Hello! (sorry for bad english!) I'm a sys/netadmin of few FreeBSD machines and also if I can't call myself a "unix guru" I'm not a newbie :-) However, I'm seeing a strange load on one of mine FreeBSD 4.0-stable servers and I can't explain it. these are the first lines of "top" output : last pid: 64984; load averages: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 up 100+04:47:18 16:42:54 27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 7784K Active, 82M Inact, 19M Wired, 3824K Cache, 22M Buf, 12M Free Swap: 256M Total, 256M Free I don't understand why the load averages are all 1.00 when the CPU is 100% idle! The loads are 1.00 from few minutes and the same for CPU utilization %. Is this a correct behavior or what ? My machine is really idle looking at "top" and "ps ax" outputs, so why loads are 1.00 ? I checked also network traffic and others profiling systems ( like "netstat -i", "netstat -a" and "systat -vmstat") but all seems calm. I hope this is not a silly question! :-) Thanks in advance !
