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

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? There is way i can check who is causing 
this problem (looks like a false alarm).
