process 'reactorra' taking an enormous amount of CPU - rbourgeon - 17.09.2026

Hello,
The CPU of a LM is very overloaded (load average ~ 3.00). We decided to investigate it.

When we run the command `top`, we see that the process responsible for managing the inputs/outputs (`lua /lib/genohm-scada/plugins/reactorra/daemon.lua`) eats up a good part of the CPU resources: column "%CPU" indicates a number that is almost all the time around 30% for this process, but we've seen it go as high as 57%!

This is very strange, given that:
- There is no input/output connected to this LM (all 16 rows in the "Reactor" tab are blank in the scada-main interface)
- This LM is equipped with the latest firmware (20251204).

Model is  LM5 Reactor IO V2/V3 (i.MX6).

Do you have any idea where this could come from and how we could solve it?

Have you tried rebooting LM, does it help? Are there any other processes with high CPU usage?

Hello, yes when we reboot the LM it solves the problem but only temporarily. No other processes have a high CPU usage.

Do you have anything in LM Error log? Does this issue happen on one LM or multiple? If you have another Reactor try swapping the SD cards between them and see if this issue happens on the second device.
