/proc/loadavg disagrees with top and ps
Hello everyone,
/proc/loadavg currently reports the following:
0.96 0.98 0.78 1/116 23994
xload also reports roughly the same.
But top and ps both report a nearly idle system (98% idle). What is going
on? How can I find out what is causing my system to be so busy?
This is kernel 2.4.26.
I am pretty sure I haven't been hacked, as chkrootkit and rkhunter both
report nothing.
This happened a few weeks ago. Even stopping X didn't help. I got so
frustrated that I rebooted, which solved the problem until now.
Thanks,
Reid
