--- Comment #4 from xenothestra...@yahoo.com --- (In reply to Arjen Hiemstra from comment #1) > It sounds like you might be running into some kind of kernel memory leak. > You'll want to start with looking at `/proc/meminfo`, which is the file we > use for reading global memory info. "Free" memory is the "MemAvailable" > field in this file, while "Used" is calculated as "MemTotal - MemAvailable". > > There are a bunch more fields in that file that may be relevant for your > specific issue.

The Slab allocated > memory is memory that is not available to applications, so it is not listed > in the process view. Noted. Update: It happens when I wake the computer from sleep. I logged in to see that I had 8/16gb used up and immediately went "Oh no" and restarted the computer before it could crash. I saw the updates in this thread when I checked my email. Maybe there's some script I could slap together to log some data when I notice it happening? It's pretty fast. I could just output that command to a file to see where the memory was allocated. I'm not sure how helpful that will be necessarily (?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
