[Asterisk-Users] Urgent Help neededt!! Asterisk 1.0.7 CPU

Hi Sebas, 

Thanks for your answer.  I am including my fstab configuration below and 3
outputs from top showing the asterisk processes eating 99% of cpu, some
times there are 3 or 4 processes, some times there are 2 and some times
there is one which eats 99%.

The 99% of cpu is not all the time, if no calls are being handled by
asterisk, the load is almost 0%, with 1 or 2 calls, some times it is 2-5%,
some times it spikes to 30%,50%,70% or 80%, with more than 3, it becomes
very unstable going up and down.

Any thoughts on this are welcome, we have this system in production at the
customer site and need to solve this as fast as we can.

Your help is valuable.

Regards.

Can you post your "/etc/fstab" ??? and the output for the "top" command.
