  • What are you doing that your load is at 2.32?
    Do you never patch your kernel?

  • Gary says:

    Using uptime seems to spike the load. Looking at it with ‘w’ shows a more normal CPU usage.

    I upgrade the kernel depending on a server’s configuration, deployment, and security environment.

  • Linux is great indeed!

    $ w
    01:05:04 up 531 days, 21:39, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.24, 0.16

    And for the skeptics: No, it’s not a box sitting in a corner… 1.3 TB worth of maps and other dynamic content served:

    $ /sbin/ifconfig
    eth0 …
    RX bytes:297914406573 (277.4 GiB) TX bytes:1522101949283 (1.3 TiB)
