I have a server with 8GB of RAM thats running 2.6.14.3 with the UML Ska's 3 Patch. It seams the system is eating more and more memory everyday but i cant seam to figure out where it's going.
I free shows the following... [root@hostXXX ~]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8312484 8040500 271984 0 120664 7734420 -/+ buffers/cache: 185416 8127068 Swap: 4192924 2500 4190424
I see that free shows that 7.7GB is cached and i'm not sure why so much is cached.
When running through a ps auxf grabbing VSZ and RSS i get the following results...
For VSZ... [root@hostXXX ~]# TOTAL=0;for i in `ps auxf|awk '{print $5}'`;do TOTAL=$(($i + $TOTAL));done;echo $TOTAL 2459016
For RSS... [root@hostXXX ~]# TOTAL=0;for i in `ps auxf|awk '{print $6}'`;do TOTAL=$(($i + $TOTAL));done;echo $TOTAL 2239188
Anybody have any idea what is going on here?
