Are there tools or utilities to understand about the reason behind high load on CentOS Linux. Please help me understand with examples.
The load average has relationship with I/O.
Not necessarily. I would define load as the number of processes who are waiting to get cpu time.
While a process is waiting for cpu there are 2 cases: a) the cpu is blocked waiting for a I/O operation to finish b) the cpu is calculating for another process
