Hi, on my c6.3 server (guest of a vmware host) I have a strange load average value:
w command:
[root@s-doc ~]# w 11:19:23 up 41 days, 23:15, 1 user, load average: 4,03, 4,03, 4,00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root pts/2 dodo:S.0 11:15 0.00s 0.02s 0.00s w

But none of process still work, top have no process > 0,xx and also iotop value are > 0,xx.
This is the vmstat output:

There is some method to find out what it is that causes the load average
4.0 ?
Many thanks for your reply.

Ok, Then solution, after read this from bug 883905:
Brian Foster 2013-01-08 10:28:08 EST The current consensus for this bug is that the fix is fine, but the appropriate target is rhel6.5 and forward, as this is primarily a reporting issue.
.. is backup my data and converting (formatting) the xfs FS to ext4.
Or exist some other workaround?
Thanks.

Ignoring it, because it doesn't hurt?
Thanks.

Ignoring the load average: 4,03, 4,03, 4,00 because is only a errata display of load average and the real average is "0,03, 0,03, 0,00"?
