I'm getting some strange things happening on F10 lately. In a

seems to go sky high but "top" doesn't necessarily show anything using
much CPU (actually, top will often show that my cpu utilization is 90+%
idle while my loadavg is upwards of 10). I can usually shutdown my
"gui"fied apps (like Thunderbird, Firefox, VirtualBox) but if I try and
reboot the reboot hangs while trying to shutdown "automount" and I have
to cycle the power on the box. I'm running the latest updates including
kernel 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686. Any thoughts or suggestions are
appreciated.
Does this happen all the time? If not, do you have any hard mounts from
NFS servers?
If it does happen all the time, try "strace ps -ef" and watch the
output.
