[PVE-User] native container strange cpu usage behaviour

[Leandro Roggerone]

Hi guys.
I was running unbound dns on native proxmox container.
It is being monitored by librenms.
After some time running without any problem following happened.
First begin receiving snmp notifications regarding "high cpu/core
temperature"
(temperature was ok when checking at proxmox cli using sensor command)
Then I noticed that cpu is at %100 all time on lnms cpu graphs.
SO...
I take out dns queries , stoped unbound and rebooted container , then after
reboot, I have following top output.

So ... Question is , why load average is so high if there is no processes
consuming cpu.
Any idea / feedback about this?
Thanks.
