I am seeing high usage of the "init" process over 30 min periods

Latest response

This is weird, I am seeing high CPU and IO utilisation for the init process (kernel 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 on RHEL 6). It continues for approx 30 mins then drops off. CPU and memory are fine.

11:10 init = 75%, 756GB read disk
11:20 init = 84%, 1.2TB read disk
11:30 init = 67%, 530G read disk

Anyone seen this before? I don't have a bug report in yet, have yet to capture the system in the act. Share and Enjoy!
