Suse 10.x going slow ? - anyweb - 2006-10-13


try this to improve matters (as root)

 



Code:
rczmd stop




 

this controls the parse-metadata process, which top reveals as consuming vast amounts of cpu and hdd space...

 

stopping it should improve matters, if you wish to remove it altogether then do this

 



Code:
insserv -r novell-zumd
