Re: cpu consumption

[Gilberto Diaz <gilberto@ula.ve>]

Thanks Gordon, Guy, Michel and Neil, your advises were very useful.

    Gordon was right, all raids are still syncing (Bellow part of the
/proc/mdstat file).  Guy you were right too, the command "uptime" does
not display the cpu load directly, sorry about that.


Best regards
Gilberto
