Hi people, I have a strange problem with memory. System is FreeBSD 5.3, 4GB physical memory. Even in very quiet load, memory allocation statistics looks like this: last pid: 38330; load averages: 0.67, 1.05, 1.03 up 6+06:50:14 15:52:30 159 processes: 2 running, 156 sleeping, 1 zombie Mem: 757M Active, 2673M Inact, 220M Wired, 107M Cache, 112M Buf, 7000K Free Swap: 10G Total, 1884K Used, 10G Free That is, almost 3GB of memory is Inactive while free memory is almost used up. If I do 'ps axvf' and sum up the memory columns, I get RSS=1.5GB and VSZ=1.9GB (approximately). With Apache stopped, it goes down to RSS=0.5GB and VSZ=0.6G -- but Inactive Memory remains above 2.5GB. Is it a memory leak somewhere or what? Thanks in advance Eugene
