Hello everybody,
This is my first post in the forum.
I installed OMV 5.x last week. Most of those are following Techno Dad Life 's instruction.
On my first installation, I installed CIFS/SAMBA, Plex server, transimssion, ftp and Flash Memory Plugin and no more. The OMV server is behaving good, Plex server worked, however, I noticed that the CPU are all the way hovering at around 50%. I tried Google for days and still didn't find any answer.
So I decided to re-install OMV from scratch. I did it last night. Once I finished the installation I went to Web GUI and noticed that the CPU is idling (normally from 0 to 2%, sometimes to 10%). Since I didn't know which part gone wrong, I kept on going to dashboard to check CPU for every step I made (mounting file system , add share folder, enable SAMBA/CIFS, add SAMBA shares). Still Good.
Still good until I installed docker on OMV-extra page:
I specifed the docker storage to "/sharedfolders/docker", the Web GUI showed an error, saying that /sharedfolders cannot be accessed. Then I tried the default docker storage location with "/var/lib/docker" and docker installed.
Then I installed Portainer with "Install Portainer" button on the OMV-extra page. After that, I noticed the CPU started hovering at around 50% again like my first installation.
As you can see on my screenshot below, I already stopped all services and unmount all data drive but the CPU still running busy with Kworker. Even if I uninstalled omv-extras, the CPU still busy with kworker running. I tried google with keywords like "kworker"; "omv docker problem"; "omv high cpu usage"...etc. Having tried all possible keywords I can imagine and I still didn't find any solution.
