Hi,
we are using a couple of OpenVZ servers with
2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.2PAE kernel
Both have 4 CPU and 16 GB of RAM (they are Dell Servers)
One of them have 12 VEs, not CPU intensive, and we are having this load:
top - 15:09:53 up 7 days, 2:08, 2 users, load average: 14.13, 14.15,
14.13
Tasks: 589 total, 2 running, 587 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 2.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si,
0.0%st
Mem: 16610436k total, 2076208k used, 14534228k free, 229628k buffers
Swap: 4095992k total, 0k used, 4095992k free, 302844k cached
Tho other have 2 VEs, also not CPU intensive, and these are its numbers:
top - 15:11:00 up 2 days, 3:45, 1 user, load average: 6.15, 6.20, 6.18
Tasks: 352 total, 1 running, 351 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 1.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si,
0.0%st
Mem: 16610436k total, 2968484k used, 13641952k free, 96052k buffers
Swap: 4095992k total, 0k used, 4095992k free, 1425816k cached
Isn't that too much load average? What can be the problem?
Regards.
