Good Morning, I had postponed the adoption of systemd due the excessive CPU usage of the journald. I am re-evaluating the situation with version 204 right now and I noticed that the (virtual) address space is getting unusual big.
My journald config configuration is: [Journal] Storage=volatile RuntimeMaxUse=648K $ cat /proc/`pidof systemd-journald`/status ... VmPeak: 131108 kB VmSize: 90820 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 9308 kB VmRSS: 6632 kB VmData: 448 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 176 kB VmLib: 1972 kB VmPTE: 106 kB VmSwap: 0 kB Threads: 1 .. The process size is decreasing (I assume when the journal gets compacted) so right now I don't think there is a (big) memory leak. But then again needing 130mb of address space to manage a buffer of 648kb looks quite excessive to me. Is this a known inefficiency of systemd? What is the reason for this behavior? kind regards holger _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
