Back Hello all,
I 'm running an IBM BladeCenter which basically has two USB switches built-in with one switch controlling which blade the Keyboard & Mouse are assigned to and the other switch controlling which blade the Floppy & CD-ROM drive are assigned to. Essentially this equates to the Keyboard, Mouse, and drives being unplugged and re-plugged a lot. Every once in a while I 'll end up with something going crazy and launching dozens of the following processes:
17308 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /etc/hotplug/usb.agent 17738 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/devlabel restart 18667 ? D 0:00 /usr/bin/scsi_unique_id /dev/sdb 18706 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /sbin/devlabel status
I currently have about ten of each of these running. /dev/sdb is my floppy drive, and I 'm assuming that devlabel is somehow not liking what it sees. I 've not set devlabel up in any particular fashion yet (I tried on another blade, but it didn 't seem to like adding the empty floppy drive). Anyone seen anything like this before or have any ideas?
Thanks
DC
