Dear Community,

I have a 64GiB RAM box running the 2.6.24-openvz-24-004.1d1-amd64 kernel.


My numsiginfo resource is always growing.

It grows linearly, gets to about 45, zeroes-out, and then continues growing again.

You can see the graphs here: http://biocluster.ucr.edu/munin/girke/owl.girke-vebc_numtcps ock_numflock_numpty_numsiginfo_numothersock_numiptent_105.ht ml


Does anyone experience the same behavior?

My load of the system is also growing, it is now 72 (!).


Is the high load a result of the siginfo?


The siginfo is the only resource that I can see abused on the system. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Perhaps I'm just blind.

What do you mean? How do you measure system load?

`top` or `uptime` in Debain display the "load average".

I'm not 100% sure what is the formula, but usually on a healthy box this value does not got higher then 3.

Hi,

load average includes the processes in a running state but also in a uninterruptible sleep state (in most cases it concerns with IO activity).
So we can check these two groups of processes (utility ps: D and R states).
Are there processes that are stuck inside kernel (ps: wchan).
vmstat - is also might be useful.
