SABnzbd Forums

Recently I have been plagued by a 100% CPU load when I try to download. If I pause the download normal CPU cycles continue. This happens on any download. If I have a single file or multiple files. After googling the issue I saw a post from a couple of years back that sad to attempt to do a que repair. This did not fix my issue. Any other suggestions?

v0.7.20

Thanks in advance,

What kind of hardware and OS?

Hi guys, new to the forum. I just installed sickbeard, couchpotato and sabnzbd in Ubuntu and am having the same/similar issue. Sabnzbd starts and everything runs smooth for a little while. Downloads start and shortly after the GUI becomes unresponsive.

Setup:
Ubuntu:14.04 (VM)
RAM: 6GB
CPU: 1 socket with 6 cores
Sabnzbd:

As I was typing the reply I noticed several entries of the following error in Sabnzbd:
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I installed the whole setup using this guide:

Thank you in advance for your help!

WeirDave, were you able to resolve this? I am having same/similar issue

Kozunak,

If you set Logging to +Debug (via Status -> Latest Warnings -> Logging) and restart SABnzbd , the sabnzbd.log (via Status -> Latest Warnings -> Show Logging) will show a line like "CPU Pystone available performance is 83028". What does your logging show?

Furthermore, on Linux (and other Unix-like?) systems, SABnzbd shows in the upper right corner something like "Sysload: 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.05 | V=334M R=24M". What do you see there?

Here is the info requested:

2015-03-02 08:09:03,046::DEBUG::[sabnzbdplus:1294] CPU Pystone available performance is 268456

Sysload: 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.05 | V=3538M R=44M

Wow ... that is a beast of a machine, and so the CPU load is low "0.00".

Where do you get the information that the CPU load is 100%?

Yeah, I threw more resources at it to try to remedy the situation Ideally, I would like to scale back. To answer your question, I get that info from PRTG monitoring that host. The CPUs show to go to 100%. I am assuming the Sabnzbd gui would also show 100% but it is unresponsive so I am unable to get the info that way...

scale back to what?

Scale back the resources provisioned to that VM...right now it has 6GB of RAM and 6 cores for CPU.

Please be exact: what are the resources provisioned to that VM?

CPU:
- 1 virtual socket
- 6 cores per virtual socket

RAM: 6GB

HDD:
- OS and applications Installed and running on SSD
- Media stores (TV, Movies, etc) are stored on NFS
- NFS shares are on FreeNAS 9.3 that is presenting the storage as ISCSI to ESXi. The disks are spindle type running in RAID5

Well, with high spec hardware you describe (pystone above 200000, RAM 6GB) I can't imagine you get 100% CPU due to SABnzbd downloading.

I would agree with you but I can replicate the issue 100 times a day Here is a screen shot of PRTG polling the CPU usage. You can see each core spiking to 100%

Also, I am getting the following:
Error when trying to navigate to the GUI while Sabnzbd is downloading and CPU at 100%

Unrecoverable error in the server.

Did you search

on this forum? Including the possible causes, like a HUGE queue.
