I had a problem with a solaris client once that used up a pile of CPU on
that client. What had happened on the client was that someone had
mounted a CD, then they had somehow pulled the CD in such a way that the
filesystem was still mounted under solaris, but the CD did not exist in
the drive . . . Don't ask me how that happened!
The bpbkar process kept hanging up on the client machine and when I
noticed the problem there were a bunch of bpbkar processes running. I
found the problem by backing up small pieces of the machine at a time,
so rather than doing ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES, I just did each /etc/vfstab mount
at a time until I figured out the problem was somewhere under root . . .
Hope this helps . . .
