Hi All, I've observe something on my system (host) for a while now and unable to put my finger on the problem. I've notice after doing some cross compiling( building kernel, apps, etc) my system gets sluggish and drags. I did a /proc/meminfo and noticed I'm using quite a lot of memory, much more than expected considering what I'm running. I looked at the meminfo on my target and noticed the same thing. However, on my target, I could consider that as a memory leak on my application, but on the host? On the host I have a few things running mainly server such as nfs, dhcp, tftp etc. I also run scratchbox.
Does anyone have any ideas why I'm experiencing this and does anyone have possible solutions? Does this memory usage looks right to most of yo? I'm running sarge on 2.6.8. This is what My /proc/meminfo looks like: (for a 768M Ram, that's a lof of usage for my system) MemTotal: 776136 kB MemFree: 49360 kB Buffers: 178244 kB Cached: 178256 kB SwapCached: 20 kB Active: 268488 kB Inactive: 202512 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 776136 kB LowFree: 49360 kB SwapTotal: 1172736 kB SwapFree: 1171992 kB Dirty: 48 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 153768 kB Slab: 238680 kB Committed_AS: 220960 kB PageTables: 1032 kB VmallocTotal: 253872 kB VmallocUsed: 13044 kB VmallocChunk: 240532 kB This is what's mounted: /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/sda4 on /home type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=10M,mode=0755) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /home/junior/projects/scratchbox on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/scratchbox type none (rw,bind) /tmp on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/tmp type none (rw,bind) /proc on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/proc type none (rw,bind) /dev on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/dev type none (rw,bind) /dev/pts on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/dev/pts type none (rw,bind) /dev/shm on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/dev/shm type none (rw,bind) /sys on /home/junior/projects/scratchbox/users/junior/sys type none (rw,bind) This is what it initially looks like: MemTotal: 776136 kB MemFree: 614176 kB Buffers: 9664 kB Cached: 74132 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 86520 kB Inactive: 45072 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 776136 kB LowFree: 614176 kB SwapTotal: 1172736 kB SwapFree: 1172736 kB Dirty: 216 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 72028 kB Slab: 13516 kB Committed_AS: 87192 kB PageTables: 884 kB VmallocTotal: 253872 kB VmallocUsed: 13044 kB VmallocChunk: 240532 kB ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
