Arthur,

Thanks. However, I am unable to reproduce this behaviour.

What filesystem are you using?

Can you reproduce this with a command that doesn't touch the filesystem? Maybe:

 read | more

I wonder if it is a specific filesystem effect on your system and it is ls -t
that is consuming CPU rather than more.

If you try without the -t flag, does that change the behaviour?

Mark

Package: util-linux
Version: 2.40.2-8devuan1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

In a directory with lots of files I typed:

ls -t|more

while the more command was waiting for keyboard input, cpu utilisation on the
cpu core with the more executable went up to 100 percent.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
