What we can see is the the  reported process is occupy 43.7%,  however I have already disable local reports..

Can anybody please tell how to fix this problem??

hi,

I hate to write this but you should consider upgrading. This will be the first thing Support will ask you to do anyways, and they're right. Patch 5 was in no way 'mature' and there are more recent patches available.

And FOS v5.4 is running out of support soon (or is it already?). There are 3 major versions currently supported, v5.6, v6.0 and v6.2, so you can choose.

Of course, a reboot will fix the problem for the moment, but how fast will it rise again? As you stated that you don't have local reports enabled I wonder how reportd got started in the first place. Local logging, to memory? I'd avoid that as well.
