SUSE 9 enterprise with service pack 3 > (imagine that.. a service pack hehe) well, yeah. But as Warren said, what does free say? Having all the memory in use is a feature, linux uses unused memory to store buffers/cache the hard disk. If jan is convinced that some program really has a memory leak (not surprising, that does happen once in a while) then he could try running free, stopping one service, running free, stopping the next service, etc., to see what service is the culprit. top should tell him what the problem application is too though. if it doesn't, then it's likely buffers/cache. tiger this is the output of free as of monday 7AM:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 16414484 14929724 1484760 0 121552 13291244 -/+ buffers/cache: 1516928 14897556 Swap: 2031608 0 2031608 as you can see almost all of RAM is consumed, and I can't figure out what process is causing this, I already tried turning off process one at a time to determine what's causing the high memory to no avail.
