I have a bering ulibc firewall running shorwall and ipsec. It's badly leaking memory. see: https://development.coopmetrics.coop/munin/mcgruff/mcgruff.html
you can see that it leaks pretty hard during the nightly backups. i have to reboot every few days or the machine runs out of ram and becomes unstable. The bad news is that this machine is in production, and i can't take it down any time soon. I'm pretty sure that it's ipsec related because i don't lose memory when doing a big scp transfer NOT via the vpn. Removing the ipsec modules does not free up the ram. Any ideas? Anybody seen this problem before? brad memory info below: mcgruff# uname -a Linux mcgruff 2.4.33 #1 Mon Sep 4 15:52:08 CEST 2006 i686 unknown mcgruff# ps aux PID Uid VmSize Stat Command 1 root 244 S init [2] 2 root SW [keventd] 3 root SWN [ksoftirqd_CPU0] 4 root SW [kswapd] 5 root SW [bdflush] 6 root SW [kupdated] 20110 root 268 S /sbin/syslogd -m 240 9531 root 332 S /sbin/klogd 19053 root SW [khubd] 23869 root 244 S /sbin/dhcpcd-bin -Y -N -R -d eth0 16786 root 136 S /usr/sbin/watchdog 14975 root 232 S /usr/sbin/inetd 914 root 272 S /usr/sbin/ulogd -d 8127 root 956 S /usr/sbin/sshd 11645 root 420 S /usr/sbin/ntpd -g 10743 dnscache 1224 S /usr/bin/dnscache 2076 root 288 S /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate -c /etc/ez-ipupd.conf -F /var/run/ez-ipupd.pid 1016 root 308 S /usr/sbin/cron 254 root 13376 S /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 16747 root 288 S /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 29709 root 288 S /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 31535 root 420 S /usr/sbin/ntpd -g 18574 root 1216 S /usr/sbin/sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5204 root 404 S -sh 22527 root 340 S /bin/sh /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun --debug --uniqueids yes --nocrsend --strictcrlpolicy --nat_trave 25116 root 296 S logger -s -p daemon.error -t ipsec__plutorun 30277 root 344 S /bin/sh /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutorun --debug --uniqueids yes --nocrsend --strictcrlpolicy --nat_trave 27023 root 340 S /bin/sh /usr/lib/ipsec/_plutoload --wait no --post 32018 root 844 S /usr/lib/ipsec/pluto --nofork --secretsfile /etc/ipsec.secrets --ipsecdir /etc/ipsec.d --use-auto -- 2607 root 476 S N pluto helper # 0 -nofork 6092 root 132 S _pluto_adns 1810 root 284 R ps aux mcgruff# free total used free shared buffers Mem: 119664 103964 15700 0 56 Swap: 0 0 0 Total: 119664 103964 15700 mcgruff# cat /proc/meminfo total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 122535936 106496000 16039936 0 57344 14569472 Swap: 0 0 0 MemTotal: 119664 kB MemFree: 15664 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 56 kB Cached: 14228 kB SwapCached: 0 kB Active: 9680 kB Inactive: 4660 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 119664 kB LowFree: 15664 kB SwapTotal: 0 kB SwapFree: 0 kB ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
