So, two quickies, as you have not provided any server details
Have you looked at the logs
Is system setup as Raid?, is the system rebuilding said array
Why did it restart? you did it? or what?

Is not setup as raid, its sme server 9.2.

Shut down while replacing a ups battery, after booting the problems began.

and once it boots after after more than an hour, everything is super slow,

is there a way to backup my data using secondary os so i can do a fresh install

Run "top" from the command line, sort by CPU usage, and tell us which task is taking all the CPU.

Do you have the fail2ban contrib ( smeserver-fail2ban ) installed ?

thanks everyone for your help, i noticed bridge interface services were taking all to start during boot up, after waiting forever uninstalling them, and also uninstalled softether vpn, i rebooted the server and everything is fine now.

over the weekend i will reinstall the sme-bridge-interface and softether, if i experience the same problem i will report.

Your time and efforts are really appreciated.
