70% cpu, command "kernel"

[Alain De Vos]

What does this mean, and how do i fix this. Should i ?

It means something is hogging your kernel. Without any additional information it'll be impossible to tell.

It could be related to some periodic(8). Check logs and the setting:

/var/log/daily.log
/var/log/weekly.log
/var/log/monthly.log

/etc/crontab
/etc/periodic

 

[covacat]

there are switches for top/ps to show kernel (system) processes
you get more info like that

I don't know, from the experience that happened to my notebook with the high elevation of the frequenc or temperature y and consumption of its cores it means that it won't take long to pass to a better life.

A guess,

zfs get compression

Can you share the output? Thanks.
