High CPU After updating to 6.6.1
I have just updated to production 6.6.1 from 6.6.1-T207, All appeared to go fine, but after about an hour I noticed that there appeated to be quite heavy disk usage, monitoring the NAS using TOP show...
So something's wrong with plex. Are you using it?
If not, maybe just try uninstalling it.
Otherwise you might try downloading the current version from plex.tv and upload it on the web ui's app page. That might help. Some users have found they needed to use firefox to get the app install to work.
Antivirus is now a part of the OS. There is no longer an app to be installed for this.
Though I have no experience with the 6.7 beta I'm getting somewhat paranoid about the impact Antivirus might have on the system and would like to recommend the following:
- As your Antivirus service currently seems to be disabled, just enable it for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Then disable that service again and see whether the system is going back to normal cpu-load
Hypothesis is, that upgrading to the 6.7 beta enabled AV without showing its true status on the admin page.
Caveat: There is a risk you will not be able to access the admin page anymore after enabling the antivirus service. If you can live with the situation you have at the moment, just wait for final fw 6.7 and do not follow the recommended steps.
I am not using 6.7, I went from 6.6.1-T207 (this contains a fix for USB Drives that helped me alol) to the normal production 6.6.1
Then my post applies for your situation, too. Sorry for mixing up the releases.
