Operating Systems HP-UX What is lvmkd and why does it slow my system down? Post 302147568 by jpetrecca on Tuesday 27th of November 2007 03:51:34 PM

Java What is lvmkd and why does it slow my system down?

I am running HPUX 11.0 with HP MirrorDisk/UX and recently had a HDD failure and replaced the drive with a new one. I did a "dd" command to copy the new data to the new drive and now I have a bunch of "lvmkd" in my "ps -ef" output. These processes are gobbling up CPU time and slowing my system down. I do not want to kill the processes as I do not know what they do and "man" is no help at all.

Can anyone provide some insight on this for me?
