Hello, All!
I need your help! Sorry me if my English will be bad. ;-)
I had installed FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on the mainboard ACORP 5VX32
(chipset INtel 430VX, DIMM 64M, CPU is AMD K5-133) ...
and have the problem.
I noted that FreeBSD is to be hanged after 1-2 days.
This machine are working in idle rate.
I begin to watch for memory. I was runing the script which was logging
the top's output and ps's output.
And what i noted:
Memory in 1:59:00 (1:59am)
-----------------
last pid: 4764; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 01:59:00
27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping
Mem: 6788K Active, 2840K Inact, 9164K Wired, 4877K Buf, 43M Free
^^^^^^ Memory is OK
Swap: 120M Total, 64K Used, 120M Free
-----------------
Memory in 2:00:00
-----------------
last pid: 4781; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 02:00:00
31 processes: 3 running, 28 sleeping
Mem: 7136K Active, 2840K Inact, 9308K Wired, 4926K Buf, 43M Free
Swap: 120M Total, 64K Used, 120M Free
-----------------
Memory in 2:01:00
------------------
last pid: 4841; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 02:01:00
37 processes: 1 running, 36 sleeping
Mem: 13M Active, 3156K Inact, 12M Wired, 7158K Buf, 33M Free
^^^^
Swap: 120M Total, 64K Used, 120M Free
-------------------
Memory in this time has grown through 13 Mb.
In this time /etc/daily was working...
The memory after 6 hours stays on 13-16 Mb!
Memory in 11:23
-------------------
last pid: 8643; load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00 11:23:00
27 processes: 1 running, 26 sleeping
Mem: 17M Active, 3180K Inact, 13M Wired, 7667K Buf, 29M Free
Swap: 120M Total, 64K Used, 120M Free
-------------------
I did not find a processes those were using a more memory!
I made the conclusion that a memory leak is in kernel!
I tried with other mainboard (Chipset Inte 437VX, SIMM 16 Mb) this hard
with FreeBSD but memory was stable on 7-8Mb against the 17M at 11:23
(see above)
Help me! Did anyone know what is problem?!
Please, to answer to my e-mail box: zal@rest.ru
Future thanks!
