    It means your system has a high load. Although this is relative. A load of 4.5 on a single core system is much higher load than a load of 4.5 on a quad core system. You basically can divide the number by the number of cores (or threads) to get the average load on each core. Above 1 per core is generally considered full load.


    Are you doing something cpu intensive on it? The system information -> Processes tab shows processes from high cpu use to lowest cpu use (output of the top command)

  • I am transferring about 2 terabytes of movies, software and data from another computer to my new server which has raid one setup on it so I am guessing that's it. Been running hard for a few of hours. This is on a dual core system with a low power I3-2120T processor.

    I wouldn't worry about the load unless it stays there after your transfer.

  • Hello
    I also get this Load Average warning... while transfering lots of MBit.
    The CPU is only 50% but I get the Load Average more than 2.5
    (with a trafic off 300MBits/s)


    What is the meaning of the load average ?


    As the automatic backup produce this warning (20 mails one each minutes...) I have desactivated it.
    Is there a problem to desactivate it ? (I maintain the CPU, process and memory warning)
