I run two computers with freebsd : a server with 5.2.1 and my computer with 5.3-beta-4 On the two version (and as far as I remember, with 5.1 too), the memory is used at 99% after a few hours. For example, here is the mem. use after only 3 hours : Mem: 318M Active, 472M Inact, 120M Wired, 20M Cache, 111M Buf, 63M Free I suppose it's a problem for two reasons : music is experiencing some weird effects or distorsions (the same thing when I have a load of 2 or 3) and my computer used to crash when I was trying to launch UT2004 in this situation. There was not that kind of problems when I was launching it just after the boot. Another weird fact is that when I kill quite everything to have the same configuration as at the boot, the mem use change only a few and the mem free is at about 5% only ... So my question is : is it normal ? If not, did I something wrong ? If I did, what and how to correct it ? (or even a URL with a solution/explanation) I just hope It's not the wrong list :) Thanks a lot ! -- Gregory Nou Supélec
