Load average stay as high as around 1.00
 
I type "top" command to see what are running on my system, and the load average. I see very high load average constantly at about 1.00. However, the CPU usage is 99% idle. Why is that? Is something weird running on my system? Should I restart the system in such a case?

Now that I have a brief idea. In circumstance, it's probably that some I/O process are jammed. If it is really the case, what should I do, apart from rebooting, to solve the problem?

Thanks very much for the article! It make me understand load average more!
