The system's memory and disk usage will be pretty inflated for the next or 10 minutes, until 2:10am or so. > Mem: 13M Active, 3156K Inact, 12M Wired, 7158K Buf, 33M Free > ^^^^ > Swap: 120M Total, 64K Used, 120M Free If you were having leak problems, your swap would start growing.

I wouldn't be worried. > 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) Did you check the system log to see if any messages were present before the hang?
