Hi Fajar,
Thanks for you answer. It's the most usefull i got 'till today.
I will take a look at the tools you suguested...
The leak is from clamd...i checked 'top' and saw how it swallows all avialble memory until it is killed by kernel.
That is not evidence of a memory leak. It is evidence of as lot of memory being used at runtime which is a very different thing.
Would you call memory usage of 128MB leak?
Would you call clamd memory usage of 3GB leak?
Is there anumber which says "x amount of memory used by clamd is normal" ?
I know that the amount of memory used should be varied depending on system activity,
but when clamd uses 1 or 2 GB memory when it does nothing (well, it WAS very busy
earlier, but it's doing nothing now) is _weird_
Though I probably should rephrase my statements from now, and no longer use the phrase "memory leak" but "high memory usage" instead.
Regards,
Fajar
