High Load due to /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py

Hi,

Since this night i have an issue with my FreeNAS installation. The system seems to be running ok for a few weeks and now it is starting al lot of the following processes

Code:

root        2867  0.0  1.3 15788 13708  ??  Rs   10:58AM   0:00.55 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py
root        2877  0.0  0.9 10820  8896  ??  Rs   10:59AM   0:00.32 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py
root        2895  0.0  1.2 14588 12012  ??  Rs   11:00AM   0:00.45 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py
root        2907  0.0  0.9 11972  9396  ??  Rs   11:01AM   0:00.35 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py

root        2917  0.0  1.1 14588 11840  ??  Rs   11:04AM   0:00.37 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py
root        2924  0.0  1.0 13564 10584  ??  Rs   11:05AM   0:00.31 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py

I already upgraded from FreeNAS 8.0.1-RC1-i386.iso to FreeNAS 8.0.2-RELEASE-i386.iso but the problem still exists


I edited /etc/crontab because i think it is broken

Code:

#*      *       *       *       *       root    /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py > /dev/null 2>&1

I then kiled al processes using

Code:

ps aux | grep /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/autosnap.py

kill -9 2945 2948 2952 2962 2966 2970 2973 2978 2988 2994

After a reboot the processes are stil starting. Is there anyone who knows a solution ?

To make it permanent edit /conf/base/etc/crontab

mount -uw /

Hmmm the problem seems to have resolve itself. I wil see if it is stil needed to comment out the crontab entry
