Server Load Balancing (slbd) using 100% CPU

[nrgyz]

Hi,

I've search through this forum for a similar problem but I've not found any clues.  ???

My setup:
pfSense upgraded to the latest snapshot (03-27-2007)
Pentium 3 CPU 1.26 Ghz, 1 Go RAM
3 NICs Intel Pro/1000
I'm using load balanced Dual-WAN (followed the tutorial on wiki)

My problem:
It seems slbd running in 2 instances takes all CPU utilization.
I can temporary solve the problem by killing those processes without affecting the load balancing functionality. But once I reboot pfSense, the problem reoccurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

I had a similar problem with pf in a VMWare Machine taking 100% CPU Time.

I solved it by enabling device poling in the advanced setup and applying the changes describet here: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=Tuning

Maybe this helps.

Greetz,

This should be fixed in 1.2-BETA-1 which will be out very soon.

I had high CPU problems when I stated using bandwidthd - it put my LAN connection into promiscuous mode, so it was seeing all the traffic on my LAN.
