"kernel: Cannot read proc file system: 1 - Operation not permitted" -- millions of such messages each minute in kern.log on OpenVZ VPS? [closed]
Rsyslog has a tendency to use 100%+ CPU on OpenVZ. I run following commands via SSH to fix the problem
service rsyslog stop
sed -i -e 's/^\$ModLoad imklog/#\$ModLoad imklog/g' /etc/rsyslog.conf
service rsyslog start
Or, see here for a workaround.
