snmpd strangeness

2008-11-19 Thread John Almberg
I just noticed something odd and am looking for ideas... As you can see from the top snippet below, snmpd is getting hammered by something. As a comparison, the load averages for this quad-core box are usually close to zero. I'm not even sure I'm using snmpd for anything... not even sure

The card in the box is a Intel 18E PCI-Express x8 SAS/SATA2 Hardware ROMB RAID with 128MB Memory Module and 72 Hour Battery Backup Cache $625 as shown on the packing list, so I hope it's a good one. Ah, I think it's hardware RAID, and PCIe to boot. Yes, I would recommend keeping that!
