Hi all,

I got today alert (actually blinking TimeSlider icon) that root FS is more than 70% in use (that is my setup).

Went to check what occupies so much space, and found:
$ pfexec du -sch /*
...
76G     /proc

Correction:
$ 67G     /proc/22973

I was confused, so:
$ ps -Zef| grep 22973
  global    mysql 22973     1   0   Sep 27 ?         419:56 /opt/MySQL/5.7_32/bin/mysqld --user=mysql --datadir=/var/MySQL/data/5.7 --pid-f

Well, that is self compiled 32bit version of MySQL server (we need it for some reason)...

What is using so much memory (top shows almost nothing)?

After server bouncing, I got 4GB usage for MySQL PID /proc space, which is normal.

Maybe my compilation leaks memory? Or MySQL setup needs tweak (some tmp files created in memory)?

I am just curious if someone else spotted similar problem.
Also, I know that I can truss process - but what if that generates another big file (I cannot seat and watch truss output)?
I probably do not have reason to be worried, but still - between my 1st and this second mail:
$ du -shc /proc/* | sort -h
...
1,2G    /proc/4225
1,5G    /proc/4652
2,1G    /proc/10220
12G     /proc/18087
20G     total

$ ps -ef | grep -E "10220|18087"

(please note that MySQL instance is used for some testing)

Regards.

P.S: rpool is installed to 256GB SSD drive, and /opt and /var/MySQL are located on HD zfs file systems
