I was watching the total memory display at the top of top: Mem:385672k total, 379892k used, 5780k free, 6472k buffers Swap: 687952k total, 109924k used, 578028k free,88360k cached I wasn't watching the normal virt or ecc values because freenet spawns tens of processes and I know that memory is counted weird there. So I just looked at total memory use, at the top of the display, and watched it drop as I killed freenet. It may be a virtual machine problem, so I'll install another one later.

[freenet-support] I need to limit the amount of memory java uses.
I've read that there should be a parameter that limits java's mem usage in
/usr/bin/start-freenet.sh. Mine seems to lack that parameter. here is a copy of my
start-freenet.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# This script is a companion script to the Gentoo freenet init script.
# Logs freenet's stdout and stderr for debugging needs.
#
# Author: Brandon Low [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
${JAVA} ${JAVA_ARGS} freenet.node.Main -p /etc/freenet.conf \
/var/freenet/freenet.stdout.log 2 /var/freenet/freenet.stderr.log
echo $!
My node eats up HUNDREDS of megs of ram after several hours, and I need to limit it.
what do I need to add to this file?

You must be a Gentoo user like me. Look in /etc/conf.d/freenet.

Quoting Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've read that there should be a parameter that limits java's mem usage in
/usr/bin/start-freenet.sh. Mine seems to lack that parameter. here is a copy
of my start-freenet.sh:

Steve: This is interesting. If you don't submit a bug report to
bugs.gentoo.org, I will. This script, /usr/bin/start-freenet.sh is essentially
another method of running Freenet on Gentoo, the other being
'/etc/init.d/freenet start'. The init script correctly sets JVM memory usage,
but the above doesn't, of course. The init script properly sets memory usage
by looking in /etc/conf.d/freenet. In /etc/conf.d/freenet, the environment
variable called $JAVA_OPTIONS is set to -Xmx256M, by default.
There are two ways you could fix this. 1) is to change the above script to
somehow have the -Xmx256M option passed to ${JAVA}, along with what's already
there. Either add it directly or set $JAVA_OPTIONS and add that. 2) is to run
Freenet from the initscript, which requires being root.
Number 2, of course, is much better than number 1. For one thing, your number 1
will get overwritten in the future.
Let me/us know if you still have problems.

Re: [freenet-support] I need to limit the amount of memory java uses.
Interesting. This does not set a limit, so it would use the default.
Which is 64MB! Are you sure you're not reading the wrong memory usage
indicator? VIRT is pretty meaningless, RSS is more interesting iirc...
