Fuser command running long

#1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2008, 11:53 AM

Hi,

The fuser command on our production box runs many cpu minutes:

root 954620 750086 60 09:44:05 - 39:17 /usr/sbin/fuser
/tmp/auto_rem_pro.5414.72419.1

and it's still running! Unfortunately, I can't get our AIX support
folks to look at it. Any idea why this could be happening?

I can see that the file system is /tmp. Is it that you are running any
which is writing on to it .

the fuser shudn;t take this much time, unless the /tmp is heavily used

Thanks for your response. So are you saying if /tmp is being heavily
used that will affect the speed at which fuser runs even if the file I
am running fuser against is not in use?
