High CPU Consumption due the process kblockd
Hi Guys,
We are having issues with one of our database server. The vm is working stremly slow and theses processes are consumming the most of resources. We apply some updates in the database but the issue persist.
This is the information we have
# ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k1 -r | head -10
%CPU PID USER COMMAND
9.8 48 root [kblockd/2]
9.5 46 root [kblockd/0]
