Are there tools or utilities to understand about the reason behind high load on CentOS Linux. Please help me understand with examples.
How did you know there is a high load in the first place?
Using "w" command
- top - iotop

If you have RAID system, check what the status says you. You might be on a degraded RAID (broken, rebuilding,...) eating much disk I/O.
