Walter 04-22-2002, 04:23 PM Of course 2 would be the optimum as the CPU is utilized perfectly, but I would accept 4-6 if it's not for a very long time. And remember, a reliable server won't go down, even at higher loads. MotleyFool 04-23-2002, 09:19 AM A bit OT, but how is the server load measured? Like when I say a server has load 0.7 what does it mean? so many cycles per second or what ? Any one educating this fool will get an Injun Cookie!

Cheers Balaji From proc(5) on Linux: loadavg The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue (state R) or waiting for disk I/O (state D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are the same as the load average numbers given by uptime(1) and other programs. Best regards, Cory Bosley MotleyFool 04-24-2002, 02:40 AM Thanks Cory, Very useful tip Cheers Balaji |
