Host Load for my Linode.
~~![](<URL url=)http://rstoolkit.com/hostload.PNG
Is this normal? It happens quite often, and the linode is barely accessible when the load is up that high.
P.S. Is this the load for the whole server? Or just my VPS?
Edit: Oh yes, i'm on Linode128.~~

I have a Linode 128, and it seems pretty responsive most of the time. My io_rate rarely goes over the 200 refill rate, and my linode has a pretty consistent load average of about 0.4 with spikes when I do package installs to a little over 1.0.
I've begun noticing that at about 7:45am CST every morning there's a HUGE load spike on my Linode & all of my stats that update every minute fail completely. By the time my stats logging comes back on the first value it records for load is over 20! So I'm guessing that means that it peaked well above that even!
I started another forum about this issue a few days ago here
(By the way, it can't be my Linode's fault: my Linode has only consumed 3% of 1 one host cpu for the month!)
