Deadringers Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hey all, So I understand that the "load" number in Linux can give you an indication of how busy the CPU is. e.g. a load of 1 on a 1CPU machine would be kinda like saying you're at 100% CPU utilization. But on my system I'm seeing a few conflicting things... htop is reporting less than 15% total CPU usage htop is also reporting a load average of 9-10 On my 4 core / 8 thread CPU this should be 100% usage Unraid "Dashboard" is showing 60-80 % CPU usage. None of it is quite adding up for me? Screenshots below: Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Most likely the CPU is "busy" waiting for I/O from the disks. Quote Link to comment
