hei

the log at http://karlsbakk.net/uptime.log.gz is a log create with

while true
do
uptime >> log
done

this shows the system load is somehow looping?!?

the system behaves well and is in production, but I don't really understand what the kernel is up to. same numbers are reported by top. sar and top etc reports no or little cpu and I/O load (<3%). The system is used as a general tools server doing some webserver, nagios and mrtg stuff. System is running 2.6.9-mm1.

please cc: to me as I'm not on the list
