I am referring to the Linux top
command. If it indicates 10.4% was spent on wa
, does that mean 10.4% CPU was available for other processes?
top - 09:40:45 up 178 days, 34 min, 1 user, load average: 0.32, 0.43, 0.42
Tasks: 173 total, 1 running, 172 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 1.3%us, 1.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 87.2%id, 10.4%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
1Not entirely true, if I have understood your answer correctly. Both wa (IO wait) and id (idle) time are available for other processes to use. – Benjamin Goodacre – 2014-10-29T11:17:59.750
