Load on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS high
- by Paddington
My Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server periodically has a high load avg spike(once every 2 days) resulting in Apache timing out and virtualy everything even SSH to the server is not possible. When I am on the console and run TOP is see that The load avg increases from less than 1 to above 60 in 15 mins.
How can I isolate the cause?
top - 09:21:51 up 37 days,…
