Greetings, I have a weird problem with a couple of Dual Redhat 7.2 machines; Both of them started to show (not sure since when) a high usage number but the CPU or the IO looks to be normal.
Here is the output of my w command and my /proc/loadavg: [root@lnxdb0001 proc]# w 11:11am up 8 days, 21:37, 1 user, load average: 4.00, 4.00, 3.95 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root pts/0 firewall.dev01.n 10:19am 0.00s 0.18s 0.01s w [root@lnxdb0001 proc]# cat /proc/loadavg 4.00 4.00 3.95 1/62 4828 [root@lnxdb0001 proc]# But the ps -ef or top doesn't show anything rare: 11:12am up 8 days, 21:38, 1 user, load average: 4.00, 4.00, 3.95 62 processes: 61 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 0.1% system, 0.0% nice, 99.0% idle CPU1 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 100.0% idle Mem: 1028432K av, 1022572K used, 5860K free, 159284K shrd, 10764K buff Swap: 131504K av, 0K used, 131504K free 760696K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 4831 root 19 0 1032 1028 816 R 0.9 0.0 0:00 top 1 root 8 0 524 524 456 S 0.0 0.0 0:08 init 2 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 keventd 3 root 19 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU0 4 root 19 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 ksoftirqd_CPU1 5 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:01 kswapd 6 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 kreclaimd 7 root 9 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 bdflush here is my uname: [root@lnxdb0001 proc]# uname -a Linux lnxdb0001 2.4.7-10smp #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 17:09:31 EDT 2001 i686 unknown Doesn't look like a memory problem (in fact the box is not using swap at all): [root@lnxdb0001 proc]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1028432 1022520 5912 159284 10764 760712 -/+ buffers/cache: 251044 777388 Swap: 131504 0 131504 Has anyone has faces this weird behaivour?
