Subject: Low CPU usage high load avarage
I've been running into machines on a more frequent that had just
crawling, but top shows they are mostly idle, but the load average is
high. This means that something is really using a lot of IO on some
sort, but I don't know of any way to find a program that is chewing up
the machine in that way. Does anyone know of a magic tool or some other
way to find that type of info?
