Hello, today I noticed heavy disk utilization. I did top to find this:-
nobody 10204 10203 6 10:06 ? 00:00:05 /usr/bin/find / -ignore_readdir_race ( -fstype NFS -o -fstype nfs -o -fstype nfs4 -o -fstype
can somebody kindly throw some light on this _nobody_ and what is he doing on my m/c?
nobody it the user NFS uses for its functioning. It is a valid Linux user. Its GID is 65535 I think.
grep nobody /etc/passwd
