teamd high cpu usage
by Dan Arena
Good morning and happy Friday,
Since a recent update, teamd now has one of my CPU cores stuck at 100%
cpu usage all the time. I did not change any configuration, just ran
updates. I also posted the bug here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1873128 with additional
details like ltrace and strace. I hope you don't mind me asking here
too. I saw on github someone said you may not check the other bug
report sites and we should post bugs to the mailing list. They
actually said they sent the bug here, but I searched the archives and
did not see it. I apologize if they did already send it.
Thanks,
Dan
