Hi I have a email box where the mem usage grows by 4% a day. The only
that we can do is to reboot the box to clear out the memory? Being Linux this should not be! A friend told be it could be with the mirrored drive.
This box runs POSTFIX with 600 users (local yuk!), apache2, rysnc (not in current use for SuSE update site).
2 gig ram, 2 80 gig SIDE hardware mirror, 2 - 200 gig for backup and install drives.
When the box is first started you see 600 meg of ram being used, now its at 1.3 gig being used. What can I do to see what is taking the memory? And what can I do to flush the memory usage, We also get about 7 thousand emails

This is normal memory usage, the system is cacheing filesytem use and storing it in ram. If the usage grows at a much faster rate then become concerned. So when does the memory ever get released. It just grows and grows and grows. Out of 2 gigs I have 19,124k free and starting on swap 8k used. Should I not be alarmed on this? An old UNIX guy is telling me that there is a memory leak somewhere.... -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2) * PLEASE only reply to the list * -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
