wrong server load

Recently for the CloudLinux installed server the server load is shown wrongly

for example :

load average: 2136406556.03, 2136819086.23,

This is a known bug in lve0.8.36 kernel where it reports such numbers and the way it handles load on scripts that are seemingly using large I/O. This is corrected with the command `sysctl -w abi.vsyscall32=0`.

OR

sysctl -w kernel.full_loadavg=0

Where previously the variable by default is 1. But this will take some weeks to set the normal load value on your server.But as per the CloudLinux we can fix the issue by update kernel to newer version that is available via:

# yum update kernel
Do it your own risk :)

That is reboot into newer kernel (lve0.8.44).

Thank you,
