Hi, on my c6.3 server (guest of a vmware host) I have a strange load
average value:

w command:
> [root@s-doc ~]# w
>  11:19:23 up 41 days, 23:15,  1 user,  load average: 4,03, 4,03, 4,00

> root     pts/2    dodo:S.0         11:15    0.00s  0.02s  0.00s w

top command:

iotop value are > 0,xx.

This is the vmstat output:
