At work, I run pretty much the same services, plus an ICQ server (Iserverd, wich uses PostgreSQL) and a Samba server.
I also have a Novell eDirectory Server for Linux installed, wich I run from time to time.
I have only 256MB RAM and my memory usage rarely grows over 90%.

I just went through the exact same issue. I used my System Monitor program via my start menu -> System Tools(I think thats the path) to examine what services were munching up memory. Im guessing you have gnome installed? Try using the System Monitor Program to see what your Memory consumption is on a services basis. For me I noticed that running XMMS and several major servers at the same time caused my 1 GB mememory to be almost 100% consumed. But I somewhat expected this result, since Im running MySql, ProFTPd, Tomcat, and Apache, plus my normal PC usage(XMMS and Mozilla) at the same time. Any Java based application will munch massive amounts of memory. Same with MySQL, since most queries are written to memory and not disk. Hope this helps!thanks much, DK-----Original Message----- From: Kelerion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 10:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Memory usage Hi guys.. hoping someone can explain something to me here.. I have just upgraded my RH9 box to 1Gb DDR.. I thought, rather presumptuously that this might give me a little more space to play with memory wise.. but after looking through 'top' I get the following: -------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- 108 processes: 107 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 4.4% user 2.0% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 93.6% idle Mem: 1030908k av, 1021332k used, 9576k free, 0k shrd, 37020k buff 801620k actv, 27560k in_d, 21440k in_c Swap: 1020116k av, 14660k used, 1005456k free 804884k cached -------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- This doesn't make much sense to me.. as there is absolutely nothing showing anywhere else in top that explains why '1021332k used' should be appropriate.. I downloaded a Gnome prog that uses the gtop lib and got pretty much the same results.. so I am stumped.. can someone explain to me why putting double the amount of ram in a machine causes RH to chew it all up and not tell you why? (joking: I know it's probably not doing that and I am just missing a point somewhere) thanks for any info Craig -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
