Hey All,

I have an odd problem that I cannot figure out.

Running top shows the inactive memory on my machine creeps steadily upwards.

Currently up 7 days

Mem: 26M Active, 545M Inact, 56M Wired, 4K Cache, 112M Buf, 376M Free
Swap: 1028M Total, 1028M Free

Luckily I have a machine with a gig of ram so I have plenty of headroom. I
run almost no services (BSD-AMP) on the machine so I am puzzled as to what
is using the space and not giving it up, or is this an OS thing?

Suggestions?


Steve
