Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm not sure if this is anything to be concerned about or not, but I've been noticing my box goes from having 46M of memory free at boot time (according to top) to under 1M within two days, where inactive memory has mysteriously increased by the "missing" amount. Is this symptomatic of a memory leak and is there some way for me to see whats reserving the inactive memory or an advise course of action to debugging this? Many thanks in advance. r.
