| Hi
Monitoring the CPU-Usage of my Notebook from time to time I notice an
Usage of 100% on my more or less IDLE Notebook caused by famd (File
Alteration Monitoring Daemon).
Killing famd and restarting it causes normal CPU usage again. This
Problem is quite annoying on an Notebook as it costs valueable battery time.
Is this behaviour »normal« oder quite likely an Bug? There is nearly
nothing about famd on the net.

Sorry I have forgotten to mention the system I use:
It's Debian testing (Lenny) with Kernel 2.6.22-3-i686, fluxbox as WM and
XDM for Login.
Hardware is an Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m with Intel Core2Duo T7200, AMD/ATI
Mibility x1400 (fglrx)

Just disable that POS. Why would you need famd running, anyway?
