Hello,
We are seeing very high load on some of our CentOS 5.5 x64 Plesk 9.5.1 servers. After investigation, we spotted the sw-cp-serverd process sometimes taking up as much as 1.5G memory. The server was swapping heavily and the system became unresponsive.
I believe this is a bug in Plesk. When a client tries to download a backup through Plesk, it seems Plesk is trying to load the whole backup file in memory before sending it to the client. We have a couple of domains that have backups that exceed 10G in size, loading the whole backup in memory is probably a very bad idea.
Regards,
