Hi,
recently I had a discussion with an Oracle guy apparently involved in kernel
tuning.
I had some issues of "high" load on a RH3 server due to the infamous problem
with U3 (if I remember...).
He said me that "load" on Linux (i.e. output of 'uptime' or 'top') has a
different meaning than in other Unixes. Under HP-UX, I was comfortable with
values under 2-2.5; he said that under Linux 10-12 is normal and that he saw
working servers with load even of 1000 (!) using Oracle 'custom' kernels.
What do you think?
