I am trying to resolve a problem where my NFS server experiences sudden increases in kernel memory usage. For example, over the course of a single 5 min polling interval the kernel consumption goes from ~35% to > 80%. On 3 of the 4 occasions when this has occurred the server has completely exhausted it's memory to the point where it becomes unresponsive and can only be recovered via break and reboot.
I know enough about Dtrace to get myself in serious trouble but that is about it. Does anyone know of any methods that I can use to determine what is allocating kernel memory and how much? -- -----RTU
