Sorry for the first send, hit the wrong key. Here is a more complete report.
There seems to be a MAJOR memory leak in linux-2.0.31-pre9. I put it on my news server, and now it is missing ~33MB after just under 4 days uptime! The sum of the SIZE column from 'ps max' is 79672, and 'free' reports:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 128100 126752 1348 11584 480 5308 -/+ buffers: 120964 7136 Swap: 66556 40032 26524
This is a Pentium 166 with 128MB parity RAM (motherboard in ECC mode) with an Adaptec 2940 (787x chip) for the system/swap drive and a DPT 3224 RAID for the news spool. The ethernet is a 3Com 3c590.
Here are the options that are set in my .config:
CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF=y CONFIG_M586=y CONFIG_NET_ALIAS=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_TAGGED_QUEUEING=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PAGE_ENABLE=y CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY=15 CONFIG_SCSI_EATA_DMA=y CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET=y CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y CONFIG_VORTEX=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
