@yaser I don't know if this will help. From what I found in my case,the issue seems to be caused due to INNODB Buffer pool settings. I have to make sure by adding these 3 innodb variables in my mysql conf and its value by following formula:
innodb_buffer_pool_size = innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size x innodb_buffer_pool_instances Example: innodb_buffer_pool_size = 20G innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size = 1G innodb_buffer_pool_instances = 20 Unless it is required, there is no need to add custom settings in mysql conf. You can also avoid the memory leak issue if you use default mysql conf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789343 Title: mysqldump in MySQL 5.7 running on Ubuntu 18.04 does not release memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1789343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
