[[ Output from "uname -a" : ]] FreeBSD moose.bri.hp.com 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Oct 22 14:49:19 BST 1999 steve@sse0691.bri.hp.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/MOOSE i386 ---- [[ Output from "ps axug | egrep -e stat -e USER" : ]] USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root 41712 0.0 0.0 262976 8 ?? Is 30Nov99 0:00.00 rpc.statd ---- Now, I've only got 80Mb of memory, so the following output from swapinfo confuses things : [[ Output from "swapinfo -k" : ]] Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 131072 7624 123320 6% Interleaved So, I guess the question is, where is this 256Mb of memory that's being used by rpc.statd, or is it not really used ? Also, if I restart it, it grows that big instantly, so, do I just not need to worry about it, or can someone explain what this means ? Thanks for any help in advance, Steve Roome P.S. I can supply more information if needed, but I expect that this is normal and I've missed something obvious!
