I was reviewing the status of my FreeNAS server and noticed the load was around 1. Then I looked at the CPU utilization on the reporting tab and saw it was at bouncing around 100% of the 200% available. I looked at the system processes and saw nothing. So I logged in via SSH and did the used "ps aux" of which the first few lines are below. What is g_event and why might it be using 100% for days on end?
