What to do if dataskq causing high load?
When your server is having high load and dataskq is on the ‘top’ list,
you will need to kill the process to lower the load first:
killall -USR1 dataskq
And then trace the cause of high load from:
tail -n 10 /var/log/directadmin/errortaskq.log
If it was stuck at ‘Maildir’, it could mean one of the mails user folders is too huge and take too long to be calculated
If it was stuck at ‘brute_force’ or some related files, you need to remove the file and limit its growth in Admin Level -> Admin Settings
