I'm going to try doing some monitoring with vmstat while running to see if I can spot anything, but I am not sure just what I am looking for. The VM system is not something I know much about, but I did read Terry Lambert's excellent message to current on KVM tuning and I'm hoping that this might help, but, if there really is a memory leak, tuning will not fix it. Got a link to "...Terry Lambert's excellent message to current on KVM tuning.." ? Very keen to read it. - aW
