Load avg 2.0 when idle. Message-ID: <20041024182918.GA12532@sommrey.de> Mail-Followup-To: Joerg Sommrey , Linux kernel mailing list Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040722i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 633 Lines: 18 Hello, there is a load average of 2.0+ even if the box is almost idle. (i.e. "top" shows just one running process: top itself.) Starting two cpu-intensive processes raises the load average to 4.0+. How can I determine the source for the high load, or is this a bug? I'm running 2.6.9 on a dual-athlon box.
