Thank you.
When I run free -m I get:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 15930 15771 158 0 191 14927
So it still doesn't look good with the amount of free RAM.
If I run top again to see in MB what the processes are using:
2498 root 20 0 2033m 3264 1996 S 0.0 0.0 0:01.47
console-kit-dae
2217 mysql 20 0 1270m 47m 3544 S 0.0 0.3 149:09.77
mysqld
2694 rd 20 0 979m 22m 12m S 0.0 0.1 3:17.28
nautilus
2696 rd 20 0 682m 3404 2468 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01
bonobo-activati
2248 root -9 0 630m 206m 128m S 8.6 1.3 2390:15 caed
Just a guess:
I don't know if this is normal to Rivendell or if I made a mistake, but
right now the MySQL database contains a log of everything I've played since
I started my station in 2013. Could I free up some resources by removing
some of that data?
(I only have seven logs, one for each day of the week, but Rivendell still
keeps a log of everything played)
