Subject: loadavg always equal or above 1.00 - how to explain?
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 12:57:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <438EE515.1080001@wpkg.org> (raw)
I noticed one of my Samba + OpenLDAP servers, running 2.6.11.4 kernel
has loadavg always equal or above 1.00, although I can't explain it.
# cat /proc/loadavg
1.00 1.10 1.06 1/65 782
This server is barely used, and as I remember, loadavg was always close
to 0.00 on that system.
When I view the process list with top, no process takes more than 1% of
CPU time; RAM usage is also minimal:
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 320836 241016 79820 0 23308 177232
-/+ buffers/cache: 40476 280360
Swap: 811272 14612 796660
This has ~ 50 processes running (ps aux|wc -l), and ~ 50 network
connections (netstat -tupna|wc -l), so everything normal.
Nothing unusual in dmesg, too.
What can cause this anormal load, and how can I spot it?
