Hello there, I have a computer running FreeBSD 6.1.
As time passing by, the memory fills up. When the machine starts, memory is occupied to 30 %, and after two or three weeks memory is occupied to 100 % and it begins to use swap. It is "inactive" pages that fills up the memory. I tried to restart every process, but memory usage does not decrease. Only a reboot can fix that. And I'm not able to see which process leaks. I was not able to find a correct definition of what "inactive" memory is. First, I would like to know what are these kind of pages : wired, active, inactive, cache and free. Is that normal that inactive memory usage grows ? What should I do ? Do you have any tools to monitor memory usage of processes ? Many thanks, regards, _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
