I Checked it . The memory size increases with Time. i Tried ps -eo cmd,rss and can see the size of gmond increases with time. > >> ==2381== LEAK SUMMARY: >> ==2381== definitely lost: 69 bytes in 16 blocks. >> ==2381== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks. > > that means there is no memory leak (execpt for 69 bytes) This is so because I had run it for few minutes only. > >> ==2381== still reachable: 1,446,276 bytes in 1,463 blocks. > > that is the RSS of your process by memory I mean RSS only.
Here are some new tests I have done. I isolated two nodes of the cluster by changing their multicast address. On one I run gmond in mute mode and on one in deaf mode. The RSS of gmond in deaf node continues to increase. But the RSS of gmond on mute mode stablises after some. time. And it didn't increase for a week. Hope this will help you to solve the problem. > > Carlo Vaibhav ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
