Weird...what does free say? Just curious because we've got a fileserver with 64GB of memory, and it'll use maybe 1-2GB for actual applications, and then turn the rest of it into cache. So, top will say it's got like 700M free, but it's basically all just used as buffers and cache.
With that said -- my server at home routinely "runs out of memory" after a few months of uptime, even though it has plenty of memory free. I've always wondered if it maybe has issues with memory fragmentation or something like that(?)
I have systems running for years without stopping - bernina:~ # uptime 08:28 up 1513 days 23:57, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.11, 0.13 It runs a webserver, rbldnsd, postfix, mysql, vsftpd. 2Gb RAM, usually 1Gb used for buffers and filesystem cache. If a server runs of out of memory "after a while", there's a leak. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-5.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
