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 Hi there, 2.2.8 system, 192MB, runs fine -- but... after uptime of 12 hours or so free memory (shown by top, not exact I know but should be close?) has fallen to 5MB or so. Usage is shown as about 125MB Active with about 25MB each Wired and Cache. We just added 64MB to bring it to the 192MB and it was soaked up overnight. Stopping apache, raven and minivend (only things running to speak of) only frees about 15MB, so what's got the other 180MB or so? ps doesn't show anything odd running, and interestingly the % memory used by task shown in ps only totals to about 32%. Ideas welcome. Thanks! Glenn. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
