From cPanel Forum:
CPU Process has a high load, with many cpanelro user taking the cpu time. Below is script to kill cpanelro’s process
#!/bin/sh
for ROUND in `ps aux | grep roundcube | awk -F " " '{print $10}' | awk -F ":" '{print $1}'`;
do
if [ $ROUND -ge 20 ]; then
pkill -u cpanelroundcube
echo "kill roundcube process roundcube";
fi
done
Put in crontab and run it every 15 or 30minutes. Or you can edit RoundCube file to fix a never ending loop caused when trying to log in with an invalid account

those files use the MIME types specified above (the first value listed after AddType.)
I was checking Development MySQL server (what did you know, I am not that lazy) and I found errors at /var/log/messages, I assume the secondary HDD (/dev/hdb) failed. Fiuh, I am lucky configured this server using Software-Raid1 otherwise all data has gone.

Luckily, uncle Google very nice to me and show me article on Howtoforge.com, following the article I am confident to replace failed harddisk. Below is my Raid configuration:
Array: /dev/md0; Member: /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1; Raid: 1; Filesystem: ext3fs; mountpoint: /boot
Array: /dev/md1; Member: /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb2; Raid: 0; Filesystem: swap; mountpoint: swap
Array: /dev/md2; Member: /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb3; Raid: 1; Filesystem: ext3fs; mountpoint: /
Summary of Howtoforge’s article is below:

To add swap partition use command
# mkswap /dev/hdb2 # swapon /dev/hdb2 # vi /etc/fstab # /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
With assuming you already create /dev/hdb2 partition before using fdisk and chose swap filesystem.
