I am facing issues with the ubuntu server. my load average is 100. i want to
optimize my system in order to bring this down or use my hard disk as swap
like i do in windows.. is that possible
Something is very very definitely killing your system.
Is an internal machine, or one on the Internet ?
How much physical RAM is there in the machine
What services is it providing ? (mail/web/samba etc?)
The output of top - does it show many instances of a single process ???
(e.g. 60 instances of httpd)
Re: ubuntu server
If you load average is 100, you need more than swap to fix the problem.
try 'sudo top' and see what's killing your system.
I'd be surprised if you installed server without swap, as well. What
does 'swapon -s' show?

Re: ubuntu server
Just for the record, no need for sudo here, top as your average Joe user
works just the same ...
Re: ubuntu server
normally id agree but id his load average is that high using stem
bumps his nice level - hopefully enough to make it useable
Re: ubuntu server
Second that one...
