Hello, Here is the output of top command. My understanding here is,
the load average 0.03 in last 1 min, 0.02 is in last 5 min, 0.00 is in last 15 min.

When can we say that, load average is medium/low??... (8 Replies)

Hi,
I am getting a high load average, around 7, once an hour. It last for about 4 minutes and makes things fairly unusable for this time.

update-smart-drivedb - update smartmontools drive database
SYNOPSIS
update-smart-drivedb [OPTIONS] [DESTFILE]
DESCRIPTION
[This man page is generated for the Linux version of smartmontools. It does not contain info specific to other platforms.]
update-smart-drivedb updates /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h or DESTFILE from smartmontools SVN repository.
It tries to download first from the current branch and then from trunk. The tools used for downloading are either curl(1), wget(1),
lynx(1), or svn(1).
The old file is kept if the downloaded file is identical (ignoring the differences in Id string) otherwise it is moved to drivedb.h.old.
OPTIONS -s SMARTCTL
Use the smartctl(8) executable at path SMARTCTL for drive database syntax check. The form '-s -' disables the syntax check. The
default is /usr/sbin/smartctl.
-t TOOL
Use TOOL for download. TOOL is one of: curl wget lynx svn. The default is the first one found in PATH.
-u LOCATION
Use URL of LOCATION for download. LOCATION is one of:
sf (Sourceforge code browser via HTTPS),
svn (SVN repository via HTTPS),
svni (SVN repository via HTTP),
trac (Trac code browser via HTTPS).
The default is svn.
--cacert FILE
Use CA certificates from FILE to verify the peer.
--capath DIR
Use CA certificate files from DIR to verify the peer.
--insecure
Don't abort download if certificate verification fails. This option is also required if a HTTP URL is selected with '-u' option.
--dryrun
Print download commands only.
-v Verbose output.
EXAMPLES
# update-smart-drivedb
