Woody: High load average, but no processes hogging...
Hi There, Running Debian woody as a LAMP(PHP) server, on a AMD 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM with software RAID1... I have noticed high(ish) load averages (currently 2.08, last week it was 17!!), but there is no processes hogging the CPU, nor are we using any swap... any ideas where to start with this one? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Nothing there. All seems fine. Also, check I/O with: vmstat 5 (don't forget to discard the first line of info from that command.) The load average is currently at 2.12. Looked abit much cut n pasted, but here is the result: http://gremin.orcon.net.nz/vmstat.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
