confgen -a -c /etc/rndc.key chmod 755 /etc/rndc.key cat /etc/rndc.key >> /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf sed -i -e 's/127.0.0.1/...

I have a Sun USS 7110 with some issues.  I have had to swap OS drives between machines, at one point the drives were formatted for Linux, etc... At the end of the day, the USS 7110 (basically a Sun x4200) is most useful as it's intended purpose, a Unified Storage Array - imagine that? ;-) Anyhow... once you have the 2 OS drives configured correctly... go to work # echo | format | awk '{ print $2 }' DISKS="c0t5000CCA0002AF4B8d0 c0t5000CCA0002B33A0d0 c0t5000CCA0002CED64d0 c0t5000CCA0002D9A8Cd0 c0t5000CCA0002D9A44d0 c0t5000CCA0007AA6F4d0 c0t5000CCA0007ABB18d0 c0t5000CCA0007ABDBCd0 c0t5000CCA0007B632Cd0 c0t5000CCA0007B3934d0 c0t5000CCA00019B378d0 c0t5000CCA00031D8CCd0 c0t5000CCA000222E5Cd0 c0t5000CCA0002874C4d0" #c0t5000CCA0002CE1C4d0  -- OS Drive #c0t5000CCA00029536Cd0  -- OS Drive for DISK in $DISKS do   echo "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/${DISK} bs=1024 count=72000"   dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/${DISK} bs=1024 count=72000 ...

I will be updating this later...  I believe what I have here is accurate.  However, I have not tested it.
