Re: Need help analyzing (kernel?) memory usage and reclaiming RAM (Debian Stretch)

t consumes RAM specifically, not virtual memory in general. Besides, from all I can see, the high memory usage is NOT caused user space processes. So the output from ps was just to show that even though some hundred MB of RAM (!) are used, just some few MB are consumed by processes. Kind regards

it required a debug version of the kernel (and that's > unsuitable for just about anything short of kernel development). By then I should probably go to debian-kernel? ;-) Thanks again for all your help! Martin -- Martin Schwarz * Karlsruhe, Germany * http://kuroi.de/

Only I can't unload modules that are in use, of course. Unloading vmw_balloon, vmw_vmci, and vmw_vsock_vmci_transport didn't help. > And that means - 'perf top', or better yet - 'perf record'. I have never used perf before, will look into it. Thanks a lot for your insight! Martin -- Martin Schwarz * Karlsruhe, Germany * http://kuroi.de/
